A Conversation from the Lunch Room

Candice: Wouldn't it be easier if you went up there instead of having them all come into town this wkend?
Ed: Why do you always ask me so many questions, Candice?
Kelli: B/c she is Asian.
(Candice waits for Kelli to say she's joking or something...)
Kelli: I'm serious. I don't know any white people who ask questions. All the white folks in Texas are dumb.
(Candice and Ed look at each other with the "are you for real?" eye...)
(Kelli leaves the lunch room...)
Ed: So, Candice, you ask me questions because you are asian, eh? interesting... i just have to laugh at Kel-Kel sometimes just because of where she is from.

Can you guess where she is from?
(Ed is white too.)
