This must be more of a small town phenomena. I've never been asked or have I asked where someone was from.
I live near a smaller city in west Texas. It's an area of the state that doesn't have anything to offer outsiders and is very clannish. New people will be looked at with suspicion, especially if they have moved from the west coast or the northern part of the east coast. Foreigners, especially middle eastern types are simple not wanted, respected, nor welcomed.

I remember not too long ago the prevailing thought on gun boards was that their fellow gun owners should move to free states. NY SAFE ACT thread? Move to a free state. CA AWB question or gripe? Move to a free state. That attitude sure has changed.

Lots of wealthy folks move to Santa Fe, NM.
House prices there are high!
So they just passed this-
Santa Fe wants its wealthiest residents to fund housing for the neediest. On Tuesday, the New Mexico city overwhelmingly approved a so-called mansion tax, which will levy a 3% excise tax on residential property sold for $1 million or more and use the revenue to fund affordable housing.
One of the reasons is that states are falling one by one. If you move to a good state and then it becomes a commie state, why did you move in the first place?
Illinois used to be a red state. Chicago was always blue, but couldn't override downstate. It's been consistently blue since the early '90s
Hmmm.. this type of thinking is wrong on so many counts I’m not sure what to say without getting in trouble with the moderators.
You don't have to but it's a conversation starter in most cases due likely to one's noticeable accent.
What makes you think that you have to tell people at your new location where you came from?
When Mrs and I moved from Pa to southern Delaware, we experienced a good bit of the, "Ya ain't from around here, Er ya?" Mentality, Mrs, being the shrinking violet that she was, had a rather curt retort to that.
When we moved to Florida in 2002, we were involved in one of those rotating dinner groups, dining at neighbors' homes. One fellow boldly said to me, " i am Noth Carolinian by buth, and Gamecock by the grace of God. And we dont give a damn how y'all did it up north." To which I politely replied."I would not waste my time telling you how we did it up north because you'd **** it up anyway."
No problems after that
