stereotype

So this was what happened today at the XXX medical field department,
"You are from China? So your next TB test should be positive and you should go to your doctor and have chest X-ray. There are more germs in China..."
I don't know how you will feel when people say things like this to you. For me, I don't feel very comfortable with this.

During this two and half years in this country, usually everything is very good and I like it. Just only twice I felt offended. One time was in Chicago and the other one was today.

Just like a student from Kazakhstan said that people thought they didn't have cars and normal machine over there! People thought they should ride the camels or something. Come on people. This is 21st century. Every country has its advance, even though some of them might be very very poor in general. Just like people think everywhere in U.S.A is like New York City, San Francisco, Chicago, all those big cities. But guess what? People might be shocked when they see the huge corn field! They might be surprised that they can't go to anywhere without car! and so on. So stop stereotyping.

well. just not feeling very comfortable with people saying things that they have no idea with.
