lol...reminds me in a different way of a situation a co-worker I had years ago got into. He was a young Koren American born in the US and served in the military but obviously you couldn't tell any of that (expect being Asian) by looking at him. He got a 6 month IT contract working at a GM plant and drove a Hyundai.
Well the ole boys at the plant, all they saw, was an Asian in a Hyundai parked at a GM plant.
One morning it started snowing, snowed all day to about 7 inches while he was working. When he came out at 5:00 to go home he saw that his Hyundai was sitting on a pile of plowed, packed snow with all 4 tires off the ground.
I felt bad for the poor kid....but still laughed.
