special breed of people

I thought to learn more about Americans you should go the US, because info that you get from Hollywood (at first I typed “Hollyweed”…) movies is so incorrect. But (… there’s always “but”) if you come to the US, your perception of American culture is strongly affected by places you go and things you do. People are different and same people tend to stick together. I’ve been around Americans for such a long time so I’ve learned that there are so many people who never traveled outside the country… and even within the country. Yesterday at the ski trip, every single person I’ve talked too (YES, EVERY SINGLE PERSON!) has been abroad. And I’ve talked to many. I couldn’t help but wonder how this can be. Thanx to one guy, who opened my eyes on thing that I’ve already known. “We, skiers, are a special breed of people”! Eureka! It’s the same everywhere… even back home those who do skiing is a different breed of people. They’ll never be representative of all the people. So if you happen to communicate just with those you got to know just them, you cannot judge the whole nation by them. There’s no perfect picture of nation! Not at all! You can use statistics, but statistics is black and white art, you lose so much information in grey areas. So I guess movies do represent America, you just need to figure out the angle.
