I kinda half to second. I was looking at some colleges over and Europe and that was one of my biggest worries... hell one reason I'm so thankful I travelled as a kid is no one ever figures out where I'm actually from(being in the south its almost worse since the us its self isolates separate areas with the sterotypes)
I'm sorry though >< It is unfair... since a group kind of ruins it for the whole. And I guess it does come down to we keep ourselves entirely blocked away and people don't tend to look outside the borders unless theres a crisis of the like...
But yeah... I'm in complete agreement with the rant and have felt similar on more then one occasion...
((hope you don't mind a half lurker speaking up but couldn't resist... especially since I'm living with some people right now... and while they're my good friends they've got a similar american mindset (no watching news only seening what goes on locally etc) so I had to speak up))
