I'm a strong-blooded Russian who's a bit on the scrawny side and is a very light drinker. On the other hand, I love (most) of the Motherland's leaders. I'm also part-Jewish, and that's apparently where my cheapness and unruly hair comes from.
This reminds me: I know a bookish Asian girl who absolutely hates math and computers, is very talkative, and is fluent in Hebrew. Aside from her dimunuitive stature, she's pretty much the anti-stereotype.

I don't see where the whole English tea thing came from. Especially since (true fact) Ireland is the biggest tea drinking country in the world.
I think stereotypes usually come from when people go somewhere meet only a certain type of person. For example if you went to Ireland and only met a drunk stupid farmer you couldn't be blamed for thinking that that was the main type of person living there.

Don't stereotype a country you don't know.Cliff_m85 said:
I admit some Irish are heavy drinkers but stick to the country you are from and there are immigrants from Ireland all around the world.
Not being offensive or anything but England has the highest underage drinking in Europe. While alcoholism is a problem in Ireland it's a problem everywhere. People in Ireland are more inclined to drink but less inclined to get pissed then a lot of people think. Also in Family Guy they have references to people beating there wives in Ireland. I don't know where the hell they got that but it's definately not true.
Yea I'm 1/2 Irish, 1/4 German, and 1/4 Scottish. If it weren't for my inherent logic and intelligence keeping me going, I would have succumbed to rage and booze long ago XPsky14kemea said:i love that episode XDG1eet said:
im quarter scottish, and im pretty laid back, but when im mad i go nuts :O so maybe there's a tiny bit of truth to it?
the rest of me is english though, and although i do like tea i rarely drink it, and i dont wear a monocle or a top hat =[ which is a shame
Oh, and the promise of new Futurama episodes doesn't hurt.
I don't like stereotypes either but as someone who worked in a bar for quite a few years I can categorically say that Jews (and blacks) don't usually tip.ElephantGuts said:
That said, the ones who do tip acknowledge this fact and try to make up for it by tipping really generously. So always give a black or a jew good service because they might be one of the tippers.
Same thing with white people and dancing, the few who can dance, dance very well.
Also, as someone who has lived in the middle of the highest concentration of Asians in NYC, they really are the worst drivers. I've been all around the world and its the only place I've ever been hit by a car and it's always happened on the sidewalk.
Sorry my post is about stereotypes that are right.
