Common sterotypes of you and your country

[matumba]

U.S. - Blah blah blah.

Pennsylvania - People usually associate us the entire state with the Amish and Mennonites even though it's a small area.

Pennsylvania is a big state so we have our own stereotypes within. Because I am from the Northeast part of the state I must be an Irish coal miner prone to drunken brawling (while I am of Irish descent everyone knows it's the Welsh fuckers on the other side of the valley who are the drunken brawling twats). And even in my own county the town I'm from means that I must be a dairy farmer.

Canada - what all the other Canadians said....eh.

Quebec - I`m an ignorant frenchmen who despises anyone who speaks english because they want to assimilate my oh so unique culture and language (a botched form of french). I live in denial about the Seven Years` war in 1754-1763. I believe with all my heart that Quebec is not a province but a Country. I have pepsi and maywest for breakfast and poutine (french fries, cheese and gravy) for all other meals.

in reality : none of the above, I consider myself Canadian not Quebecois.



...and I guess poutine is ok

Me - I wear black and have long hair and that makes me emo/goth/whatever scene is popular(nope, extreme metal only please). I do computer science so automatically I am a social retard who is really smart and has no friends(i wont go into detail but false )

Country - I am Irish(as in actually Irish, as in, I live in Ireland) so automatically, I am a drunk, retarded, not actually Irish but British since they are interchangeable , have bad teeth because by association I am British as well as Irish, LOVE potatoes, Ginger, talk like leprechauns on American TV shows.(ok some truth to some of these, I go love drink, and potatoes)

Xbox live is the worst, anyone who can speak English and doesn't have an American accent is automatically British(country not specified) and hence has bad teeth, I facepalm every time before explaining the variety of things wrong with that.

British ,Aussie and (and another which I cant remember) accents are closely similar, yet automatically all the 12 year olds jump on the bad teeth British bandwagon. I love ingorant children.

I don't think so, I could pick about a dozen English accents alone, let alone Scottish, welsh, or Northern Irish. Aussies speak way different to English aswell, listen to Coronation Street then listen to Home and Away, worlds apart man. Don't get me started on Irish accents, I just have a fairly generic non-distinct one, but there is about 6 different Irish accents I could pick out too. I severely hate it when non-American English speaking people get grouped together, it just shows complete ignorance.

I'm from Texas.

Let's see, most people believe I ride a horse to school.
That I carry a gun at all times.
We only eat chili.
Everything is bigger.
Plus a few other.

Oh, and just about anytime I tell someone around the age of 30-50 where I'm from they recite that line from Full Metal Jacket.

Anyways, I don't ride a horse to school.
I do own weapons but I don't actively carry them.
I love chili, but we also have this amazing thing called Tex-Mex
Most things are bigger. Like our highways are longer. We have the worlds largest jackrabbit statue.
Oh, and yes it is true, every real Texan is extremely patriotic for their home state. They'll tell you anytime, just ask them.

Lulz We have a Tex Mex up here in New Jersey

Well, I'm form Maryland (US), so not only do I hear stereotypes about what stupid egotistical globe stompers we are, I also get the added bonus of being from "The South." Boy oh boy, that sure is fun.

I'm from VA. You are not from the south. I am not from the south (I define the south to begin below the counties right outside of DC). Fairfax, Arlington, northern VA is so different from the southern part that it simply isn't part of the same region.

Maryland is technically a southern state, though it is more neutral as far as north/south goes. It is below the Mason-Dixon line, and on most forms and papers it is labeled as southern. However, I am from northern Maryland, about half an hour from PA, so it's not really the south.

Eh, the Mason-Dixon line needs to be updated. Maryland is definitely not the south, at least in my book. Virginia is, but you wouldn't know it if you came to the part where I live.

This one applies to me, and I hate it. Im a male with longer hair, so I'm classified as a "stoner" or "pot-head". I really hate this one.

Me, I consider myself to learn more towards Europe.
Never felt like I belonged in America, Europe just seems like my kinda place.
