And the guy from Ghana would just sort of smile about it and never got mad.
I wouldn't think that a typical Somalian guy has a lot to be arrogant about.

No, nor would I. They both washed cars so, you know. But for whatever reason the Somalians held themselves up as superior.

The most polite people are from Ethiopia. They're smart and optimistic to a fault.

A good rule of thumb is that if they border the Baltic, you want to see them naked.

I messed around years ago with a chick from Jordan.

She was a regular American girl, came here when she was young. But she liked to remind me that her dad was hardcore Muslim and if he caught us ****ing that he would disown her/kill her/kill me etc.

If I was the p.r. person for that country, I would recommend a name change to Macronesia. Micronesia makes them sound insignificant.

I know a guy from Morocco if that counts.
