Biases

It is a good thing that I am intimately familiar with Italian culture and customs or I'd be ready to quit. The woman that I am staying with told me the only reason she is a host mom is for the money. I couldn't believe it. Well, now I do. Yesterday I found out that it is my responsibility to buy toliet paper! I was furious. It is good that I have been exposed to many generous Italians in my lifetime. As a matter of fact, this is the favorable stereotype that I have. I guess it goes to show that there are all different types of people in all ethnicties.
