I feel like there's a lot more to say on the issue. This seems a good topic, especially if we have both foreigners and Taiwanese expressing their opinions. I'll try and write more about it.

(what i look like pothead?) My point is, there are all kind of material within any culture,in my cultrue might concern with beatlenuts?? Tech Geek?? Small Penis?? Flat woman chest?? (sorry please delete the line if not appropreate) we can joke about the stereotype but it is our choice to pick good material from our culture, and conbine to the best and present. An koliang offering to me? Sure. but be sure to mix them with grapjuice and sprite beforehand, better on rock *wink ) by the way since when whining become new stereotype for us (im taking notes now) sometimes i wonder have we ever thought those who asking stupid stereotype questions may come with certain freindliness behind, at least they are willing to chance a topic, but clearly you get offeneded.. wooo.. oops. The only thing that gets on my feet is they tell me they know where Taiwan is but point Thailand on map. by that ‘not bad’ i mean those stereotypes tags as old lady can picking, engineers, and potential in chinese teaching.
