It has been my experience that 'it is better to ask forgiveness than permission' applies to photography as well.
Here I was think that was racist for Arab. That kind of bullshit always makes me get sarchotic. Back when I was waiting tables I had some regulars bring in a friend of theirs, who after introductions asked me where my 'high yellow' coworker was. Took everything I had not to give that the response it deserved, which I thought was difficult until the same regulars came in a few weeks later and informed me that the friend had died in a motorcycle crash. Turns out trying to say ain't that a bitch with a straight face is even more difficult.
Dang, that's the first time I heard that one. These hate words I'm hearing for the first time have all been in The South. I've had people hold the door for me and close it on the next guy. Wish I was making that up. I'm having a tough time here, dude.
Whaddup Jethro! That's why I like you. Thanks for keeping up with me this long.
None of my coworkers had either, it's an old one. It's that Southern 'heritage' stuff they talk about I think. Lol, I don't doubt it, people be petty, usually over dumb shit too.
Wassup? Hey, we're old timers now, think you're stuck with me.
