What's the swedish stereotype now again?
only ones I can think of hearing involve clocks, knives, peeing on fish before eating it raw, and airport security that speaks every language ever invented fluently.. oh and being neutral in all things..

other than that its 6ft tall blonds with a rack a viking could land a long boat on.

I was born and raised in Scotland...Isle Skye to be exact

our mothers teat contains no milk, only whiskey
A head butt show affection
Violence is fore play ( partly true)
We aw gab loch thes, an' say random things loch: "Ah couldnae care a docken"
we believe in nessy, rather than use it to take the money from English, American, Canadian, and Australian tourists. ;P " shhhhhhhhhh I didn't let the secret slip.. got it?"

then again I spent most of mid childhood going nation to nation because of my Fathers work, so I've lived " for even just a year or so" in France, germany, Japan, then going back to SCO for Uni, then to the States.....so I guess I've adopted some stereotypes from all over

I'm a lesbian, a woman, an American, a college student, I was raised on a farm...

And yet all that is overridden by my nerd and misanthrope statuses and boy, do I live up to stereotypes on THOSE. One day, I will rise up and devour the sun people... but for now, my monitor is too glowy.

you know, I catch alot of flack in that department... I don't see gender, ( mistaken for BI, but thats an understandable split in philosophy I think) so I have chased my share of women.. but that means that:

Im a feminist " which in truth I'll say women's lib as it eventually transformed into did more to damage us women, and really disdain how people can use that as a weapon in our so. easy to twist legal system.

I still dress, and act pretty feminine ( well, dress...yes, act...nagh raised with all boys my whole life) so that means A) I MUST like butch girls ( not my type but have friends who are) or B) am a fad lesbian ( which tends to come from the more...aggressive gay rights type)


Automatically assumes I'm Pro-everything and all things " considered far left" and want to march, and riot and protest is someone so much as sneezes wrong.
( two sides to this actually)
I actually don't.....at all....I don't honestly care, I'm of the " thats life, do what you need to do, do your best, work hard, be a good person, but stand up for yourself in honourable ways" sorta gal.... and you know what.. it's never failed me once in my life.

but on the other side because I DONT ( im a traitor to " the movement" ) and such

beating a dead horse does nothing more than keep the flies in motion.

I can go on, and on and on... most of the ones not listed I never noticed or never expeienced

Im black so ive heard just about everything I have about what I should be into and what I shouldnt.

1. Not all of us are uneducated spread our legs and have many babies by different men.
2. Yes I know how to speak English proper and otherwise
3. Yes im a female and like gaming, indie alternative and rock music never was a huge rap fan past the late 80's with a few exceptions.
4. Do not feel that I have to date anyone inside my race to validate them if a man wants to be validate he should do it himself.
5. wear my hair the way I feel like wearing it, if I want braids I wear it I have good hair and it didnt come from mixing it came from taking care of it.
6. I am not a good dancer never have never will be got two left feet for sure :)
7. Never have had a criminal record and do not know what the inside of a jail (outside of tv) looks like.

I could go on and on but I think you get the jist, I still get a laugh when people find out what race/gender I am and think "how arent your types supposed to not like this stuff?" and I wonder if they mean my gender or both. *shrugs* I think people who focus on sterotypes instead of getting to know a person arent worth getting up in arms about. My favorite saying is I have plenty of reason to hate people outside superficial things like race and perceived stereotypes.

I'm Welsh...so far only 3 of us!
So...

I like to hump Sheep...No, not really.

I'm English...No, there is a difference - When some of you American lot say something along the lines of "Where in England is that", I respond with "What part of Mexico is *insert their location*" or something along those lines.

Talk like a valleys boy rolling of the R's and such - Occasionally when I am back up there, or get drunk.

Hate the English. I hate most things :p

Like rugby, hand you that one.

I'm not in a male voice choir.

I haven't got any leeks or Daff's in my garden.

Add "like" and "isn't it" at the end of everything...Ok sometimes >.<

Can't think of any more but that's one for the Boyo's!

I'm British so I must drink a lot of tea (False: I prefer coffee), eat mini-sandwiches and crumpets as I do so (False) while speaking in a posh voice (True, Buckinghamshire accents are posh apparently) using words such as 'bugger' and 'pillock' to avoid vulgar curse words (False: Fuck, shit, **** etc.).

I'm a Goth so I must wear only black (False), crucifixes and coloured nail polish (False), write depressing poetry about how much my life sucks (Yes to the poetry but not about how my life sucks, I'm actually quite peppy) and have very few friends (True, only three people I'd call close friends.)

I'm gay so I must speak with a lisp 'Dahling you look gorgeous todhay!' (Semi-true, but that's because I have an actual lisp), want to be a fashion/interior designer when I grow up (False, but I wanna be a nurse so... I guess that's pretty gay), flounce my way around (True), have lots of gay sex with men I meet in clubs (False, never even been to a club and I'm hardly promiscuous) and lastly, I must be terrible in a fight. (False, and I'll knock your teeth out to prove it if you like.)

and say things like 'spiffing'.
I'm English and I say spiffing a lot to be ironic, but I actually like using the word too.

OT:
I'm English so I apparently:

Salute the Queen at every opportunity
Call all American traitors to the crown
Love tea (I despise the stuff, I prefer coffee) and crumpets
Am a Chav
Am pregnant

What's the stereotype for Welsh people?

We shag sheep, can't speak without getting spit everywhere and we're all incredibly big fans of rugby.

It's all, of course, bollocks. Doesn't stop someone from time to time saying we're all like that, though.

I'm an Australian, therefore according to the American public I must have a fat beer gut, have corks on my straw hat, drink emu export beer while sitting on the veranda overlooking my farm shouting Mate this and Mate that in a voice like a broken motor and cursing the dirty pommy bastards and hating black people.

None of these are true, I have no corked hat, I'm fat sure but not THAT fat, I don't have a farm, I don't drink, I never say mate and I don't hate English people. Hell I'm friends with English people. I'm pretty sure I don't hate black people either as I have semi regular sex with a black girl (girl friend or friend I have sex with? Haven't a clue) and she and I get along pretty well.

I hate my stereotype.

What's the finnish stereotype?
All I can think of is that apparently we drink a lot (not true for me) and that we don't talk much and are not very polite (the first part is somewhat true for me).

Being Dutch, I wear shoes made out of cheese, I have windmills that grinds up weed which is operated by hookers, and I smoke tulips on a daily basis.

Actually a lot of international people (South Africans the most) I've met attach the Sheep-Shagging stereotype to us Aussies, I have to immediately correct them.
As someone born in Wales, I feel insulted. You've stolen our stereotyped image.

I grew up in England though, and I'm not aware of any stereotyping so far. Feel free to post some though and I'll tell you if they're true.
