People who gave you a bad first impression but they were cool -

They can be anything: Kiwis, people met irl, nationalities or particular groups.

After discovering many people I thought were cool actually weren't, I need some good feels people .

I used to think OP was a faggot and then when I met him, guess what I found out:

He was still a faggot.

The opposite happened to me with the Brits. Nice and refined culture my ass guvnar. All the men are dumb, depressed manchilds and the woman are all bitches of the 1st degree. No offense.

There was this one kid I despised in middle school. Just never could have more than a couple of words with him before we started arguing. Then, one day, we actually got into a fist fight during a lunch break. As we're sitting in the front office waiting for a lecture/detention, we just started having a real conversation with each other for the first time.

Today, he's my best friend and I'm the godfather to his kids. Funny how things go.

Russians are a prickly sort, but once you have a chance to share a drink or five with them, are some of the most zen, go-with-the-flow bros you could ever ask for*. The guy who helped send me on my eventual career track was an utterly bizarre Russian dude who claimed to be both ex-Soviet special forces and one of Teddy Riley's assistants during the New Jack Swing days.

*in my experience, this expands to Slavic people in general, except Slovenes. Fuck Slovenia.

Germans ☺

Gotta agree with you on the Germans.
Germans and Ukrainians don't have a very good rep in my country, but knowing some I learned that Ukrainians are crazy (in a good way), while Germans aren't those highty haughty people from Naziland and weird porn like I thought they'd were, but are actually very nice and friendly - a bit autistic on their language and pronunciation, but nice people nonetheless.
