I have no problem with the other nationalities, I just don't like to hear people generalizing all Orientals in school as either Chinese or Vietnamese. This doesn't mean I have anything against Chinese people. I have noticed this in some who have stayed with me. I work with German tourists and have noticed they tend to use tanning lotions or do suntanning in those tan salons, so their skin, especially their faces, take on a strange hue. When they come to visit California, the sun is the No. 1 thing they are seeking, and sunburn, cancer, wrinkles, etc.
German women tend to keep their hair short.
The custom of straight men holding hands is not limited to Italy. The custom is still in practice in Italy, or was as of my last visit to Sicily in 1995. I have observed this same custom among the Island people of the South Pacific as well as the Greek and Turkish people. I am a career U.S. Navy sailor with 23 years in the service and have traveled extensively. I serve as an equal opportunity advisor to Navy personnel.
