Once my family and some friends went out to a Mexican restaurant in Houston. The next day one of my relatives couldn’t find her expensive digital camera (this was in 2006 when average people still used digital cameras before smartphones). She claimed we were taking pictures with it at the restaurant. That wasn’t true at all; we took no pictures. Everyone at the table but her didn’t remember taking any pictures.

Soon after she calls the restaurant and starts yelling at the manager claiming that one of his employees stole the camera. She threatens to call the police and “border agents” because she assumes they’re all “illegal” immigrants.

The next day we find her camera in its bag hanging on a chair in our apartment where she left it before we ever went to the restaurant. It was hidden under a her jacket. No apologies to the restaurant. 🙄

And if you try to explain why they’re so incredibly stupid, for instance, because their diet doesn’t offer enough Niacin (Pellagra), or because they have a catastrophic hookworm infestation that causes developmental damage, they try to murder your scientists for ‘insulting muh southern heritage!’, instead of just adding supplements to their flour and wearing slippers outside.
