'what do you think of people from....(insert country here)?' I hate it when people ask me that! I haven't had germans ask me that, but my tandem-partner has, and so did this one guy I met in Italy who was from Mexico. Like, I don't know what I think of people from (insert country here). If you're a nice person, you're a nice person, if you're not, then you're not. I don't hold any general opinion on people. That's what makes people people is their personality, I think.
What is it that prompts people to ask questions like that? Is it the idea they hold about Americans? Is it an underlying assumption that all people hold strong prejudices? Or something else entirely?
