The stereotypical Norwegian couple!

A few nights ago we went out, and a friend of mine needed a picture of a "typical Norwegian couple". He asked two of my friends, who even I could say fit the stereo typical assumption of Norwegians. They are blue eyed blondes, and both of them are tall.

I got somewhat affended, and I had to ask him, hey what about me and my boyfriend, he said come on you know what I mean... I'm sorry I don't, cause what makes my two blonde friends more norwegian then us? Then me? My boyfriend is a full-bloded Norwegian by the way, but he's not blonde.

I've even lived longer in Norway then one of my friends mentioned in this piece, so why doesn't that make me more Norwegian then her? My conclusion is appereance, and mistunderstandings. Because I believe that being of any nationality has absolutely nothing to do with the way you look, and everything to do with your understanding of your self, the culture and the language of the country you live in.

So my dear German friend i highly disagree with you, I too can be "a part" of a stereotypical Norwegian couple

Over and out for this time.
