Is direct confrontation really more common in your life than attempts at blanket solutions? This isn't really new, special, or different. You ever read a memo that went out to the company? A general email? It's basically "hey, this is more time consuming and difficult to get across one by one, so here's the situation." This isn't different.
Plus, the 'accent' point a couple people brought up is funny. As if there is no difference between asking someone with a different accent (which are always learned in a different place) where they're from, and asking someone who just doesn't happen to be white (which is an impossibly weak indicator of origin) where they're from.
Oh you silly guys.
