Are you sure this wasn’t because you seemed western/white privilege?
When I was backpacking it was shocking to see how other countries will perceive white people as superior and go above and beyond to help them while someone who is Asian gets treated like just another average Joe. It’s opposite for black folks.
It’s like decades of movies and media have built this implicit bias in our brains.
