After BK and I finished at CAIR, we stopped by the bank before going to dinner. As we were leaving the bank....
Innocently dumb white guy: Heeeeeey... Where are you guys from?
BK and RN: (look at each other in confusion)
BK: (Abruptly) Shes from Tempe and i'm from Pakistan.
Innocently dumb white guy: (looking at RN) Are you Pakistanian also?
RN: No.
Innocently dumb white guy: (waving his hand around his head) I was just wondering since you are wearing those things on your head.
African Muslim Guy who is standing behind the white guy: Its because they are Muslim.
BK: (not having heard the Muslim guy properly) Huh?
African Muslim Guy: Are you Muslim?
BK: Yes.
African Muslim Guy: You wear it because you are Muslim.
BK: Oh, yes.
White Guy: (in a stoned kinda voice) Oh so you wear it because you are muslims?
(BK does her Dawa thang)
We walk out.
I think we were both really out of it and the whole situation came to us as a surprise. But we couldn't stop laughing afterward.
