Why is it so easy to spot a foreign person?

Agreed. First of all, Islam is not a race or nationality. There are Muslims citizens in almost every country. So just being a Muslim does not necessarily make one foreign. Secondly, and more importantly, Muslims are extremely diverse in the way they dress and behave. There are a fucking billion of them for fuck sake (or should I say "for reason's sake"? Which one sounds more pretentious?).

I have a Hungarian friend and I didn't know he was Hungarian till he told me.

What does silly intentional punning have to do with pretention?

I even made it self-deprecating, so it's actually the opposite of pretention.

No, that wasn't me.

You would beast me in FIFA 09.

i never liked fifa09 much.i really liked fifa10 but got bored of fifa since then.im sure i can count amount of times i playing fifa11 on one hand

For every step forward, they take a step (sometimes two) back. I think the best version may still be the original 1994 Sega version. Just good, clean, simple beasting fun.

I was gonna say that, but mentalawyerguy beat me to it.

When I walk around in European counties they all think I'm Spanish or something, when I tell them I'm Kuwaiti they give me a puzzled look then when I tell them where they are they bolt.

Pisses me off to see everyone think we club our women, rape children, blow shit up and think we're all sand ice creams. What pisses me off even more that I can't do anything about it and if I tried and succeeded I'd probably get shot by the Illuminati.



But yeah I can tell where anyone is from, I can even tell the difference between a Syrian and a Palestinian, a Kuwaiti and a Saudi and I can also get Asians right 75% of the time unless they're a cocktail of races.

If I had to hazard a guess I would say that the guy I saw was either Russian or from one of the countries near Russia.

Apart from the obvious clothing and skin colour ones I can tell where quite a few people by listening to them.

It's not ignorant, but like I said it's the easy way to rule out the possibility of someone being foreign.

Besides.....100 years back everyone was white in Britain. With that in mind.....it depends on how far back (or how little) you think means you're foreign or not.

I can trace at least 75% of my family history to being in the British Isles for at least hundreds of years. The other 25% ish is Dutch/Germany from like 130 years ago.

Lux, i hope your not saying that statement "the Muslims are easy to spot" is not ignorant.

NZG wrote:Lux, i hope your not saying that statement "the Muslims are easy to spot" is not ignorant.

It's not, because they are mostly easy to spot.

If you read my original post, you wouldn't take it out of context.

It's obviously that not all Muslims look the same.....it's more that they look different.

You have a few random converts.....and the Balkan Muslims are pretty impossible to tell.....some Pakistani/Bangladeshi depending on where they're from (i.e. the ones who moved from India would be harder to tell).....the Indonesians in comparison to all the other Asians....but walking around it's usually just easy to tell by the clothing and or their skin tone/complexion etc.

You can say that it's ignorant anyway if you like, but it seeing as how it works well enough for me it's probably just you being offended and defensive. Being Muslim itself is not something that automatically makes you stand out....I could just become Muslim and no one would know....but I'm talking about the 90%+ of "typical Muslims"

Well the religion thing is obviously bullshit, but you can tell a Pole apart from an Italian, because Eastern European people [sic!] do look different, but so do say Ethiopians opposed to Senegalese, Japanese to Vietnamese etc.

I can see what your saying but i just don't like the idea of seeing someone and calling them a Muslim(it is not a race even if they are a few tells). A Muslim can't be categorized as a foreigner just because they are Muslim.
