This is pretty cute thought it always irks me how reporters catch random parts of a reugee's day and then people make stories out of this. Like, someone catches a refugee smiling on an airplane and goes "HMM. WHY HE SMILIN' WHEN HE ESCAPIN' TALIBUN, HUH? NOT A REAL REFUGII I THINK".

Similarly the famous example of a (non-white!!! prolly Muslim!!!) student who smiled in front of the burning Notre Dame because he walked into a tape.
