I truly have been trying my hardest to not take all those stupid American jokes seriously and let it role off. And at first my International Marketing class was my favorite despite the jokes. But in seminars (the international class meeting once every other week with about 15 other students) I tend to get kind of pissed. I constantly feel targeting by foreign students that like to bash on America. First the case study was on Starbucks... and some french girl was talking directly at me 'why do you guys always have to send all your companies into other ppls countries...starbucks is so unhealthy.. you have to have so much cream and chocolate... its like a desert.' Excuse me if France doesn't like starbucks then why is it doing so well there??? MAYBE BECAUSE YOU GUYS DRINK IT!!!!
Today I was placed in a group with one french girl and one english. Today it was the english. It was like every time I gave an example she would have to say something bad about America. 'Well I think this reading is referring to America and how they don't care about being green and they just want to get the cheapest deal out there.' BLAH England is just as bad when it comes to being 'green' in some aspects way worse. Like I said earlier no one here as a concept of throwing garbage in a garbage can? Or recycling I have never seen so much garbage collecting on the sidewalks before.
Ugh... I don't know I know I shouldn't be taking all these comments seriously but it just bugs me when people talk crap and I'm like 'oh have you been to the states?' No? Then maybe you should go take a look before you open your mouth.
