In the book "The Summoning" by Kelley Armstrong, a character expresses his frustration with stereotypes associated with his mixed heritage. He points out that while his father is Korean and his mother Swedish, he does not fit neatly into the expectations tied to those backgrounds, particularly in skills and interests. He humorously emphasizes that he dislikes traditional symbols like cuckoo clocks and skiing, which are often associated with Swiss culture.
This character's reaction highlights the absurdity of making assumptions based solely on nationality or ethnicity. His lighthearted acknowledgment of his dislike for fancy chocolates, mistakenly linking it to Swiss culture, adds to the comedic tone while reinforcing his individuality. Rather than conforming to stereotypes, he embraces his own unique identity.
