Kansas, U.S.: Early 20th Century-style Fundamentalist Christianity. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamentalism#Christian_Fundamentalism_Today] I shall say no more.
Oh, wait. There's more: Wherever I go, no lie, people ask me if I've, "got that thar electricity."
Here's the one I can't stand. Corn.
I feel better.

That stereotype has no basis, people! I've been all over Kansas and I can conclusively say there is not a single cornfield! Stop making shit up, people! Where did anyone get that idea?! It's Nebraska that has all the corn!
I know, I've been there.

We play hahd, we play at the pahk. Then we go to Duncan Donuts, get a lahge coffee. And when our sport teams win, we drink and get violent.
Truth be told, that's only Boston. The rest of MA isn't really like that.

also i thought south virginia had more of a yuppie sterotype (at least here in maryland it does)
England:
Tea swilling, royal obsessed, fish and chip eating posh types. Basically the entire cast of every single british rom-com in existence and that's pretty much what everyone think the English should be.
And where I was born...
Essex, England: Bleach blonde, white stiletto wearing, loose of knicker and moral type women with voices that could make nails on a chalk board sound like the Kings Choir. Generally thought to be thicker than the thickest pair of length impaired planks in the known universe.

Any ways, I'm from Missouri, and every one else in the united states thinks were hill billies, but I have yet I don't see a single hill for miles were I live, and we don't have southern accents (accept the southern Missourians, there are hill billies, across the Missouri river you will find them, they all voted for Bush TWICE) and for me and and every one here north of the Missouri river, find it EXTREMELY annoying when people go out and call Missouri "Missour-UH".
Also, Canadians, we don't use a lot of the stereo types that you think we do here in the US.
Only stereo types ever used - Bacon, and nobody cares about Canada. (also annoying geese that take shits all over the side walk come from their) and some times considered the 51st state
the Syrup thing is saved for OUR OWN states, like Vermont, and Maine.
Accent stereo types have since been diminished from civilized places in the US, we think you sound like us, (of course English speaking Canadians I mean.. not French) unless thats a stereo type. I can attest to at least a few people having the same accent, seeing as my month long stay in Victoria Canada, I heard not one Canadian with a stereo typical accent, they all sounded American.
The accent now is attributed to people in Wisconsin..
"Mini-America, except we have never fought in any war, have no military, and are Communists, who also live in Igloos and ride dogsleds, sell furs, speak French, have Terrorists every square kilometer, and always have snow."
I have never once heard any of those stereo types (in the US at least). The closest stereo type would be, Canada = America or Canada part of America, which in their selves are jokes, not stereo types.
I live in Georgia in the Southern United State, so I have the same problemToonLink said:
Everyone thinks that I am racist (my use of racial slurs doesn't help my case AT ALL), talk like an inbred hick, AM an inbred hick, chew tobacco (I do smoke a corn-cob pipe. I like it because its cheap so i wont be mad if it gets broken), drink moonshine, play a banjo, drive a big-ass pickup truck with an even bigger confederate flag on it (I drive a decade-old hatch-back Honda Civic), I am a bible thumping nutcase (I am actually an atheist), and I carry a pistol everywhere.
Actually, the only reason that is not true is because I don't have the money for one.
Contrary to popular belief, not all Germans are Bavarians. For example, right now I'm not wearing lederhosen, I'm not eating bratwurst, sauerkraut or pretzels, and I'm not in the process of chugging down huge quantities of beer (although I wouldn't complain about the last part).
I'm German and Irish. I'm also from a crappy town with A-Hole kids who don't stop with the Nazi and drinking jokes.
