Nationality Stereotypes...(!)
 

This is a topic about the stereotypes of nationalities and what we think about them and if we think they'r true.

Such as...

Englishmen; Mad about football, eat greasy foods and not very nice looking...just a few.

Americans; Fat...Stupid...Eat Burgers alot.

Italians; Great lovers, good looking and self absorbed/quite bitchy.

French; Arrogant and smelly.

Ok...so, whats your opinions?

Im part Italian and i have been told i have the self absorbed, bitchy and the great lover part of a Italian. Not that i like to brag.

Oh...and Italians are also quite stylish...something else i dont wanna brag about(!)

The French are deffo rude!!

I was in Disney Land Paris on a skool trip thing and the French never stepped out of the way, they just carried on walking and ploughed right into you...although, one of the funniest things was when my friend put his head in a womans hood whilst waiting in a que for a ride...that was soooo funni. Especially when she started walking. Oh, and also when he felt up a French man...oh my...and were i tried to converse in French to these French lass' who were insulting us...and i just stood there making French gestures and speaking broken english...sometimes slipping in a 'Oui, Oui' for good measure...*Sighs* Happy days.

and what do you think about belgians ? :fuzconf:

Belgians? Belgians are French...right?

When I was in Paris I didn't notice anyone particularly rude. I don't know any fat fast-food loving football fans. There weren't that many fat people in Placerville when I went, I don't know anything about their intelligence or dietary habits.

Edit: Belgians are Belgian and they speak French (I think).

Apparently Brits are known for putting salt on food before tasting it. I don't personally use salt although plenty of people do put salt on before they taste the food.

belgians are not french
they speak french and dutch

Well...blah to Belgianers

Great lover? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you're a virgin, aren't you?

I don't think that any of those stereotypes are true... (although I like to pretend I think the American one is, since it pisses them off... :D)

Yes...but me and many female friends get in lengthy discussions in what i would do to females. And they said i'd be great (Well, they say more...but i'd be banned if i put that) Same goes with the stuff i say id do with guys...all the straights are like "Whoa...ur good." and then they realise what ive said and beat me...shouting that im "A Queer" etc...oh the woe.

Well i was born in Aus but my parents are Syrian (But they moved to Aus when they were about 9 years of age) so i don't know which it makes me. But i'm guessing mostly everyone now thinks arabs are terrorists.

Laughing out loud!

Not everyone is as stupid and bigotted as you.

There was no need for that. That is your first warning.

*Runs away giggling like that of a school girl*

No, but to be fair, a lot of people are...

Yeah, and your one of them!:D

For the arab thingy. maybe. Just Maybe because I went to Canada to check out the Niagra Falls, and the police officer only checked the cars of the arabs.

That's because the American authorities seem to think that extremist Muslims can only be Arabic in origin.

He probably doesn't think that.

Yeah! I am one bigotted mutha! Now let's go persecute us some fascists...

Yup, and you shall be my first fascist to destory! Mwahahah~!

Whoa, a Political Cannibal...

Power to it!:D

Way to insult the U.S president

Well, we've all had a lot of practise by now...

Especially for Xavier (I get loads of crap like this in my email - my friends seem to think it's all hilarious and send me it. Don't take it personally. ;))

Correction:

1. You get to speak three languages, but none of them intelligibly.
We can understand each other...

2. If other countries want to fight a war, they will do it in your country.
We like tourism

Kriek is delicious. By the way, I even heard of people using bones.

4. You are either:
a. like the Dutch, just less efficient,
b. like the French, just less romantic,
c. like the Germans.
Fortunately we are not like the American...

5. Decent chips. Real mayonnaise. Great chocolate. The best beer.
Oh yeah!

6. No one knows anything about you, except for the Dutch and French, and they make fun of you.
We make fun of them too.

At least they come out.

That's the fun, isn't it ?

Some are both

10. Face it. It's not really a country, is it?
How much did you get in geography?

*rolls eyes* I wasn't being serious, you know, Xav...

you think I am?

:lol:

Never can tell with you, you evil mud propagandist, you...

;)

Well, I am gonna get a few licks in on this.
Racial profiling is essentially good. Why wand and derobe some 70 year old blue haired granny when 24 out of twenty five of the terrorists are Arabic in nationality. Also, when it comes to DWB, white people are pulled over without cause/and or arrest far more than a negro Some stereotypes off the head

Pollacks are dumb little monkeys(I can't believe this wasn't mentioned)
Mexicans are boarder hopping illiterate job stealers
Europeans are loud, rude, use weird slang, have nasty funk teeth and enjoy wack ass comedy and variety shows.
French Rude little buggers qwho never bathe.
Germans, leider hosen wearing drunks who love horrible polkas and bratwurst too much
Blacks Yardapes who never do anything constructive and bitch about the race issue to much. also seen as haviong two jobs; Pimp daddy or drug runner/kingpin.

