Your country's Stereotypes

[MrMorphumax]

Australia: Full of alcoholics, backwards, and racist. At least according to Sol Trujillo

 

[Furbyz]

Well I'm American and a Texan to boot so I guess I wear cowboy hat, boots, and love my guns in a more than platonic sense. Doesn't fit me personally but that does describe a substantial portion of the population.

Oh also incredibly racist.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Finland.

Stoic, drunk and cold.

 

[GenericAmerican]

Double post...I think, wait how did this end up the first one?

 

[GenericAmerican]

American...to lazy to even type a proper response to this thread

 

[cryogeist]

America: Fat, loud, annoying, arrogant, stupid xenophobes.

..what he said

 

[Aiden_the-Joker1]

Angry, Violent, ginger, eats sheep organs, wears a kilt...... yes you guessed it Italian.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Well that Depends, Americans are either depicted as...

America A: "WE ARE THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD! NOW STOP TRYING TO RUIN OUR HEALTHCARE WITH YOUR CRAZY SOCIALIST AGENDA YOU FREEDOM HATING NAZI COMMIES!"

Or America B: "Ah duuuuuuuuuuude, the war in Iraq is, like, totally wrong man! Anyone know where I can buy a Che Guevera T-shirt and, like, protest n' stuff?"

Most countries either see us as crazy ultra conservatives or "Hollywood Liberals"

I'd ditch that B opinion completely.

Norway:

According to the internet we always wear horned helmets, wear leather fur vests, drink a lot, live in longboats, pillage England, have long beards, we're tall and have dashingly good looks and we're silent.

Eh, sure. Why not.

 

[BENZOOKA]

Australia: "G'day Mate! Welcome ta Oostralia! How's the shelia doin'? Ya wanna head down ta da pub 'n grab a couple 'a VB?" Also, all Australians have kangaroos in their backyard, ride their emu to work, and are variations of Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Hunter, or Kath and Kim.

The drop bears are real, though.

I missed the ending " and kept on reading with an Australian accent even after that post. You can't believe Bruce, the horror.

 

[Mariner]

Apparently all Koreans are red and are murderous sociopaths

Heh.

Oh, is it just me, or does everyone say "ass" instead of "arse" nowdays, not just Americans?

Im American, but all the stereotypes have been said already. Well, most of the mainstream ones anyway. For me, the most amusing stereotypes about America come out of Japan:

All females are blond and have huge racks, and all males are either big and muscular like Guile from Street Fighter, or big and fat, like Rufus from Street Fighter. Also Americans usually wear sunglasses, have crosses around their necks, or has an American flag tattoo somewhere or wears an American flag on their head. And sometimes all of the above; see Bandit Keith from Yugioh.

And of course, every American owns a gun, has it on them at all times, and will shoot you without hesitation if you so much as breath the same air as them.

I've always thought arse is just a homophone. And newer. And made up.

 

[Watchmacallit]

Australia.

BBQs.
Beer.
Blue singlets.
Holdens.
People riding in kangaroos.

America: I'm pretty sure all of you know the stereotypes.

Nah, it's been around for awhile, presumably due to people saying the same thing but with different accents, but the American one seems to be dominant nowdays.
