Your country's Stereotypes

[Outright Villainy]

Cork: ... Bunch of dumb pricks who think they are hard? I don't know. Everyone who is not from here pretty much agrees it's a shithole, though.

The stereotype of cork would be that they think they're a country onto themselves.
People's republic of cork and all that.

Also, much more commonly: "Boy!"

That's not even a stereotype though, everyone I've ever met from Cork appends every sentence with "boy."

 

[Jon Shannow]

Scotland: So racist, alcoholic, drug-addicted, violent, unhealthy, ginger people
well i have at least 3 of those ticked

 

[Dancingman]

America: Awesome, the best at everything, amazing, hilarious, god-like, and patriotic.

I think he means how other places stereotype the country.

Actually it's an older stereotype but it applies, read the Eagleland article on TV Tropes, that goes under Flavor 1 with America as the paradise of prosperity, freedom, and traditional family values.

Now back on topic:

According to stereotypes...

I should be fat, lazy, boorish, and rude. I am little more than a bully who hides behind his big military and "world power" status to compensate for his nation's shortcomings. My own arrogance and flaws are exaggerated so as to allow other nations to play up their own historical preconceptions of their superiority and/or take out severe jealousy issues when in reality everyone's got different strengths, weaknesses and flaws despite whoever's "in charge" at the time.

Author Tract? Yes. Do I care? Not particularly.

English posh tea drinkers, or english cockney tea drinkers.

Norwich - Full of farmers and incest...lovely. First one is partly true though.

Sweden: Does anyone really care? Well ill give it a shot.. Boring and.. Secular?

I spent part of this past summer in Tanzania[footnote]Prettiest. Country. Ever.[/footnote], and apparently, it's a fairly common belief that most Americans are cowboys, regardless of whether or not you even live in the south west.

To be fair to African people, though, most of my relatives, when I told them where I was going, assumed I'd be staying in a mud hut dodging lions the whole time I was there. The first day we got to the host family's house, their kids were sitting on the sofa playing Halo.[footnote]The first Halo, on an original XBox. "Oh God! How do people live like this!?"[/footnote]

Wales - we shag Sheep, lots of Sheep; we're covered in mountains and it always rains.

 

[emion]

I think the majority of what I know about Swedish people is based on what I've seen of Skwisgar on Metalocalypse....


So... You like old people?

 

[Marmal4de]

Israel: I suppose a lot of people think we live in tents and ride around on camels. This is a fun stereotype to take advantage of when on Xbox Live with a group of Israelis. For some reason though a lot of people assume we're mexican when we speak in Hebrew.

Also, I live in Tel-Aviv which in Israel is stereotyped as being the most secular, materialistic, left wing, draft dodging, artsy-fartsy-est place around, Which is not far from the truth.

Have you ever actually watched the show Metalocalypse? If not, I sort of feel like a tool right now.

Also, that is not Skwisgar's worst moment... Not by a lot.

Scotland: Ginger, obese (second fattest country in the world, bitches!), racist, vulgar, alcoholic, stab happy, skirt wearers with a bad taste in music.

Edinburgh: The Southern English people of Scotland i.e middle class worry warts with a fetish for organic produce.

FUN FACT! At the weekend, this crazy dude from Leith smashed up one of my local pubs with an axe whilst pissed as a fart, purely for the banter.

So the Scottish bit is not so much stereotype, as truth.

Spoiler: Billy Connoly's got the right idea

 

[Jonluw]

I'm Norwegian, so...
I drink coffee (I do)
I am emotionally cold and don't like being touched (true)
Edit: Also, I'm tall and sexy as hell.

...

Seriously, are there any stereotypes surrounding Norwegian people at all?

 

[rokkolpo]

The netherlands: everyone is perpetually stoned, homosexual, and the only socially acceptable footwear is clogs. We also live in windmills rather than normal houses. Not sure if there's anything else.

We're also greedy bastards.
