Big Grin

Except that I'm not that kind of Indian!

Well, at least this bit of Authentic Indian Wisdom is likely to fit equally well with Indian Americans:

Don't do anything about it. Use it for your own entertainment. 

For example, next time you get on the subway yell "Allahu akbar!" and then get ready to lol at everybody's reaction.

I get mistaken for giving a shit about ignorant opinions all the time.

I find the Venn diagram of people who jump to such conclusions and people who can be reasoned with is indistinguishable from the empty set.

You're asked this by white people?

Ask them if they're Nazis or inbred rednecks.

Wear an Abba t shirt.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

People often think I'm muslim too. They say i have a moroccan, arabic, polish-jew look about me. (Depending on The person.)
Just live with it, i guess? It's just one of those things. And no-one forbids you to correct them.

When I had my beard I looked very muslim.
I was in my Muslim friends car and he asked me to take my hood down on my hooded top saying we already look like terrorists and i was making it worse. Everyone would joke about me being a terrorist.
I think if you're white people think you're either hipster or Muslim, it's 50 50. I'd probably rather be mistaken for a Muslim than be called accused of being a hipster.

I have a similar problem.
I have to wear pants all the time as people keep placing cameras on my head mistaking me for a tripod.
