It's weird some nomad will judge you based on your origin. Like if you're from Asia you're poorer than US or EU people. I joined a few dn meetup that's what I felt. I know I'm Asian but I'm not a passport bro or digital brokemad. I think I make slight more coz I work for US company (without being an American, hey, it's possible!). Stereotyping is as annoying as being racist. Maybe experienced nomad won't have this attitude.

I'm the opposite to you, white woman. And I get stereotyped too wherever I go.

I have had many restaurants tell me they won't make me a certain meal because I won't like or it will be too spicy for me. My favourite food is sichuan cuisine and I eat a lot of spice and almost everything. One of my favourite meals is tendon noodle soup. I know I eat a lot of food considered "adventurous" by other white woman. It's just the way of the world.

You didn't really just compare racism and xenophobia to you being told food is too spicy for you? What a nice problem to have.
