Thanks, that is a more nuanced perspective, so maybe I should give it a try.
"You're probably less "German" than she thinks you are, and more "German" than you think you are"
Possible. I am definitely "german" in many ways. I positivly associate with the "thinker and philosopher" tradition. But I hate beer culture.
But I also still have a unconscious deep rooted believe, that only german engeneering is good. But when I notice that, I stop with "wtf? I know that is BS". Those are the stereotypes I want to get away from. But when other people see me mainly as "german" - they push me into this role.
