Hey! A Korean!

The weirdest thing happened tonight.

We were just sitting around, and the doorbell rang. I called out "Just a minute!" and cleaned up a few things...

I answered the door, expecting to see the Ryus, or Mr Lee, or someone else, maybe Sylvia from downstairs. But, it was just a random guy. And a random female companion.

His face was hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. He looked so stunned, like he just opened the door to a chorus like of naked cheerleaders or something.

He pointed at my chest, slowly, and then turned to his companion and said "Migook Saram!" ("An American!"

Then he pointed up and shrugged, indicating he was on the wrong floor. Funny.

Let's run an equivalent situation. You're going to visit a friend with your girlfriend (or boyfriend), and you go to his apartment building. You get off on the wrong floor without realizing it, and ring the doorbell for the apartment below. The door opens, and instead of your friend of European descent, you see a Korean. Do you:
a) blush, apologize and indicate to them that you are on the wrong floor.
b) Do you lean over to you girlfriend (or boyfriend) and go "Hey! A Korean!"

That's what I thought...
