I was actually in a similar situation where I wasn't too good with my native tongue so people would constantly ask where I'm from. It's not malicious, people just assume you're not from here if your accent is different.
Your native tongue is the one you grew up speaking. This isn't always the same as the language predominantly spoken by your ancestors.
I did grow up speaking it, I'm just better with my 2nd language.
