What makes me angry is when people really ought to know better than to taint everyone with the same paintbrush. Sign of the times? Perhaps. But is this sort of behaviour really proactive? Personally, I reckon it is not. What makes me cross is, I have had to tread in those men's shoes a few times. Albeit on different occasions and for different reasons. Nevertheless, the feelings that arise out of it, at the very least, is discomforting and ugly. Regardless of the politics and the tension which brings about this sort of behaviour, I feel for those men. I, too, have come across situations where I have been pre-judged only because folks have already drawn opinions of me from some ill-conceived stereotype of Yanks. One is left to think: what if the eleven apostles were judged by the conduct of Iscariot?
