Hi, everyone.
I guess that you have the same so called "racial experience" in EC when we see different people from different countries. We must admit that all of us represent their Motherlands here and we judge the countries by the people who represent it. Don't you agree with me?
Even if we proclaim that people are different and there are good and bad people in every nation we still have this ancient prejudice that, for example, all jews are greedy, all muslims are terrorists, georgians are obsessed with women and all russians are alcoholics (no offends).
These are so called "social stereotypes" about different races and nationalities that cover our planet like a spider covers a fly with its net. And I must admit that I have the same stereotypes that I try to destroy but they raise and raise again like a phoenix from the fire.
I also want to present you a short movie created by Nancy Spetsioti. Watch it, please.
I guess that we all can think that we are better or superior than all people around us and it doesn't matter if we have the fundamental background for this or not. But when health or other problems come to your family, you can get help even from those people who were despised by us for any reason.
This long-lasting fight inside your head will last forever and it will never end. But what we can do, we can realize, feel and catch all those silly stereotypes inside us and bring them into light. And after it we should examine, prosect and destroy them.
Maybe these operations made by all of us will help to change the destination of the highway called "The human history".
Thanks for reading and watching this awesome short movie. Have a nice evening.
Cap Bee.

Thank you honey for the interesting blog but you exaggerate about Georgians I guess, at least you know me:))))
setareh, thanks for your opinion as well :)
Bone, write the example of your thought, if you don't mind.
kuku, thanks :)
Dear honey, what a great topic; you always come up with one. although I personally don't approve of stereotyping but sometimes we do it, because we grow up with such kind of attitudes and they effected our beliefs. As you said if each of us try to change our attitudes toward others and to have a positive perspective the result would be a better world in which we all would benefit.
Sometimes my ethnicity is relevant, other times not. I definitely get the best of both worlds.

ELF Noor, it's not a link for the movie. It's just a photo of Edward Norton who acts there.
Ohh i can not watch this movie, this link not working. !!
Estanis, this place isn't only a good place to destroy stereotypes but also a good place to raise them and give another birth.
Here it is said that all Spanish are hot and also obsessed with women if they don't have any siesta :D
clever, thanks for your opinion.
