“What is that?” the white lady said, jerking a thumb in the direction of the map. “You hatching some kind of scheme?”
“We are travelers like yourself,” Quichotte replied mildly, “so it is not unreasonable that we should map out our route.”
“Where are your turbans and beards?” the white lady asked, her arm extended toward him, an angry finger pointing right at him. “You people wear beards and turbans, right? You shave your faces and take the headgear off to fool us? Turbans,” she repeated slowly, making a swirling turban gesture around her head.”
“I think I can say without fear of inaccuracy that I have never worn a turban in my life,” Quichotte replied, with a degree of puzzlement that displeased his interrogator.”
“You got a bad foreign look to you,” the white lady said. “Sound foreign too.”
–From Salman Rushdie’s “Quichotte” (2019).
