Stereotypes can indeed be annoying, but it can be funny too. While on an LDS
mission to Ireland I was regularly asked for directions in supermarkets. Being
of Irish/English/Scottish descent and wearing a dark suit with a name tag
apparently marked me as an assistant manager. People got pretty embarrassed
when I opened my mouth to give my best guess as to where the soup was and they
realized I was an American.
