Kind Requests not to get whacked

Embassy got around to its latest round of asking its Registered Expats to do their best not to get blown up, kidnapped or otherwise whacked for political reasons on their watch, as it is very bad for business, causes much paperwork and generally is terribly inconvenient for the diplo on duty. They note in their kind announcement that intelligence indicates that rising anti-American feeling in the region puts foreigners (they probably should have said all those tending to be confused with Americans) at risk. Bloody hell, never occured to me, that.

If Scots mistake my Canadian ass for an American one, I can only guess how much of a difference people there will make between any Europeans...

Eh, you could pass for all sorts of things, just like me.

Canadians will probably get lumped in with the Americans. They're nearly impossible to tell apart without asking outright or looking for a flag.

Well, Americans are fatter on average.
