Ganked from an old post at Seoul Daddy.
What can I say except it’s a stereotype for a reason?
(Though there’s another stereotype lurking in there — the angry expat woman — which is also, well, a stereotype for a reason.)
Or maybe archetype is the word I’m really thinking of? An archetype that gets taken up and roleplayed, in some cases? Hmm. Makes me think of Graham Greene novels, now…
certainly one of my favorites :)
*G* Have you seen the Japanese comic called something very similar? I posted something about it here once… um… here. Still meaning to get myself a copy of Charisma Man, damn!
