Yeah, uh-huh. Like the people who claim they can "spot a Jew a
mile away."

Don't take my word for it (and I don't see the point of subtle implications
that it's anti-semitic to disagree with you). Next time you're someplace
with a substantial tourism-service street culture (guides, etc.) strike up a
conversation with someone who's soliciting business and ask them to guess
the nationalities of other tourists as they walk by. Then double-check with
a few.

I've done it, and I was impressed.
