(Ah, I see you started a new thread!)
BTW, I think I'd have written 'pulled over'. 'Pulled off' has slightly different connotations here!

I saw that this thread was so looong so I decided to start my own thread but especially for you...
I hate when people spell my forename wrong or get surprised that I’m not Caucasian when they finally meet me in person ( no eastern accent) since my forename (thanks to my mum) and surname (because I married a Caucasian) are not of Eastern origin.
I kid you not, I once was pulled OVER by a black traffic cop on my way back from the airport to fetch my daughter’s friend who was visiting us and he wouldn’t believe that it was my drivers license and it has my photo on it ( recently renewed I might add). He thought that I’d stolen my Mercedes and I had my kids in the car with me! I asked him would I have kids in the car if I’d stolen the car!
Talk about stereotyping a person based on name.
