Just out of curiosity where are you from / what race are you?

  British, White. I'm not sure it is really related to that, my colleagues (a mix of Asian, Arab & British looking people) all have the same sort of experience. I think it is a product of being a) foreign (in general) and b) young.

    Well I am not surprised that you are not treated well but I am surprised it's not racial. I am American and I apologize for what it is worth.. I think there is still quite a bit of lingering overreaction to 9/11.

      No need to apologise, at all. It's not you that is making the situation and I honestly wouldn't bother apologising for those that are. Problem is; it is only a minority (IMO anyway) and a fairly small one. But they tend to be vocal/obvious, and it is one of those things that doesn't take much to make you feel uncomfortable. I don't think there is anywhere much that I like better than Manhattan! :)
