A lot depends if one lives in a city where it is normal to encounter people from around the world-- and probably not give them a second glance, but in a small town where there are less foreigners-- it is more natural to notice them. Of course we all know that it is rude to stare------

If I saw Geisha in Japan I would want to gaze at their beauty and uniqueness.
Yeah, I can see why, with me being different and all.
But the reason I'm shocked so much by it is because in Britain, there are Pakistanis and Indians around, but no one ever stares at them.

Then again, I guess that could be because they're quite commonplace now, but still, they're foreigners speaking another language, and no one here really cares.
same with black people, Asians etc etc. It's why I just don't understand why other people care so much.
