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(!)

I know of a couple:

Mexicans are lazy

The French are rude

Italians are romantic

Now...I am a french/brit/american indian/irish(and who knows what else...) mix...so...I wouldn't know where I get certian traits...oy...

Jacob 05-24-2002 05:13 PM

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:

Jacob 05-24-2002 05:32 PM

Belgians? Belgians are French...right?

Gluk Schmuck 05-24-2002 05:51 PM

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.

Xavier 05-24-2002 06:51 PM

belgians are not french
they speak french and dutch

Jacob 05-24-2002 07:27 PM

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.

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

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.

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. ;))

TOP 10 REASONS FOR BEING BELGIAN!
1. You get to speak three languages, but none of them intelligibly.
2. If other countries want to fight a war, they will do it in your country.
3. You can brew drinks out of fruit, and still call it beer.
4. You are either:
     a. like the Dutch, just less efficient,
     b. like the French, just less romantic,
     c. like the Germans.
5. Decent chips. Real mayonnaise. Great chocolate. The best beer.
6. No one knows anything about you, except for the Dutch and French, and they make fun of you.
7. More scandals in a week than any other country in a decade.
8. You can drive like a maniac on the road and nobody cares.
9. All your famous countrymen are either imaginary, or sex-offenders.
10. Face it. It's not really a country, is it?

Xavier 05-27-2002 02:06 PM

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

3. You can brew drinks out of fruit, and still call it beer.
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.

7. More scandals in a week than any other country in a decade.
At least they come out.

8. You can drive like a maniac on the road and nobody cares.
That's the fun, isn't it ?

9. All your famous countrymen are either imaginary, or sex-offenders.
Some are both

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

Teal 05-27-2002 02:13 PM

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

Xavier 05-27-2002 02:29 PM

you think I am?

:lol:

Teal 05-27-2002 02:32 PM

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.

Danny 05-28-2002 09:04 PM

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