Same in China where some companies hire an English-speaking white dude as a mascot to tag along with executives to give them a more prestigious, international look.
There was an episode of Scrubs wherein the female doctor Elliott was given a sexist patient. The patient assumed from her gender that she was a nurse, so she invented a fictional male doctor named Elliott and claimed that all of her directions were being relayed from that individual.
I don’t remember exactly how it panned out. It was only one episode, not a major premise.
