I was speaking to a chap at work from the Democratic Republic of Congo
about whether he likes to eat people back home. Human Resources got
involved and made me attend a Diversity Awareness course otherwise they
were going to dismiss me. As a result, I understand first-hand how
false conceptions of what people eat can cause a lot of embarrassment.

I still have the perception that Australians eat a lot of barbecued meat
but I don't know whether it's a false one. I'm assuming that if they
do, it isn't humanoid in origin.
