If you're just a regular person minding your business nobody will bother you. Most you'll get is a "where you from?"

Happened to me in Detroit a few years ago. I was visiting my great aunt on the southwest side, Latin counts territory, with a Georgetown hoyas hat on. After some intense stares, young dude comes up to me with "where you from bro?"... I didn't even get to finish answering the question before he picked up on my NY accent and gave me the rundown. Filled me in on where I was at, sold me a 8th of some good greenery and they placed security on bicycles riding up and down the neighborhood for me until I left.

True story.
