Hello;

I have noticed after talking to few people in Saudi that they only think American are "Blond & Blue Eyes". In USA there are 300 million American and they are not all White with Blond and Blue eyes.
So to the ignorant people, you need to know that not all American are blond and blue eyes. As a result USA is one of the greatest nations these days because of the cultural difference and different type of people who comes from different background. I find it insulting when someone calls me you are not American because I do not have the blond or blue eyes look. I would like to know what other things

Thank you
SAM

I'm American, but I have reddish hair and green eyes. The locals only know what they see on pop culture TV, where the stars always have blonde hair and blue eyes. People who have really been to America know better. I wouldn't get offended if I were you. You just don't match up with their image of Americans, based on what they've seen on TV.
