ID: 1822 Intermediate
Whether we like it or not, we're often branded according to the country we hail from. While we call that stereotyping in the West, Chinese people often find it a convenient and expedient way to understand a person's personality (Chinese people stereotyping; a stereotype in itself!) In today's lesson, some foreigners encounter a number of stereotypes firsthand regarding their own countries of origin.
