A man was taking a walk in Central Park in New York. Suddenly he sees a little girl being attacked by a pitbull.
He runs over and starts fighting with the dog, and succeeds in killing the dog and saving the girl's life.
A policeman who was watching the scene walks over and says:
"You are a hero, tomorrow you can read it in all the newspapers: Brave New Yorker Saves the Life of Little Girl!"
The man says: "But I am not a New Yorker!"
"Oh, then it will say in newspapers in the morning: Brave American Saves Life of Little Girl!"
"But I am not American!" answers the man.
"Oh what are you then?" the policeman asks.
The man says, "I am Pakistani."
The next day the newspaper says: "Islamic Extremist Kills Innocent American Dog."
