I've seen something to that extent thing happen in my office with a Canadian Iraqi...The thing is, the poor guys speaks only broken bits of Arabic and his French is better than his English...but he's very Arab looking and he's a practicing Muslim.

Some really do believe he's faking it, other r completely oblivious, they just pop into his office and start blurting out Arabic...the only thing he can do is try not to sweat hehehe.

Mind u I'm a Qatari, and I dress in local attire for work, but I was basically raised in the US, and I speak Spanish and some French, so when him and I r talkin it's a funny sight to see for everybody around the office lol. America have no look, race or color....It's a huge melting pot.
