Ok, so.... Hmmm I'll have to level with you... I was completely wrong and I'm so so so glad that I was. You know this racial prejudice and stereotyping people not according to their looks or anything but just their nationalities, it's quite common and popular I guess.
And for the longest time, I had this feeling that Americans are hmmm aggressive, scary, short tempered sort of like gets angry very easily and try to solve everything with violence ( OF COURSE not all, but most of them I thought are like that) what a shame I know, blame all these American movies with gangstars and such you know what I mean, I guess I watch too much of it.
As I said in my yesterday's blog, I was made aware of how I was absolutely wrong. The teachers, mostly from America, were so nice, both boys and girls ^^ I was like wow!! this is not what I thought!! I never expected and thought people from America to be this kind and friendly!
I also think it has A LOT to do with the media. The news from america that you see on TV is always bad, which planted me the idea I had towards them.
But anyway, I'm so glad that now I know the truth!

I'm glad you were able to see past the stereotype! And I agree the media is probably why most people think Americans act like that. But in all honesty most people are not at all like those movies!

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for following!I find it rather weird how people believe what they see on TV and in movies are really true(even though I do it too), and it shapes/changes the way we see other people too, when the reality is that they always exaggerate, omit and even lie! but yeah it was like wow to me to realise how nice they are ^^
