  • I have more in common with Americans, of course, because we share the same history. But I don't "prefer" them over those who are not native to our country. I have friends in both groups..no difference in smarts, personality or sense of humor! :) ((hugs))
  • Not a preference really but a history of it. It's the accent. Does it every time.
  • Foreigners? I haven't heard that term used for years. My grandma used to use it. It is very condescending, you know. I was born in England to an Aussie mum and a New Zealand father. I was called a "foreigner" by kids in the area I grew up with, even though I spoke the same as they did (came to Australia as a baby).
  • I love them all, I love divesity. People's dialects in general intrigue me.
  • I'm a foreigner (Englishman) and find it quite degrading to hear about people's obsessions with strangers as if I'm just a piece of meat with an accent...we have feelings too you know, we're not just there to be used and abused, which happens all too often...ah, who am I kidding, I love being a foreigner in NYC :o)
  • I prefer laid-back, easy-going, intelligent friendly people, no matter where I am. I could care less where someone comes from, unless they are my friend and then of course I want to know all about them and their lives.
