Generally speaking when someone asks that question it is with an eye to disqualifying a speaker they don't want to listen to, on the basis of ad-hominem.

Latin America? "You're ignorant, you know nothing!"

China? "You're under their sway!"

America? "Hypocrite!"

I tend to prefer to simply not allow the discussion to veer in that direction, and keep people guessing if they must.



It lets others understand perspective a bit better.


Well, my English is pretty good and I'm from Latin America. I think that ought to give you enough of an idea.
