How do you answer the question  “Where are you from?” 

As an immigrant who lived in a few countries I find it quite confusing. 

I assume that the person wants to quickly understand my language/cultural background, so go with “I’m originally from …, lived in A, B, C and now I live in X.”

I used to lean hard into "but I was born in America" especially in my inner monologue. Had to work hard to unlearn that during the  wave of anti-Asian violence.

Now I think it's fair to let the asker do the work, especially in a multicultural city. In a less diverse place, I like your formulation a lot
