It's a difficult subject to completely understand but I think you get that across all cultures. In Asia, you have stereotyped views of other Asian countries- some not entirely good but others built on truth, for example Filipinos are often considered housekeepers...because across Asia they have predominantely been employed in these roles. Another example is that white foreigners are called 'gwailo' in Cantonese which means ghost-head but it's not meant to be offensive. Some people do get offended but what they don't understand is that it's part of the culture, there isn't another word for it. It's obviously a phrase that has stuck for many centuries. So even though that might not completely relate to what you're saying, I can definitely see the passion from where you're coming from!<br /><br />Also, I'm so glad you liked my post on Morocco, I loved it!Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507258879080813156noreply@blogger.com
