I’ve gotten this in Mexico (olive skin, non-majority name).
"But where are you from?"
"No, but where were you born?"
“But what’s your citizenship?”
“Let’s just have your friend register for the hotel/car/tour because she has an American name and we’re not allowed to rent to/register/sign up people who aren’t Americans.”
My family has been in the US for more than 100 years.
Why do I have Cheech Marin’s “Born In East L.A.” going through my head right now? 
Because that’s another perfect example. 
Every monk in a Thai temple has been defrocked after they all tested positive for meth.

As opposed to @Briny_Deep, who I’m sure is thrilled with me bringing him into this conversation.
The Finnish Prime Minister, Sanna Marin, is in New Zealand as part of a trade delegation. She met with the NZ Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern. During a press conference in Auckland, a reporter asked them this question:
“A lot of people will be wondering are you two meeting just because you’re similar in age and, you know, got a lot of common stuff there,”
To which Ardern replied:
“I wonder whether or not anyone ever asked Barack Obama and John Key if they met because they were of similar age,”
Wonder if he thought they were exchanging recipes or something.
I just adore those women. So smart and gracious. It is lovely to see.
There was another incident after the US Soccer team beat Iran, with a reporter and Tyler Adams and he too was so smart and gracious, it gives me hope for the future.
Every time I hear from Ardern, I get more impressed with her. It’s quite obvious that her tolerance for bullshit is quite low.
Who shot who in the what now?

You gotta hand it to guys who try a strategy over and over again that has never succeeded.

WTF? Don’t those sovcit (I enjoy reading that as “soviet citizen”) types believe they’re not American citizens?
He should be arrested for having a Dwight Schrute haircut.
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the employee is so stupid that he believes that’s the correct spelling for Monique.
At least the barista who put the cup on the counter called out the drink, avoiding the name:
“I can see from a distance, a barista picks up (my) drink and she looks at it weird, says ‘venti Caramel Frap’ and backed away.”
But then it went badly downhill from there.
Despite the distressing word on her cup, Pugh said, she initially just engaged with the nearest barista, a male, to try to get him to fix her drink, which was made incorrectly. She said that he was immediately “very combative and argumentative.”
“He and I were going back and forth about whether the drink was made correctly and then I had to stop myself and realized ‘monkey’ was written on my cup,” she said, adding she was the only Black person in the store at the time.
…
Pugh said the male barista didn’t apologize but refunded her for the drink.
She probably looked at the cup and said, “I’m not saying this, it’s totally racist.”
I don’t blame the customer for not accepting the explanation that it was a mistake, I don’t believe it was.
