Wikipedia's Huge List Of Stereotypes

[Explode]

I found a huge list of stereotypes on Wikipedia. I always find it funny to look up my own stereotypes to see how accurately they got it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Grue/Lis...nic_stereotypes Comments? By the way don't blame me for being offended. Read at your own risk.

I love how theres nothing positive on there.

Sure there is. British Columbians -Half of them are Asian -Are sports mad -Everyone who works at the ski resorts are Australian -tall -will play just about any sports -love marijuana -skinny/fit -very attractive -used to say "eh?" at the end of every sentence but realized they were doing it so they now say "oh, yeah?" instead -end every sentence with their voices going higher making every sentence sound like a question. -still pronounce "out" as "oot" - this is how you can distinguish them in a crowd[/b] Probably not half Asian, but damn if there aren't a lot of them. Sports mad, yeah... lots of Aussie ski resort instructors... love weed... I'd say the only thing that isn't true is the last three. I laughed at third to last point. Hilarious.

[CryoDragoon]

Dutch * Drink Heineken * good beer, jolly when drinking beer * attractive/sexy * men are boring romantic partners * blue/green eyes and blond(e) hair * promiscuous, start having sex at a young age * reputation of "anything goes" with legal cannabis and prostitution * tolerant * speak English better than British or Americans * obsessed with cleanliness * economic, will save money off everything possible * wooden shoes, tulips, and windmills dominate perception of culture * owned and operated the slave ships/trade between Africa and the Americas - guilty over historically ill gotten gains * travel through Europe in mobile homes * bad skiers * very tall * good businessmen; wealthy * active pot smokers * all Dutch people live in Amsterdam * money-hungry What...

"speak English better than British or Americans" that is just wrong... we, the dutch people, speak english better than ANYONE ELSE, WE INVENTED ENGLISH!!!!! But, joking aside... What's with the pot in that article? I mean, sure we have not-so-strict rules about soft drugs... but that's where it ends, really... And that's probably why I hate stereotypes...

Originally posted by Danes * Drink Carlsberg * miserably parsimonious and stingy in business * hypocritical about wealth (part of the so-called Jantelov) * good beer, enjoy their beer * happy go lucky, fun loving, pranksters * sexy, attractive * easily conquered by Nazis in WWII (despite Viking history) * remarkably brave in helping Jews escape the Nazis * fine sailors * tolerant * extremely racist * still lots of Danish hippies * reputation for free love * people get naked in public parks * fit & healthy people, but not known for athleticism * Believe most Swedish men are weak * Dependent on cradle to grave welfare state Most of it is true, except for those underlined. Just because we don't take in as many people, as other countries do, doesn't mean we're all racists. We don't have that many hippies left. We don't get naked in parks. Only for taking sun then, and that's mostly by the beach. We don't have that many parks actually :s

[Ynot]

[QwinsepiaSquared]

Americans (United States) Rednecks[/b] Ever hear of New Yorkers?

[NeAvO]

Drink Tetley's or Carling---Meh English and tea. I don't like tea to be honest, but a lot of people do. Carlings to weak and has a horrible taste. unattractive: pale; frumpy; bad teeth ---I'm pale but I wouldn't say I have bad teeth. Silly drunks but cold and phlegmatic when sober ---yeah we're stupid when drunk but who isn't All the men are named Nigel and all the women are called Polly---WTF I've never met a nigel or Polly wet, cold, foggy environment ---Yeah thats true with the rain but not fog. love beer/ale, especially jolly when drinking---Sort of true, I'd say more stupid when drunk though. inbred royals/idiotic upper class ---You can't class us as upper class because of the stupid royal family. never got over defeat in U.S. War of Independence; jokingly refer to the U.S. as "the colonies"---Ok whats a "the colonies" and whats the war of independance? reputation as football hooligans---Although I don't care much for football/soccer there are a lot of hooligans out there. despise the French, common expression is "The Wogs begin at Calais."---Never heard of that. not interested in sex; sexually repressed---Haha. Friendly, outgoing---Some of us are. Gentlemen---Again not all of us.

Willing to take over Canada, just to prove a point[/b] Bring it on Eldritch. You may take the rest of the country but you won't get my little patch of land. Soon as you lay a toe on my property I'll whup ya just to prove Americans aren't as tough as they like to think they are.

RAWR! hehe[/b]

[Man of Steel]

Southerners Hard to understand when speaking Owns a rifle Inbred Religious fanatics; "Born Again" Christians Racist Scots-Irish or English heritage Drive a pick-up truck Good ol' boys Sports fans, especially football Eat grits, fried foods and drink "Sweet Tea" close-minded women are demure, coy Southern "belles" obsessed with the Civil War love Nascar Lives in a mobile home Love the KKK slur their words Rednecks Work blue-collar jobs Most of those are true. Italics are true of most, in my experience, and bold true of me in particular. One thing, though. Our women ain't just coy and demure. We've got some feisty women down here. The racists are mostly in Atlanta, which is full of Northerners anyway, and inbreeding is fiction. Lot's of good ol' boys, though, especially in law enforcement. And everybody has to try to get you to come to their church, it's just a matter of tradition, it seems. Oh, and my mother makes the best sweet tea in the state. No exaggeration whatsoever.

Have a fettish for English accents[/b] Yep totally

[Led]

Austrians Wear Tirolean hats and lederhosen Play giant Alpine horns Excellent singers/yodelers Stooges to the Nazis Great musicians and composers Export charismatic politicians such as the chancellor of Germany, and governor of California Annoy people by singing everywhere they go, as in the film The Sound of Music Good skiers Boring Women have mustaches Anti-Semitic lol But I live in the southern US. I find our stereotypes sad, because so many of them are true.

[CymekSniper]

I'd say only about fifteen of the American stereotypes are true.

[Lomebririon]

Australians All descended from criminals (Based on past as a British penal colony) Aggressive but good-natured Wrestle/hunt crocodiles Generous, friendly Dingoes ate their babies (that only happened once) Drink Fosters Ride kangaroos to school Call each other mate (this one's actually true) Adventurous, courageous Tendency to get in barfights Known for preparing barbequed prawns ("shrimp on the barbie") Uncultured Hate Aborigines Bonkers Refer to cheap wine as GOON. ("don't drink beer, GOON's the way of the future! 10 bucks for 4 litres!") Live in the outback (some do, most don't) Enjoy putting thier own suffixes onto the end of various words (EG: penrith=peno, mount druitt=mounty - and also names: loren=lozza charlie=chazza) Names generally take on the suffix zza Very Friendly Good in bed Large penises Engage in bestiality Some of it's true, some of it's not. I've italicised that which isn't true. I italicised Bonkers, but most of the Aussies you find on this site are pretty insane. Not the ones you meet in actuality, but the crazy ones seem to congregate here.

[Explode]

Redheads(of various races) * Extreme anger management problems, short fuse (maybe sometimes...) * They must be Irish, no other possibilities occur to people (I'm scottish) * Vampires (How the HELL did they find out?) * do not have body hair (I'm often compared to as an ape) * always have freckles (yeah I've got plenty) * freckles cover body in a sheet (Nope, only on my arms and face) * have tiny penises (actually, it's quite the opposite)

[NeAvO]
