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.

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.Lullabye said:Somehow? You really don't know why?EClaris said:And somehow we're also lumped in with being uber patriotic.
Canadian: Nice, maple syrup loving lumberjacks with adorable accents. How did we get such an awesome stereotype?

Alberta:Read the Texas op above.
You forgot that you all live in the swamp and eat whatever dead animal you happen upon on the road.Xyphon said:Louisiana stereotypes that I know of are that we are all uneducated, inbred, racist and we all own guns.
I feel your pain friend.RedMenace said:Same here.EcksTeaSea said: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.
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...
Detroit and the metro area is way better than any stinky city in Ohio OR Wisconsin. We produce rich, interesting characters.hotacidbath said:Hahaha, I think every town motto should be "at least we're not Detroit."
Blasphemy I <3 meat, every major meal I have its at least 75% meat.]Truehare said: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.Slavik_91 said:^this mostlyTruehare said: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...
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
You konw, it really is weird talking to a fellow Brazilian in English...
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 hahaFolkLikePanda said:Everyone not from the Midlands thinks us Yamyams are Brummines, BASTARDS!
It in't in t' tin!Sebenko said:Ah tell thee, it's trouble up't mill they allus expect. I do live on a farm though, and have tractors.TomBizz said: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)
And fish and chips is the food of the gods.
