Nationality Stereotypes

[Dave Against The Machine]

Louisiana

We're all cajun ( we aren't....)

LIES! Y'ALL ARE! heh

Freaking Texas man. But I can only think of a few at the moment.

We all talk like John Wayne.
We all wear wrangler, big belt buckels, and cowboy hats. (COME ON! I DID ON TIME FOR A SCHOOL PROJECT IN 8TH GRADE, AND NEVER HEAR THE END OF IT.)
Every thing is "Texas sized".
We all rides a horse.
Deserts everywhere, with tumbelweeds. (I've never seen one.)

I could probly think of more. But that all I want to.

You've probably met a CSI team with a quiet yet caring leader?

Every Floridian has!

[Garneta]

Anyone mentioned the Osage yet? They're the ones that lived around here.

Northern Arkansas (I grew up in a place called Dogpatch, so these were magnifyed to an even greater degree):

We're Hillbillies thru and thru. The men wear overalls and hillbilly hats to go with their long beards and bare feet. The women wear hillbilly dresses with pigtails and bare feet. Also, terrible teeth and horrific accents.

We live in rundown shacks with stihls out back in the woods, and several hound dawgs lyin around in the yard.

Our favorite food is porkchops, cornbread, or beans. And don't forget roadkill. We like that too...especially possum.

The only musical instruments we've ever heard of are the banjo and the dulcimer. We also play the washboard and the XXX Whiskey jug.

We all raise hogs as pets along with the hound dogs.

There are probably others, but I don't feel like putting any real effort into thinking of them right now.

I hate all those Americans that tell everyone they're Canadian when they go somewhere in Europe. All that does is make Canadians look better and it does nothing to improve the perception they have of Americans.

[The Neko]

Thanks to the prospect of California being the only state in the US to put caps on greenhouse gas emissions, I can say I'm from there specifically instead of America.

[EvilChihuahua]

I'm a Canadian, but I'm on the lower west coast, so I'm radically different from most other Canadians.

I Don't knoe many stereotypes, but here I go.

1 We all work in the lumber industry. Actually, I do. I'm a lumberjack's Minion. (long story, don't ask.)

2 We all say "eh" and "aboot" alot. I've never heard anyone say "aboot" in my life. But I do say "eh" a lot.

3 I don't know what thereforeiam was talking about when she said all people think BC is full of asians. the few asians I've seen are exchang students. There are far more middle eastern people here.

4. Canadians speak french. Okay, french is one of our official languages. but I never hear it here. You really only get that on the east coast. My mom, who grew up in ontario, spoke french until she was six.
But I still despise having to learn it. I wish my school taught japanese, which would make a lot of sense, considering the number of japanese exchange students we have.

I'll tell you one thing that is true. Canadians are really politically apathetic.

"Where are you from?"

"Holland."

"Ooooooooh hahahahahahahahahahah(for an hour) so you smoke the (holds invisible joint up to mouth)"

"*sigh*"

Same here. You have no idea how sick of that you can get. Whenever people hear you're from Holland they think you're stashed with drugs. Especially airport and coach security personel.

The worst part it's that it's not even the dutch natives who're the potheads over here. It's all the ex-pats and the tourists!

Don't forget the Chinooks and Apaches

Never really understood that apache helicopter thing. Isn't that the same as having Spanish Aztec jets and the mighty Australian Aborigine tank?

[Vorticus]

Yes, but the names are shorter and it's less obvious they're people groups.

[Killbert-Robby]

Damn it, we have Caucasian Fighters inbound!

And I didnt know Bob was Dutch. Live and learn.

[Webkilla]

Danish national stereotypes?

not sure....


we all draw offensive cartoons? (plug hint to my webcomic... it features ass-sundering now) (and no, we dont all do that... although I do, sorta)

we all have little mermaids in our back yards (no we dont... theres only one, at some harbor)

we all play with LEGO (i guess at some point in our childhood we all have done that)

we live in the capital of IKEA (this is only relevant if you have american geography... and FYI denmark is not the capital of IKEA)


thats all I can think of...

although I do have my take on the american and the european dream:


american dream: get rich, then stuff you ears with cash and go around sticking your tongue out at everyone with your eyes closed.

european dream: buy a sleek little scooter-type thingy and ride around in some medeteranian hillside with no shirt on (or just a bikini-top if female) while waving at everyone...

ok, may have lost something in translation + i'm tired, but what the hey

[Killbert-Robby]

The Euro dream... while it's extremely stereotypical and largely Italian... it sounds fun...

[Mr.Bob]

Damn it, we have Caucasian Fighters inbound!

Every internet community has at least 3 Dutchmen on it. On the other hand, there must be about 3 French guys on the entire internet in total - so backing up that French stereotype of technophobia.

They're all too busy drinking wine and eating garlic.

You forgot that you're all Vikings with Swedish accents.

Awww dagnabit, ah wanted t' doo Tayk-sus. Ah'll jist add a few.

"Texas-sized" = "bigger than everything." Meaning everything is bigger in Texas than elsewhere. Period. We're the biggest state, except for that cheater Alaska up north. What's that, France? England? Germany? Spain? HA! We're bigger.

We're all diehard, gun-toting, trigger-happy, psychotic, hateful conservatives spoiling for a fight.

Everyone owns a ranch. And is a cowboy

An we're damn proud of it, too. We have a T-shirt that says "Screw you, I'm from Texas."

[Pengy]

I've lived in Georgia for the past 2 years.....its all true...all of it.

Nope, the danes are all crazy royalty with Oedipus complexes who see ghosts. Or gravedigging clowns.

[Nicotine]

Haha, I like this topic

Black/African-American/Nigerian

-We don't speak proper english
-We recieve state help one way or another
-We're all belligerant.
-We aren't very smart
-Someone in our family is in jail
-We like sports and we play sports. Our future depends on sports; that's the only way we can get to college :O
-We loooove fried chicken.
