One my co-worker from Ivory Coast asked if I was from Mali, and I said, what made you think I'm from Mali, and then he responded, they tend to be tall and thin and fair complexioned, if your not from Mali you could easliy pass as one, And Then I took off my winter hoody and then he said, That hair isn't of Mali, are you Somali, I then I said, Could I pass of as one, and then he started to laugh.

Most awkward conversation I've had. Of all countries why Mali. Beats me.
