Common sterotypes of you and your country

[Carlston]

USA? Ha to many to list.
We "think" we are the world police. But when theirs a problem if we don't do something no one else does and blames us.

We only care about oil and fastfood.
We destroy other countries, and the ones that say that only do so to get more aid to shut them up.

For some reason if the UN says we need to act with military it's 90 percent the US soldiers asses.

For city, it's houston Tx. 4million people and most retards think we only listen to country music, ride horses and go to rodeos.

Basically this for me, but I'm going to expand your houston stererotype to Texas lol

1. We do NOT all ride horses
2. not ALL of us own ranches
3. we do NOT wear 10 gallon hats and wear cowboy boots

San Antonio stereotypes: 1. we are all mexican, or have some form of hispanic heritage. which is blatantly false.
2. We know where the alamo is, and the names of all 100 some odd soldiers that died in the battle for said mission. I could point you in the direction of the alamo, but i can't tell you how to get there specifically, and William B. Travis...and thats it. lol

No worries my friend, just remember if you go overseas never say your a America, say your from Texas. They see you completely different. Navy days taught me that. Sometimes its good to leech of good will of the sterotype.

Country: New Zealand which has been well covered above (Sometimes the sheep just need help over the fence OK!)
City: Auckland meaning I'm a rich arrogant dickhead who takes more of the country's wealth than I deserve.

 

[Lordmarkus]

I'm from sweden.

I'm a girl.

The most commong questions I get when I say this are;
1. Are you blonde?
2. Do you have blue eyes?
3. Are your breasts big?

The swede-stereotype is a blonde bimbo basically. Bleh.

Damn, Ninja'd. Summed it up perfectly.

 

[AvsJoe]

Well, I've got a large Maltese background and a small Native Canadian background so I get ragged on a bit for those. I'm getting a bit annoyed of the "swimming Italian" and "Wagon Burner" comments, not to mention the more racially-insensitive ones.

 

[whattheblub]

As a german in england I'm quite often accused off being addicted to pornography and being a racist. The positive stereotypes are being always on time (not difficult in a country where people meet at half past eightish) and being very structured

 

[kiwisushi]

Sheep Sex.

Guess where I am from (hint: it isn't Wales)

New Zealand, the other country where sheep outnumber people!

 

[DocAscii]

We Canadians love when you Americans make fun of us.

South Park - Blame Canada....
The Simpsons get on a bus to Canada with a moose, a mountie and a hockey player...
Peter Griffin - The more you know.... - "Canada SUCKS!"

We probably laugh harder than you 'murrcans, no doot aboot it.


We got you back on Rick Mercer's "Talking to Americans" - Youtube that.

 

[FolkLikePanda]

We are posh snobs who eat crumpets (I hate crumpets! -.-)

 

[kiwisushi]

Country - the other sheep country that isn't New Zealand. Everyone works in a mine, they are all short, play rugby, hate england (for no real reason, seriously most Welsh don't have a clue why, and the reason is almost a 1000 years old even if they do!). All the men are called Dai.

Place - One of the poorest places in all of Europe! On Objective 1 funding. Rugby obsessed, capital hating place. Close to one of the highest areas in UK for teenage pregnancy. Mainly stupid "Valley people".

 

[TheGreatCoolEnergy]

Country: We got snow 24/7. And we bleed maple syurp.

You forgot that we are all polar bear riding lumber jacks(which isn't too far from the truth)
[sup]Canada FTW[/sup]

 

[Master Kuja]

I'm English.

Take your pick.

 

[RebelRising]

Stereotypes of the Russians (I'm sure somebody's done America already) are as follows:

-We are cold, soulless drones who exist only to populate the factories and to celebrate the one party in power. (We aren't cold or soulless)
-We are physically strong, almost to the point of invincibility (I know my great Aunt Luba was a hulk)
-We are heavy drinkers, and it's very ugly when we get especially drunk (yeah, okay, sort of true, but the English are even worse, in our defense)
-We aren't inquisitive or nosy (I don't know about this one, honestly)
-

I love Canada - I'm from Britain - I plan to move to your country when in a few years; it seems so much more awesome than America.


I'm from Scotland/England (It's messed up) so I guess I'm known for.... Violent.... tea?

 

[Snotnarok]

Me: Short white and pale, buzzed hair blue eyes kinda stocky. I guess the stereotype would be...racist? I hate racism so that's simply not true.

Country: United States- Everyone thinks we love war and hate other countries, I hate war and just have never been to another country, though I think england looks like a neat place to check out

State: NY, the stereotype is there's a big city with constant gunbattles and Bruce Willas driving around central park in a taxi full of bullet holes or something. I'm not in the city or very close to it, I live on an island that branches off the state in the suburbs. There's no gunbattles but one time a car crashed near my house, gasp excitement!

 

[Artina89]

Country: England, we all drink tea and love cricket.
City: Leeds, Yorkshire: We all have flat caps, own Whippets, love cricket, the highlight of the evening is that we play dominoes and drink tea so strong it can double as wallpaper stripper, we hate people from Lancashire and we are big promoters of common sense.

Well, since my mum comes from Lancashire, I don't hate people from there (it would be awkward if I did, lets face it), I hate dominoes, don't own a flat cap or a Whippet and I prefer coffee to tea and I don't have common sense. (I don't mind cricket though.)

 

[GrinningManiac]

I'm an odd mix of hyperactive, attention-seeking lunatic combined with a grumpy, frumpy old man who wears jumpers, misses the Empire, hates modern ways and listens to Classical and studies history

 

[Malari]

I do not consume tea like fuel. I don't eat crumpets. My girlfriend IS french. I'm not cockney. I don't even own a bowler hat or an umbrella. You won't find a picture of the Queen anywhere in my house. I'm not a pessimist or emotionally bankrupt. I don't enjoy queueing. I couldn't find football more boring.

Guess where I'm from.

 

[Holossus]

funny feather hats and
leather pants sauerkraut, weisswurst, beer and oktoberfest.

Sorry,
but that is Bavaria a small country between Germany and Austria.


I hate it when people think that Germany is like this.

I'm in the same boat as you guys, I'm from Houston.
Actual quote from a New Englander (These are other Americans!): "I could never live in Texas, I can't ride a horse."

On the fat note I can totally understand why people thing everyone in America is fat. I've seen people who have enough fat to make 3-4 people overweight.
