Has happened to me. Dude ran into a light pole and when I went over to see if I could help, he hurried away with a big goose egg on his forehead.

They just don't have the cultural context, like that Australian ad about bringing fried chicken to calm down African soccer fans.

I don't know the etymology, but calling foreigners black ghost/devil or white ghost/devil is a thing over here. I consider it deep-seated xenophobia. It's an Archie Bunker level racial epithet, IMO. Not meant to be offensive, but.

Chinese people probably their share of difficulty with Chinese people as well, so it's not only foreigners who have to find ways of coping.
