Suhail definitely does...i hope he doesnt take it in a bad way :DOriginally posted by Khyber Pass View PostHe does look Iranian! Straight outta Tehran LOL. Well today I was at a store and a man stopped me while shopping at Winners asked me if I was Lebonese once again, I replied with a Subanullah! LOL, he probably thought I was weird.
Same here! I usually get Italian, Lebanese, or Venezuelan. But when i say no i am from Afghanistan. They get a surprised look, and then the sterotypes of what Afghans are protrayed from the media comes up. Some lady asked in a very sympathetic way, are you being forced to marry your cousin?Originally posted by AFG21 View PostTo me they think that I am from Greece and sometimes Spain. But when I say I am from Afghanistan they always say, hmm I never thought Afghans could look like this, -_-. Like Just to be an Afghan you must have a beard.
