they probably saw they were white people.

When my grandmother goes to the Middle East on occasion, people ask her where she's from. She says America and they get a weird look on their face, but then she'll start talking arabic to them and the natives' faces light up. My grandmother danced in the street while my grandfather played the dilbecca (arabic drum). Them and the townspeople had a blast together, and they offered my grandparents free stuff (including some gold jewelry).
