Not sure why but I get most problems from ...white women with strong personalities and full acceptance from other women of color. Strange indeed. :) great article.

By one side it's interesting to see how their nationalities affect the way they behave and work, it's also very interesting to see that for as much as we can we're sort of bounded to values that our home country provided us, so even if some of them are stereotypes as you mention, others are certainly there to help or slow you down. And BTW I honestly believe that most of the stereotypes are simply lack of knowledge, for instance when I present myself as Portuguese, first guess is that it's a province of Spain, which we aren't for too many centuries ;) second is that we're sort of small, poor country on south of Europe (which isn't so far from reality) but I love to see their look of surprise when you start working with them and speak fluently 4 languages... hehehe I have been following your blog but today I got across this post of yours which is something that have been sort of present in my life for the past 3months: I moved from Portugal to Germany to work on a multinational company, suddently you’re drop in a middle of people coming from so many different backgrounds and objectives.
