Nationality Stereotypes

Actually Tsawwassen is the extremely rich suburbs. Except the Native American Reserves.
Ladner has East ladner, which is filthy rich, but the center of ladner is.. well, comfortably middle class.

Vancouver's pretty much split up accurately though.

I couldn't remember what Ladner was, only that my grandparents have lived in Richmond and Ladner, and my aunt and uncle live in Delta/Tsawwassen, so that's why I know they are suburbs, but they also own a bilevel 4 bedroom house with a kitchen that's bigger my condo.

I always found that pretty frightening.

Tsawwassen's stereotyped as being pretty snooty, and generally aryan.
Ladner on the other hand's just supposed to be a bunch of christian-reformed farmers, except for east ladner which is predominantly asian.

So the only reason anyone could ever reach a different conclusion about something than you is laziness and/or ignorance?

C'mon now, how would you honestly characterize that assumption?

My friend Anna is from Kenya. She got very annoyed over the "Only in Kenya" flash. According to her, there are no lions anywhere in Kenya.

EDIT===
Or was it there are no tigers in Kenya.

Dammit, I'll have to ask when she gets back

Dude, it's obviously the tigers!

And forget Norway!

Wasn't Kenya the place where that elderly farmer ripped some panther's tongue right out of its head when it tried to eat him?

They scare me. I worry that one day they will drag me to their churches and force me to listen to their electric guitar driven sermons. Then comes the snake handling

actually that's the pentacostalists, not the baptists, but then we've got both here anyway so the line is probably blurred. though i'm fairly sure the electric guitar sermon crowd and the snake handling crowd don't mesh much. However, both kinda scare me, this whole contemporary christian thing kinda weirds me out. I'm old fashioned, what can I say?

Also, no, you really don't have much of an accent.

Stop laughing at me, sleep deprivation makes me stupid. It's not my fault.

I used to think those faked TV Canadian accents were exagerated beyond all reality too, then I listened to this radio interview with a 78-year-old canola farmer from Saskatchewan. Compared to him most faked Canadian accents seem understated.

Unless he was faking it, I guess....

Oh take off, ya hoser!
