He added: "I make people feel uncomfortable, people don't know how to react."
In a tweet, he said: "I know I'm visibly different. I don't have the privilege to hide my identity. I'm BLACK & my name is Magid.
"I don't intend to try fit in. Get used to it!"
___________
First of all, his name is completely irrelevent. Nobody would see it anyway. Secondly, somebody thought he was a tourist because he looked like a tourist, not because he was black.
