Apparently coming from northern California, I am a gay, hippie, stoner who cares more about animal rights than people, and and have met many actors.

Only the last part is true.

And somehow we're also lumped in with being uber patriotic.
Somehow? You really don't know why?

Canadian: Nice, maple syrup loving lumberjacks with adorable accents. How did we get such an awesome stereotype?
more specific......
Alberta:Read the Texas op above.
Go Canada!!!! I have no real idea how we got this stereotype. I wrote a report once on how more violent sports like MMA thrive and are statistically most popular in Canada as compared to other countries. Also we kicked ass in WWI. I love how Canada is stereotyped as nice and we can be tough as hell too.

America, Canada, America, Texas, Texas, Virginia...

What a pathetically balanced world.

New Zealand: We fuck sheep, we have sheep, we're attracted to sheep, we get drunk then fuck sheep, we have too many sheep, we're environmentally friendly, and we're all 'kiwis'.

I don't fit any stereotypes, by the look of it...

UPON OPENING THIS TOPIC, THERE WERE THREE TOPICS IN THAT 5-TOPIC THINGIE THAT HAD 222 POSTS.

Louisiana stereotypes that I know of are that we are all uneducated, inbred, racist and we all own guns.
You forgot that you all live in the swamp and eat whatever dead animal you happen upon on the road.

Although I did know a swampy Lousianian who ate some nasty shit. Racoon is horrible as food btw.

Southern California. In a small surf town on the beach. Apparently we're all dumb blond guys who do nothing but surf all day, every day. Please... I snowboard.

Norway: We're expected to be tall, blond, blue eyes and LOVE fish... to eat.
(I don't fit the stereotype that well, my hair is brown/dirty blond, dark brown eyes, a centimeter above average height, and I think fish is okay...to EAT!)
We're also rumored to love skiing (wich is often true), walks in the wild (wich is true when we go to the mountains) and drink like vikings=drunken idiots (Wich is definetly true as long as it's not about our religious fanatics)

Russia. We are either all drunks or Communists or hell both. Anytime I tell someone I am Russian they are either tell me I am a Commie bastard or I like to drink vodka nonstop.
Same here.

If you are Russian - you like to drink, you have a big fuzzy beard, you wear square fur hat, you are a communist, you are a techie or a cabie, you can barely speak English, you are Jewish.

<Looks at the empty bear bottles in the bin, the fur hat on the hanger, the CS degree on the wall, and a beard (Riker stile) on his face>

Ughhhhh... Well, at least I'm not a communist, my beard is not fuzzy, I'm not Jewish, and my English is good... I'll go sit in the dark corner...
I feel your pain friend.

As much as I'd like to get into the stereotypes of the people here, I'd probably get punished by the mods for "racism", even though the stereotypes, as negative as they are, are unfortunately true. At least in my experience.

Hahaha, I think every town motto should be "at least we're not Detroit."
Detroit and the metro area is way better than any stinky city in Ohio OR Wisconsin. We produce rich, interesting characters. :p

I'm from Brazil, but I don't really like samba (not what's being sold as samba nowadays, anyway) or soccer. And today is the first day after Carnaval, and it will be the first day in a week I'll go out, because I just can't stand Carnaval...
^this mostly

Though people don't ask if I have a lion for a pet since I live on one of those big cities (Porto Alegre btw, means happy docks or something) that no1 outside of the country knows for not having enough naked ladies or an army of drug dealers like São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro
Yeah, but I bet people from other states are really surprised to learn that you don't eat barbeque for every meal of the day... And if you tell me you don't even like barbeque, I'll be shocked too. :)

You konw, it really is weird talking to a fellow Brazilian in English...
Blasphemy I <3 meat, every major meal I have its at least 75% meat.]

And tbh I have trouble talking in portuguese through the internet most of the time lol

Everyone not from the Midlands thinks us Yamyams are Brummines, BASTARDS!
What's the big deal with that!? I'm from Staffordshire and I sound nothing like a Brummie! Yet the second I tell someone I'm from Cannock I get dubbed a Yamyam ¬_¬ I've never once said "Y'allright amya?" unlike my grandad does haha

Liverpool, England. We all have terrible perms, wear track suits all the time, live off benefits, mug people, steal anything that isn't bolted down and would sell our own mothers if we thought she would go for a high enough price. Oh and let's not forget that we all have this terrible high pitched voice and all we say is "calm down kidda".

I hate stereotypes.

sit in a palace sipping tea from china cups, with a waitor serving us cucumber sandwitches and chucking lightly and saying "quite!" in a posh accent.
Go England!

Mexican and the stereotype is that we all are farmers with big sombreros drink tequila and live in a small town which is surrounded by desert which I may say it's completely ridiculous because you know Mèxico city is one of the biggest cities in the world and also there is only in the north but even then there is only one big desert which is the Sonora desert also I only wear the sombrero 1 or twice a year and am not poor nor a farmer although my sombrero is still awesoem is like twice my size :D
and there are a ton more cliches that I didn't go over like how we are kinda like cowboys according to movies made in the U.S. (I refuse to just call it America cause it sounds like I'm talking about the whole continent)

England, so far the tea and bad teeth thing has been covered. One major factor missing so far is that our diet is made up completely of fish and chips, and possibly roast dinners (I am pretty fond of both tbh)

More specifically, yorkshire : Everyone expects me to work on a farm/Own my own tractor (which would be awesome)
Ah tell thee, it's trouble up't mill they allus expect. I do live on a farm though, and have tractors.

And fish and chips is the food of the gods.
It in't in t' tin!
