California. Seems like people believe we're all surfer dudes with waist long blonde hair and ripped bodies while wearing only flip-flops and swim trunks. Also that we're one of the most liberal people in the US.
To be more pinpointed: Southern California. We're nasty, mean, gang-bred bastards that will tear out eyes. This is from Northern California people.
Though I'm glad I haven't been asked if I ever owned a surf board.

Amen to that. I live in Alabama, and so many of my friends from out of state ask me why I don't drive a jacked-up truck instead of my Ford Escape. I also don't live on a farm (though my grandfather owns one) and I don't think my accent is that terrible.ToonLink said:
Don't get me wrong though, I definitely know several people who do their best to reinforce "Southern redneck" stereotypes. And I do admit that I enjoy fried foods every now and then, but that's about as far as the stereotype goes for me.
Every Dutch(wo)man owns a pair of wooden shoes and lives in a mill. Ow and we use drugs all the time.
Can't shake the feeling that should the third one ever become a reality, well the first and second probably wouldn't stay far behind

As mexicans, we are prone to get involved in gang activity, fail at having a successful future educational-wise, quite "ghetto", and hate every other minority.
These are our stereotypes, and sadly a large percentage of my ethnicity do carry out those stereotypes I mentioned.

Actually, when I was younger I was told that Seattle was the gay capital of the US.Sahasrahla said:
With Australia, I will leave *some* populations out of this.
For the main Australia the stereotype is that I drink lots of beer (hate the taste), love my sport (bores me), lazy (maybe some truth there), tanned (I am a ginger, tanning is stupid) and live in the isolated Outback (the majority leave close to the coast, I am not an exception). Oh and speak in heavily-slang speech. Now with that, I attempt to speak somewhat formally in everyday life.
Believe me, the Australian stereotype is one of the least true to the reality.

Norwegian, well for the girls at least, they're tall blond hotties with blue eyes (Not far from the truth... makes blond girls normal and boring).
Men are mostly just blond guys with blue eyes.
I don't really know any more stereotypes than that... well we do drink oil.

Hahahaha. Yes ive heard that Alberta is the texas of canada. thats just mean.Lullabye said:
Ontario: So far all ive heard is that we are dicks. especially toronto, seeing as its "dick central" (so sayeth a quebeccer.)
Well, as a Finn, I am obviously an alcoholic who has problems with small talk and expressing his emotions. Thus I drink more booze and end up fighting a complete stranger and probably stabbing the poor bugger to death. Furthermore, I live in the middle of a forest.
England: drink tea, talk posh, stiff upper lip, can't handle their drink, in love with the Queen.....etc
Grimsby (my birth town): Chavs, obsessed with fish (its a fishing town although the fish is good cause its fresh), called (rather unaffectionately) Cod heads.
Side note: Im not a chav and i dont like cod (although the haddock is better there cause its fresh)

Well, i am from a small town about 80 miles west of Albany, NY. Nobody is going to know it or anything else nearby by name, so when i am asked where I am from I just say "New York." The person I am talking to never fails to say something like "Oh, you're a city kid, huh?"
No jackass, i am not from the city. There is a whole damn state called New York. People never even get the chance to form stereotypes about the place I am from, they have to be reminded that it even exists.
