[darkless]

I'm Irish so I:

1. Am an alcoholic - Nope I drink once a month sometimes twice but that's it really

2. I'm really violent - Nope I don't know any violent people.

3. Beat my wife - I'm not married but if i was i wouldn't beat her.

4. Use horse drawn carriages to get around - For the love of god no we own cars people cut that crap out of your movies!

5. Live in a caravan - Another movie one Hollywood does realize that's a minority right?

6. Talk like Colin Farrell - Not even Colin Farrell talks like that away from his fans.

7. greet people with "Top O The mornin' to ya" - Never in my life have i heard i irish person say that.

8. Look like a leprechaun - I'm 5'8 with dark brown hair and i never wear green get over it leprechauns are fake...although one of my friends does look one ALSO for thoughs of you seeing the word its pronounced Lep-re-caun.

9. Be a farmer - I've only ever been to one farm and it was in primary school.

10. Oh, If we don't talk like Colin Farrell we have that annoying accent that no-one understands I'm certain when at an Irish event sky news actively seek those people out to interview them and skip past the hundreds of Irish people who talk normally.

I could continue that list but that's all I can remember I'm sure there are more though.

EDIT: 11. Must hate the british - I got nothing against them they are pretty nice.

 

[curlycrouton]

I'm from England. I drink lots of tea, eat plenty of crumpets and say things like 'spiffing'.

Actually, I'm not joking.

As do I. Well I tend to say "marvellous", but it's basically the same thing.

 

[Symp4thy]

I'm Polish - my submarines have screen doors.

But seriously, can anyone tell me why the "Poles are stupid" stereotype exists?

 

[ace_of_something]

I am tall; (6'5" or 6'6")
If i played it sport it was probably basketball or volleyball (nope hockey)
I must be dumb.
I must be violent (cross the street when you see me)

My grandparents were from Norway and we maintain a strong identification with this;
I must be violent
We still worship Norse gods (although my first name does not help in this case)
I must love to eat fish (okay I do...)
Physically I fit the stereotype though, tall, blue eyes, blonde hair. But I am fairly tan and have no Beard!
I have been asked point blank several times when someone reads my name "Are you a viking?" I typically respond "In the Midwest?"

I have actually been to Europe and Asia I can say the two have different sets stereotypes:

the European consensus on Americans;
Idiots
Ignorant to other cultures
Rude and Loud
Ill tempered
religious zealots
we all own and love guns
violent
and to me the most inexplicable one when watching European TV given all of the above; Americans are very very friendly, like annoyingly and naively friendly.

Asian stereotypes of Americans;
Very Rude
Wealthy
we are all obsessed with cars
we are prudes
Guns are plentiful and available like in vending machines or something
and that we're all giant (me being 6'5" did not help this)

I dont say stuff like 'Spiffing'.
Im quiet and dont dress like a rainbow so I must be emo. No.

[HydraZulu]

I can't think of enough stereotypes right now (i'm tired, didn't sleep well lately), so how about I post what I am, somebody else post the stereotypes, and i'll answer them. Here we go:

Bird lover
Reptile lover (especially snakes)
Geek
17
American
Minnesotan
ADHD

That's enough for now. Let's see what i get.
(This is gonna be good, i can feel it.)

 

[mattttherman3]

Gangster stereotype-it exists, i have seen it
Homosexual stereotype- it exists ive seen 2 fat chicks make out n say stuff that should not be said in public, and ive seen the stereotypical gay man with the kind of lisp thing

arabic stereotype- they smell, yes they do, i got an arab friend and whenever we hang out hes the one that has a peculiar smell, its not overwhelming however

Jewish stereotypes, i have seen jewish people that are great with money or that are monet pinchers, b4 the economic crisis

 

[Grimmory]

I'm from North Carolina (below the bible belt) so I must:

-Have a confederate flag flying outside my house
-Know how to play the banjo
-have three teeth to my name
-speak in an unintelligable drawl
-hunt for deer on the weekends with a shotgun
-being female, my name must consist of two names (Mary-Beth, Betty-Ann)
-find anyone not willing to accept Jesus Christ as their lord and savior a digusting heathen
-my only hope of a husband is my cousin Billy Bob

Oh the list goes on and on, and yet none of them are true or even come close to applying to me

 

[mattttherman3]

my stereotype being a canadian, people assume i live in an igloo or that i speak french

 

[Combined]

I'm Lithuanian.

So, let's get started, then.

I'm a drunkard. (I may drink whiskey, but I rarely ever get drunk.)
I'm tall. (Yes.)
I am racist. (No.)
I am Nationalistic. (...Alright, I'm guilty of that one.)
I hate Russians, Jews, Poles and Germans. (I only dislike them.)
I hate (I think they call themselves this these days) Roma. (Only most of the ones here.)
I'm stupid. (That's for you to decide. I'd rather not evaluate my intelligence myself.)
I'm fit to work only the hardest jobs. (Not true, but I would work one.)
Am a cynic. (Yes.)
Skeptical about any government. (Yes.)
Speak Russian. (Nope.)
Despise communism and communists. (Yes, but communists I only dislike if they're fierce.)
Live in a tent of leaves and drink water from a river. (Oh, come on. No.)
Don't know how to use anything that's in a bathroom. (Of course I do.)
Spend a lot of time with prostitutes. (No.)
I allow myself to be controlled easily. (No.)
I am a Slav. (No. I'm a Balt.)
I live in Africa, sine Lithuania is in Africa. (No. It's in Northern Europe.)
I'm either Pagan or Roman Catholic. (No, I'm not very religious. Wouldn't actually know where to begin with a pagan religion.)
Must play basketball well. (I suck.)
We're a part of Russia. (NO.)
The "Klaipėda" (Memel) region belongs to Germany. (No.)
I'm a bandit. (No. I'm a law abiding ex-embassy guard.)