Do you believe your own bullshit, or are you just saying it in a misguided attempt to sound cool?

Re: Nationality Stereotypes...(!)
 

So that's why they are the most powerful nation on earth?

From around where I am among me and my peers, hispanics (mostly) are considered annoying wierd people. aaat my school, probably 80% of the students are hispanic, most are lazy, don't speak good english, are very disrespectful to whites (even if whites are nice back) and are rude to anyone thats not their friend. Blacks are usualy slang talking and rude, I find it sad that some people make a race seem evil or like a bunch of bums. I am not racist really, I have an evenly cultured class, but I kind of sterotype some people mainly jsut from how my community is.

Some people stereotype Australia as having kangaroos down the main streets of our cities. And that we all have really strong accents (i.e. Paul Hogan) and use a lot of Aussie slang (hmmm... maybe we do). That we love beer and barbeques.

Any movies about Australia that are actually produced by Americans always seem to depict outback and kangaroos.

Abe Babe...

Thaaw anaather kangee on tha baarbie, mayt!

Struwth, mayt!

I believe i did say 'Such as' which meant they were examples. I dont really think they are true. Unfortunatly...they are stupid (Most of them; "Hey, im Dubya...i repeat the same joke in 5 states." If you dont get that, then Bush told the same Pretzel joke in 5 speeches in 5 diff states...Sad-Sad little man.)

Fat...well...yes...they are fat...most of them

And eat Burgers alot, this was actually proven on 'Tourist Trap' were the Americans were in a hotel and none of the staff was there. Unlike the Japanese who set out the table for Breakfast, Unlike the Germans who made the food in the kitchen, unlike the Brits who made the food in the kitchen AND served it...The Americans went down to the nearest fast food restaurant and gouged themselves on Burgers...nice.

Oh, and i dont know why they are the most powerfullest nation on Earth, obviously God pitied them for their Americaness and said "Yes, you poor sods...have power." and gave them power...who knows?

(Apologies to all Americans reading this, i dont believe any of it...i just type it.)

Re: Re: Nationality Stereotypes...(!)
 

Yeah, sad, isn't it...

I'm annoyed by all the stupid things people think of Finns and Finland. Like the most extreme stuff that we live in sheds in the forests and we've got polar bears in here and stuff like that... And I just had my latest French course about Finland and we listened French people talking about Finland and Finns and they think we are cold people, because it's cold in here or something like that...

And everyone thinks we are terrible barbarians or something because we go to sauna naked. OMG! How can we do something like that?!!!! *is very shocked* I meen... what is it with nudity? How can it be so terrible? I've known an American exchange students from the Southern States, who was shocked when she saw a few young guys wearing boxers. She was all freaked out and wanted to go home after that... Okey, I'm not saying all yankees are that stupid, I just meen... How can it be so terrible to like see your parents naked or that they see you? They aren't like watching you or anything! But if they are, they should get help...

And the stereotyping... yech! Not all of us love sauna or beer or sausage. Not all of us are terrible drinkers. And then the stupid Estonians make a card like that of Finland to the Eurovision...:fuzmad: *grrrr* They are feeding the stupid stereotypes.

Re: Re: Re: Nationality Stereotypes...(!)
 

1. I've never heard any stereotypes about Finland. I think it's cold up there, isn't it? That's all I know.

2. Heh! Pretty funny some stereotypes, ain't they!

3. Heh! Naked... Scary!

4. Well, notice 'Southern'. If I remember corectly, the Southern States are full of overly-religious freaks who see spaceships every fortnight.

5. You mean a lot are... Or at least I do.

6. Well. You drink cider, don't you. Which I hear is a terrible drink...

Odd, Jenni, I've never heard any one stereotype Finland at all...

Btw, people, stop taking these seriously... They're only stereotypes, when someone says one in here, I don't think that they truly believe it, just giving examples. (Though I'm sure there are some people here who actually believe some of these...)

The stereo type about Germans getting up early in the morning just to get the Sun beds is true...DAMN U GERMANS!!

Also, the one about German women with hairy armpits used to be true...dont know if it still is.

Have you actually been to America?

Well, considering almost all hotels in America don't have complete kitchens, and it is common manners to stay out of staff areas (the room service kitchen), I would have gone out to eat fast food, also. Its quick, cheap, for unexpected events like all of the staff leaving at the drop of a hat. Too bad it tastes like shit. I enjoy finer foods myself...

Just remember, most of us started out as Europeans! ;) Although I'm starting to think your 'God' explaination is the most reasonable! How else could our evil, capitalist empire become so powerful? Can't we just give the power to Canada or something? This is too much pressure!

Jebus, Chris! You so crazy!

And, Leon. Your making us look bad! Stop it!

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I don't like stereotypes... I've got to get out of this country.

Whoo... I'm tired! Apologies if there are way too many typos!
