#TheyAsked: A Group Therapy Session

(The Root) — Since its inception, NPR's CodeSwitch blog has facilitated some very engrossing, enlightening discussions about race on Twitter. A recent conversation, inspired by a post on AskReddit, earned a bevy of responses.

CodeSwitch asked its Twitter followers, "What's the most ridiculous question you've been asked (about race)?" Using the hashtag #TheyAsked, hundreds of tweets were fired off during the discussion. Eighty-six of the responses were collected via Storify, and 10 of the craziest ones appear below.
