I moved to the USA a few years ago from Mexico and I have always find this phenomenon really interesting and disconcerting alike.
For example people immediately assume after learning that you are Mexican that you like Latin music and they always give me an awry look when my answer is "Well I prefer metal music from Norway, FInland, Industrial and gothic music from Germany"
They usually follow with "But you are Mexican". Its like they feel that I am betraying my country or something like that. I mean not because someone was born in the USA they must like country music. It is just a personal preference.
What do you think?
