Same sort of thing when you're a European-looking dude in Japan. They talk about you, assuming you don't understand. You look at them, say "soodesuka" (is that so), and leave. They get pretty embarrassed I'm told...Actually, many of the folks I deal with internationally tend to think that the Brits are a bit more "aware' of race than most Americans. Areas where that is most obvious are Argentina (natch), parts of the Middle East, and many of the Chinese "zones" near HK. I have fun in Latin America when folks, assuming I speak no Spanish, start talking about me. Loads of fun to pull out the Duo and start typing up a letter in Spanish. Many folks tend to want to look at the screen...and, as in Chuck's case, oftimes the looks are priceless! They DO get a kick out of my "southern spanish," tho.

Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
