alas, why do some people always insist that american tourists are stupid? maybe because those people are too stupid to realize that ignorance abounds everywhere… although… i have had some fun pretending to be a tourist in the U.S. i went to disneyland with 2 friends a month or two ago (and no, it’s 30 miles, not 5 minutes from my house) and while in line for a ride, we donned obviously fake british accents and started talking to each other. why? we’re young, on a whim, and it was funny. some really stupid people in line next to us were really interested and started asking us questions about living in england. we were trying to explain the school system and being in forms, but the guy didn’t get it. he kept asking, ‘how come you don’t have four grades in high school? you need to have four!’. he was also pretty taken in by our staple food of fish and chips, ahahaaa. it’s just fun messing with people who don’t know better. sounds mean, but everyone else around us were trying really hard not to laugh. i’m asian, so sometimes really ignorant people (a bit harder to find around los angeles with the cultural melting pot) will talk to me rather loudly or talk in front of me as if i don’t understand. then i put on a really annoying fake chinese accent and play along for a while, gradually folding their faulty logic and conversation back on themselves, until i eventually lapse into normal speech and apologize for breaking their stereotype. yes, it’s cruel, and probably setting a negative image… but it’s oh so fun!
