Sweden: All women are blondes with big melons as tits, we ride polar bears, we have snow the whole year around, and we talk like we're retarded. One of these I wish were true, guess which one.
Ya know, everyone keeps talking about Americans making stereotypes but I mean it goes both ways. I'm from the South--specifically and sadly Oklahoma--and everyone assumes I live in a TeePee, have low iq, and marry my cousin. But then again about 50 percent of people that make those assumptions are Americans.
I try not to be make stereotypes to anyone I meet on XBoxLive but sometimes...example...I once joined a match of Modern Warfare 2. There were two teams going on Team America and Team Brit and both sides were equally rude. Thinking to do lighten the mood I said I was Team Asia...that did not go down well at all let me tell you...Guess I am saying is don't lump all the stereotype making biz on Americans, it goes both ways.
EDIT: I m a first Generation American--Im Korean- so I mean we all know the stereotypes thats gonna get me. Namely, that I am Chinese and have tiny penis, I also eat dog. Can't drive, Um and I can do karate.

I have convinced people I ride a polar bear to school (they have a separate parking lot from the dog sleds so they don't eat them), my mother is a lumberjack (my great-grandfather was one, actually), and I couldn't hear them due to the sounds of a blizzard outside. Fotunately, my Canucks sweater kept me warm in my igloo.
It's fun messing with people (eh).

Then I refuse to believe you are from texas!DanielPowell33 said:
I'm British and yes at this moment I have a cup of tea and I am listening to the national anthem and when this is posted, I will salute my portraite of the Queen. Tally Ho chaps!
Actually our government is quite competent I must say, the things you see with the firewall and Atkinson are simply isolated examples. Besides the issue with elitism and classist attitudes in our prime minister - the Australian government isn't too bad. It could definitely be much, much worse.Sebenko said:
1. Americans are the only ones who make stereotypes about other countries.
2. Americans are fat.
3. We think we're better than everyone else.
[sub]Do I have to proclaim my sarcasm for that last part or do we all get it?[/sub]

Well, the kid's from the southern US, what do you expect?elementsoul said:

Not really. I was kinda being sarcastic on that end. But ironically, had a foreign exchange student a few years back who was swedish, had tits so big I bet she has back problems, loved the snow and had the whole retarded thing going on. Oh how I do love walking stereotypes.Arkhangelsk said:
Who would want to live in a country where every woman is way out of their league? Saddle up your polar bears boys!
And yes of course people like to believe americans are idiots, news broadcasters edit, snip, and shave away at clips of us americans to make us all appear like utter morons. that's what gets them ratings, "ha ha, lets all watch the stupid americans!" because of this I find british players insufferable for this, and I refuse to play with most of them.
I feel sorry for australian gamers because they must deal with an overruling government that limits the games they can access, I also know they do have wide spawling cities and wonder why everyone being descended from convicts appears to be such an issue? Say I was related to Jack The Ripper, I havent gone out mercilessly slaughtering hookers have I?

XBL sums up the intelligence of America nicely. Its the 10% that aren't as retarded keep this country moving.LooK iTz Jinjo said:
Well, since I'm from Birmingham, UK, everyone assumes I say "YAM ROOOOYT LOOOYKE, FROM BIRRRRMINGUM I AM! TARAAA BIT MAYTE!" when in fact, only 1 particular area in the whole of Birmingham speaks like that. Drives me up the fucking wall.
Oh that, and my Xbox live Gamertag doesn't actually contain my name (I know, weird right?... -_-) and I was on Nazi Zombies with 3 Americans guys that were convinced my name was Sam because they had not heard the name Liam before. I had to spell it out for them, and one of them actually said "....Dude, is that even real?".
Priceless.
