This happened to me (not w/terrorists but people making fun of me in another language that I understood and could speak)... I just joked back at them. In your case, I would have played along jokingly.
Quote:
I am from Iran but I have been told I look Arab. For the past couple of weeks, I have not shaved so I have a thick beard, making me look even more Arab.
Yesterday I was sitting at a coffee shop working on my laptop and this girl and her friendzoned guy friend came in and sat next to me. It turned out that they were from my country but they thought I am Arab so the guy said in our native language “when is this guy who is sitting next to us going to leave? We need another table”
the girl said “he is a terrorist, he is probably planning to make a bomb”
then the guy said “he is researching that right now on his laptop”
then they laughed.
I wasn’t sure how to handle this. An AFC would get upset and complain to them, saying something like "I understand everything you said, asshole"
What would a confident guy do? What should I do if I ever see the girl again at the same location?
PS nothing against Arabs, the above conversation is literally what they said, not my fault.
