I've been up against that uneasiness many times. 9 of 10 times I'm
dumped from the gig a the last minute.

Sometimes it's prejudice, sometimes bigotry, sometimes it's just
personal. How to understand ....?
Lets say you're living in .... Tuva (west of China) .... and your
family comes over for Christmas. You find, to your suprise, that
someone in Tuva is fascinated with Christmas trees, lights, wrapping
packages, carolling .. the lot. They can deck out your house and
provide everything necessary for a big Christmas party. Your aunts
Doris, Thelma, Mabel and Margueritte think Tuva is the last place god
made, and are deeply suspicious of Tuva and everything in it. They
put MAJOR pressure on you to NOT hire this person, and spend every
minute criticizing the job, and reminding the Christmas specialist
that they could have done just as well for free.

That's about normal.

Prejudice is prejudice. Can women play basketball? Can men take
loving care of babies? Can a pretty blonde think? Do the Swiss have
a monster truck rally with Country-Western music? Yup!
