Name something about your country/people you are ashamed of.
I'm ashamed that most people think we're (Portuguese people) unclassy, of low class and immoral. I swear, as silly as it sounds, some people actually tell me I am very classy and they didn't expect it because they didn't see Portuguese people as classy people. And I don't fully blame them, a lot of Portuguese people here are just... horrible representations, and are promiscuous and immoral. Where I come from they aren't like that but it seems like the immigrants from there represent us that way sometimes and a lot of people in Portugal itself are just unclassy, a lot of teens.. it's really sad, and it's a bad representation for those of us who ARENT like that. And the fact that no one assumes we're intelligent or educated. My father was a surgeon and my mother is a surgeon, my sister is in medical school and my older brother is a psychiatrist in the making...
How about yourself?
