definitely south asians, according to the accent.SuperJail Warden wrote:
I know. Derp. My point was: the people you assume were from South Asia might just be Hispanics that look like people from South Asia.Larssen wrote:

Mexican men and Filipino men are sometimes easy to mistake. Do you really find it strange that some descendants of migratory Asians could pass for South Asian or Filipino?Larssen wrote:
Who the fuck mistakes an indian man for a hispanic guy? Dunno about you but that's some obvious differences.

I didn't say Mexicans look like Arabs. I am not sure why you are even focusing too much on Mexico when I only used it as an example of Hispanics looking like other groups. Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and Dominicans somewhat often do look like Arabs. I very often cannot tell when I deal with either. You don't remember GunSlinger? He was half Arab but still looked completely Hispanic. I don't trust your opinion on the subject because I doubt you get to see every type of Hispanic person in Belgium. I trust Ken because he has a fetish for Hispanic women. They are often the same height.Larssen wrote:
Okay listen, there are some hindu populations in mainly the carribean, guyana and suriname and you can see the genetic influence there as well but they're nowhere near mexico. Your average juan isn't interchangeable with a guy from bombay. Indians also do not look like aztecs. There's people in colombia that look asian, in argentina and brazil some are whiter than me, in peru it's many inca/native, in mexico strong mestizo mix. I've been around the world a couple times macbeth and interacted with many people of all sorts of backgrounds. From shona, yazidi, rohingya, hui to afro-brazilians etc. I'm fairly confident in my assessment that these guys were indeed indian. Also, if you're in a place long enough you start seeing some recurring face/body types in the population. Generally speaking, not a rule. Not all africans look the same, and in China different provinces have different Chinese etc.
Also to me mexicans don't look like arabs at all. A saudi or iraqi man has a very different build/face to a mexican. They're all shades of brown if that's what we're talking about.
They're called CanadiansSuperJail Warden wrote:

We're one step ahead of that. You have a QR code on your table which brings you to a menu and you order from there, then checkout & online payment. They'll bring you the food/drinks without interacting with a waiter and you can up & leave whenever. It's not everywhere yet but it's pretty cool, esp. when you're sitting outside.SuperJail Warden wrote:

canadians don't tipPochsy wrote:
What? I don't even get the joke. Help.
I'm not sure why 20% became the norm. When I was a kid 15% was standard. Anyway, the stereotype is that Canadians in America don't tip, and neither do black people, so black people are called Canadians in order to avoid offense. Now you know the secret.Pochsy wrote:
nah we do. 13-15% is normal. American tipping culture is super strange. 20% is the point at which you just ask why servers aren't paid more.
Yo not even going to lie I'm kinda happy I didn't catch this joke. Like my soul is somehow cleaner not knowing the racial stereotypes in the states.Jay wrote:

It's only a joke a server would get I guess because I didn't get it either.Pochsy wrote:

I only brought up the fact that I get mistaken for Arab as an example of Hispanic people sometimes getting misidentified. I KNOW ARABS ARE NOT INDIAN.Superior Mind wrote:
I have never in my life mistook an Arab for a Latino or vice versa. I know the look you referred to Mac, of some ppl from the Greater Antilles, but to me that doesn’t look Arab. It looks like a mix of Taino/Carib, West African, Spanish. The same for Desi ppl. Unmistakable looks. In the case of GunSlinger, that’s a whole other situation.
Y’all didn’t grow up in a multi cultural scene n it shows.

Shrug. I didn't originate it. The sad part was wait staff tripping over themselves to avoid serving Canadians. Can't really blame them when they're going to be working purely for their $2.35/hr, but it made for some real nastiness and awkwardness.Pochsy wrote:

There was a Sicilian kid in high school who most probably had some North African blood in him. He hated when people asked if he was Arab.SuperJail Warden wrote:
