Stereotype, What?


When I first moved to the U.S with my family I had a fairly strong Dutch accent.  Each time I would meet someone new I would get questions such as.."Where are you from? Where is Holland? Isn't that the capital of Amsterdam? My all time favorite, "Do you sell weed?"  As the years went by, my accent began to disappear and so did the never ending questions.  Good for me, right?  Now, they have started up again  and this time a person just has to look at me to see that I am a foreigner.  

My # 1 questions asked:
"Do you wear wooden shoes in Holland?"

David #1 and #2 
"Do you own a gun?"
"Do you know President Bush?"

I don't know... who do you think gets the better questions?
