Why do people keep asking where I am from even when I am with Black people. They always seem to ask about my ethnicity.?

I only have light tan, and I speak with a fluent and typical English accent as well.

    In Africa they would ask which tribe you are from.

    Your ethnicity is the language and culture you were raised in. In your case that could be cockney, brummie, scouse, geordie, etc

    Too many people are compulsively nosy

    And stick their nose in your business. I

    Usually walk away from people I never

    Met if they start asking stuff or say mind

    Your own business and walk away. Some

    Shout excuse me sir, excuse me sir, etc etc

    To try and lure me into their scam or play.

    I ignore them and walk away. They only

    Want to dump their problems on me or

    Cause me problems. Limit whom you

    Interact with.

    That's called "conversation". They're usually doing it in an attempt to get to know you better.
