Look alike?

Many Americans think all Asians look alike...Apparently Asians think the same about us... I was on the train yesterday with my supervisor, Mrs. Cindy. This little Japanese boys gets on the train with his mother. He looks at Mrs. Cindy and me, and then says to his mom in Japanese, "Those two foreigners look alike." The mother said, "Oh, they do not." The little boy tilts his head, thinks, and says, "You're right...their coats are different."

Wow! It is true then. I was eating in a Japese Resturant yesterday and my waitress mistaked me for Tom Cruise! (Yeah, right in my dreams).But, it is true! We stereotype blacks, asians mexicans, Etc.,Etc. Some may favor one another but, every soul is individual and different (most of all in need of a Savior!)
