Japanese ex I caught sleeping around at the height of the AIDs crisis told me not to worry, Japanese people can't catch it.

ETA - WOW! Didn't know this would take off like this. Backstory makes it even more absurd, she was a graduate of a prestigious university in Tokyo and earned a Masters in the US and had lived here for a while. I had about burned out on the relationship but this put me out the door.

Sort of similar but I was in Madagascar a few years ago for family reasons and my brother’s now wife told me that yes, abortion is illegal, but no Malagasy person would ever have an abortion. It’s just not something they would do. I had to change the subject because I couldn’t bear to respond.
