Wow, your english is great
I finally heard the line - the line I've heard others speak about but never faced. Well, it wasn't said to me .. but to my husband.
At the conference in VA, I heard someone say "Wow, your English is really good."
Well, gee, he came to America at 3 and grew up in NY and CT ... I would sure hope his english is damn good. I mean, sure, the turban stuck out like a sore thumb in the crowd of mostly 40+ white men, but come on people!
Anyone have any clever comebacks? I want to have them handy.

I'm a fan of the "thanks, so's yours" comeback.
I got that once in India, from a visiting European Tourist. I said
"Thanks! I watch a lot of American TV!"

i used to always say, "should be, i was BORN HERE". desidancer's is more elegant though.
