Your posting is the most hilarious thing I’ve seen in ages. The fact that you associate nose picking with ‘whites’ really highlights to me the fact that many people in the States think very literally in terms of ethnicity, and can be blinded to humanity. I’ve lived in North America, South America, Asia and Australia – I’ve taught international students from all of the above, as well as Europe, Africa, the Middle East, the ‘subcontinent’, and the South Pacific Islands – and I must say, nose picking is a universal hobby. It’s not so much which ethnicities do it (we ALL do) as which individuals deem it OK to do it publicly.
