defy all stereotypes

An American in Europe…
stereotypically?

Loud
Abrasive
Mono-lingual
Self-focussed
Unaware of the World
Pro-GW

Gawd, there are so many stereotypes. What I find interesting is that the Brits have absolutely no qualms about telling you to your face that that’s how they perceive you/other Americans.

So, while I’m trying hard not to be a negative stereotype, I’m also not claiming to be Canadian. I just want to be who I am, which is a gal from the States who does, in fact, like country music and thinks that small farmers should get agricultural subsidies.

I’m a lesbian who drives a pickup and listens to the Indigo Girls and Melissa Etheridge…
