It's funny but I remember when I went to an Asian country once I was actually eager to get myself photographed with a mall security guard all because he was a mall security guard armed with a combat shotgun; it was the coolest thing my eighteen year old self had ever seen. My sister was originally like " no!", but then she also wanted a photograph with him. Dude was a mall security guard with a combat shotgun, honestly coolest thing I'd seen by that point in my life.
I have not met a single mall security guard that I would be comfortable possessing a combat shotgun, but I'm glad you had fun I guess

Eighteen year olds tend to be pretty dumb
I've seen mall security guards with full on submachine guns and assault rifles like the Beretta MX4 and various Galil/R4/R5 variants, along with body armour.
South Africa is something else at times.
I swear, white people made that shit up just so they can mental masturbate about the idea of other humans viewing them as literal gods.
I have never met a single person from anywhere in Asia do that while in college, and the university I went to is pretty popular for international students.
Maybe if you go to tourist sites in China and it was 15 years ago? Considering tourist sites are visited by people from the countrysides
As an average looking mayo, I had tons of people asking to take my picture in the middle of Xi'an around 2016. I wasn't there as a tourist though so we weren't anywhere near the terracotta army or anything and were probably the only non-Chinese people to be at the rural temples and stuff we were visiting. I thought one guy was asking me to take his picture in front of a big mural, but he pulled me in for a selfie instead. I don't think it was like "omg a white person" though as much as "omg a foreigner in my part of town". If they weren't so racist, someone in rural Arkansas (or wherever) would probably get excited about a Chinese person in their town just because its a rare circumstance.
