Was it a hoax

My question was not entirely tongue in cheek. I'm sure that none of us consider Rob a foreigner. Similarly, if a family from another country lived next door to you for several years, and you learned of naturalization of the adults, you would more than likely consider them neighbors rather than foreigners. Would one be more likely to consider them foreigners if they had a different skin color or a strong accent.

On the other hand, my secretary is from Germany, and has lived her for more years than it would be polite to tell. She has impeccable grammar, and only a hint of an accent if you listen for it. Nevertheless, she has chosen to retain her German citizenship. Very few would consider her a foreigner. She is also blond and fair-skinned and would "pass" for an American.

I suppose my point is that appearances have much more of an affect on us than we are sometimes willing to acknowledge.
