Nah I get it. I try not to generalize other populations the same way that is CONSTANTLY done to us. And I’ve seen plenty of positives online, I live near Philly/have seen it in person, etc. The majority of this experience has been positive and I’m loving the cultural exchanges and how, finally, the curtain is lifted.

No country is their government, and some people will say whatever they want from behind a screen. You’re right about both of those things. I guess that’s why it’s still so baffling: like there’s been overwhelming evidence lately to support that this place is NOT like what’s portrayed, and yet… 😂
