Yes, there are people out there who haven't separated stereotypes out and may dislike an entire country/race/nationality etc for one bad experience. That's not wonderful, but yes it occurs and as you said, they often find the truth by associating with the very people they think they despise! Now about you English... teehee...(uh.. actually every one of you has been so darned NICE! LOL ) Cloudy

I met my first American when I was 19, on a train. A black American airman. He was the nicest person I had ever met; everyone in the coach was looking all gloomy and not talking to each other (typical English!), and he started singing, and making jokes and in the end we were all laughing and talking! He was really nice.
First impressions make SUCH a difference!
