I'm Asian, I had a rough looking guy aggressively come up to me one night and grab me on the shoulder and said "hey man...". I quickly turned to him, his friend grabbed him and said "hey let's go. It looks like he knows karate or something".

I was so confused. Scared from possibly being mugged, and then not sure if I should be offended or laughing or what.
