If the guy is this freaked out in Istanbul, one can only wonder how hysterical he'll behave when he finally makes it back to America and finds out there are blacks in the White House.

Good for a laugh, I guess. Dumb-ass American tourist goes to a Muslim country near the middle east, and gets freaked out by the presence of �arab types�.

I find it almost equally amusing that people in the comments section feel obligated to critique the guy's reasoning...

What could possibly be more quintessentially "Dave's Current Events Forum" than a white North American male hysterically voicing his fears about Arab types? Very Happy

I'm guessing he had a connecting flight there and didn't know what to expect. It's still funny, albeit embarrassing.
