Oh dear, profiling. Get real. I'm using my common sense to put two and two together. The guy's English is way rough, no way is he a native English speaker and that name does not sound middle eastern or African in any way, shape, or form.

Of course he's using the name to try to slide by. The dumbass would have been much better off using a middle eastern sounding name and saying he was from Morocco or Egypt.

When I pull the plug on him, I'm going to point out that he'll never have the requisite English skills to pull this off w/o spending 5 years, at least, in the US or Britain, and if he could pull that off, he'd have better options for honest work.

I'm going to go all preacher on his ass and tell him how he's damaging the honor of his family and his nation.

I'm sure it will have an enormous impact.
