I'd still have the same opinion about anybody so paranoid about being killed. Doesn't matter to me that he's black.
I'm south asian and yes I have met him on several occassions and even spoken to him. I say again...he's a con artist (and that has nothing to do with his race, but everything to do with his character). Sadly he isn't the biggest con artist down at the court house, he used to be, but now someone else has wrestled that title away from him.
