[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it bugs me. I have an in-laws from another country and it got old to listen to her complaints. I had no answer to many of her comments and felt that a lot of it was said to invoke shame. They moved to that country and now she is less critical of Americans. I worked with many immigrants over the years and one thing that bugged me a lot was that they’d talk about how family-oriented they are or that they put family first. As if we don’t care. They weren’t looking closely at people’s lives and were just repeating stereotypes. And another person’s thing was to talk about how well-educated their family was in their country, and that in general their culture prizes learning more. I bought that until I realized that I would never bring up where my dad, mom, husband or other family members went to school and that they were impressive places. My family emphasized education but I’d never talk about it. [/quote]
