Talked with a Turk yesterday.

I met a Turkish girl at a bar yesterday, through friends. Her name sounded Turkish, and she had gray eyes, so I asked her if she was Turkish, and I was right.

(I hadn't heard a devoiced r at the end of words, a tell-tale sign of a Turk -- at the ends of words, Turks make their "r"s sound like "sh"s -- but I figured the rest was enough to go on, and I was right.)

After I did this, she told me that people sometimes ask her what religion she is, and she says Muslim, and then people are usually like "oh", though once someone was like, "Really? But you dress like a slut!"

She was then like, "People just don't get that we're not Arabs."
