Maybe it is different when you don't _look_ like you're a US citizen.

- fermienrico 8y agoI look very close to an Arab person than I look like a typical US Citizen. My friends joke if I should get rid of my facial hair for the expediency of immigration. I’ve always been treated well and this goes for vast number of Americans and Foreigners that enter US.
- magduf 8y agoArab people look very close to "white" people, and even more so these days since almost all American men have decided to wear giant, fuzzy beards.
- maccio92 8y agoHow does a US citizen _look_? Last I checked we were an incredibly diverse nation.
- Insanity 8y agoWell, I meant what they think a US citizen would look like. For example, if you look Asian, you might still be a US citizen but more likely they'd treat you differently. I'm saying this as someone who is married to a Mexican and crosses the US border by car. In general the experiences have been good by the way - just not all the time. I'm just saying that it could be influenced by the way you look.
- askmike 8y ago(not big in American ethnicity but) I think his point is that "looking like a US citizen" is basically either being European, native American or African American. Which I guess is kind of like everyone except for people who look like Asian, South American or from the Middle East.
