I reached the point when listen to people calling others by their race or nationality make me sick. To me it sounds superiority or else inferiority.
At first I told everyone where am from just to let them know "who I am". Lot of reactions over the statement just because they know a lot, somewhat don't know, and maybe don't know anything at all. I decided not to brag more about how beautifull my country is, or how rich in culture we are. I let them know I am as person and not give them a chance to generelasize my people just because a single me.
For your concern, that is not easy since you live in world full of prejudice. Before I steped in Australia some said Aussies are frickin racist. Once I live around that is make sense. This kanggoroo land is any etnicity melting pot. You name it you got any race you want.
But, it would too much if I say all Aussies are racist, because all other people are.
I work with different kind of nationalities one time. Everyone talked about others just because their nationality. I was always around different nationality and they talked about others. And also the other way around. I believe there are some talks about me when I am not around.
All were the same. Whenever they talked they would say: 'I am race X I will not do that!', or those race Y is so lazy, well 'they are famous for that'. Those are only few stuff came out their mouth. I tried not to listen to that, so boring.
Other form of boringness is when you listen your friend identified his/her friend with its nationality. Oh well sometime it has nothing to do when you put in any conversation. It is like this "yesterday I went to coffe shop with my nationality Z friend". I would like make a comment: oh that's why you are friend with him/her, because of his nationality.
I am fed up with all those. Especially when I become prejudiced. I was in one party one night. A random old looking guy asked me where I am from and wether I am single or not. Lazily I answered him and emphasized that I am no longer available. Just believe me the next question he asked was so annoying: I am a resident, so if you want.... We can..."
He never finished his line since I turned my back to calm me down otherwise my fist would have left mark on his face.
Anyone knows why did he do that? Because they have idea that women from my country will do anything to live overseas and be with men who has money.
So that is why I am out off nationality topics.
