[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] Why is it so offensive when people make assumptions about you based on the way you look or talk? I don't get it. That's how we work. You analyze with your senses and make assumptions about your environment. Some people are better at it than others. Being a big stinky and fully-americanized kraut, if someone thought I was Irish or Swedish or Danish or Dutch, it wouldn't surprise me. Like, yeah, I'm a really big white dude with blue eyes and blonde hair. So it's kind of a gimme. If a person of asian descent had difficulty distinguishing between the admittedly subtle variations in scandanavian heritage, I wouldn't be the slightest bit offended. I have difficulty with it at times myself. And so sometimes people don't know the differences between Danish wrtiting and German, and that's a totally natural mistake. Who's got time to be offended by that? How is it different if I have a tough time distinguishing Cambodians from Vietnamese? [/QB][/QUOTE]
