Found this map, kinda funny lol.
What national stereotypes do you know? Do you think they're true?
Found this map, kinda funny lol.
That Asians study hard and place a great emphasis on learning. Oh, also that it's a good bet a Korean girl has studied one or more of the following: piano, violin, cello, or flute.
Honestly, I find these stereotypes to be quite correct. In fact, so did my wife (ethnically Korean). It was my wife who made that observation about Korean girls.
I teach A LOT of Asian students. I find it's more convenient to ask them *how long* they have studied a musical instrument, not *if* they have studied a musical instrument.
I spend much time at the library. I tutor there. Every time I arrive, I notice kids skateboarding outside the library. All kinds of kids... except Asian kids. Where are the Asian kids? They're *IN* the library. Reading, studying.
I don't believe this is genetic. I believe they were raised in a culture that places great value on academics. Sometimes stereotypes are true because it's simply culture passing down from one generation to another.
Well, unfortunately I couldn't find "The world according to Switzerland" but this is "The world according to Germany". Since we're generalizing and stereotyping already, let's just say... close enough ;-).
Well I think of swedish people as short and hairy and i think of British people as unattractive with bad teeth
Short? You know Scandinavians are the tallest in the world (except from the Dutch)?
@BlueCoyote ^^
Basically idiots.. or brainless if the word "idiot" is too offensive to the small minded.
Ummmm I dunno how to explain it XD but hey we're neighbors :D nice to meet ya
Well apparently my country is at war, didn't know that lol🙄

I try to stay away from stereotypes as they are normally negative. I gauge each new piece of information I get and store it away but would never let it form an opinion of a nationality because I know each individual is different regardless of where they are from.
scandanavia has sexy blondes Middle East is hell Aistrailians get drunk a lot 😂
I'm Jared and I like scandanavians🙂
Sara if that wasn't clear I was hitting on you on that last comment 🙂
Sara I should call you google cause you're everything I'm looking for

"Some stereotypes may seem uncouth, but that's because they're based on truth" - Avenue Q (A ridiculous musical). Although stereotypes can often be dead wrong, there is always a reason. I'm a Canadian, living in Germany, and I can say from experience that the Canada, and Germany stereotypes are pretty damn accurate lol
or you tell yourself that since it reinforces a bias in your head. learn to critically think.
@thecalmerface I do know how to critically think. Do you understand the concept of humour? Of a joke? As a goddamn Canadian I have every right to make fun of my own country, and hockey, and bears is a damn good joke. I'm from the country-- I know that not everyone plays hockey. A lot of us do, but not all of us. If I had to define Canada then I would say we're like Americans, but A. We have a Queen, and B. We don't take everyfuckingthing seriously.
joke? i doubt that i believe you all are pretty serious.
Americans are ignorant.
I can confirm there is some truth to that.
Also, have you seen this:
The French and arrogance/pride is true to me. Seen it with my own eyes and ears more than enough.
Map clearly made by American.
TBH most are reasonably accurate -except- America, because nobody outside America thinks 'freedom' about America.
@kaylaS91
Are you as nice as people think Canadians are? lol :P
well now... wouldn't asking a Canadian, much less the girl in question, result in being given a bit of a biased answer?

Most of the stereotypes I know come from TF2. I don't know if they're true or not, and I don't want to find out :p
They forgot maple syrup, lumber jacks and igloos for Canada
War in Turkiye? Lmfao.
We are just cleaning bunch of terrorist monkeys in our East side, life continues well in %95 of the country.
I like how Texas got singled out.
I was born in Texas and have lots of family there. Despite the "redneck" stereotype Texans are actually really smart! It's growing in diversity too.
Germany: Beer - can confirm! :D At least that is a really popular sterotype :D
well, the ones about my country would be that we all are rich and that we are a fiscal paradise.
People who think all Americans are fa, are terribly misinformed...
I believe there is no war in turkey. I was expecting kebab or something.
Actually there is a war against a terrorist group called as pkk in the Eastern part of Turkey.
Lmao. Not too far off. 😀👍
Every country has a true stereotype
