National Stereotypes - Rape Board

Yozzer · 08-20-2008, 07:10 AM

I know that all nations hold stereotypical views of other nations so I thought it would be interesting to see the different ones from both sides. I'll kick off with some English stereotypes, 'coz I'm English:

NB These are not my opinions, I am merely documenting the comonly held stereo-types

.

The Irish are stupid
The Scotts are alcoholic
The French are dirty
The Spanish are Lazy
The Belgians are boring
The Dutch are stoners
The US Americans are arrogant
The Italians are cowards

I know these peoples aren't really like this but what do they think of others?
(BTW I know the French think the English are Homosexual, that's just because we wash!

)

From an American Perspective:

French people are stupid (but thanks for the fattening food!)
Spanish people are stupid (but thanks for GOOD food)
British people are stupid (but thanks for a good jumping off point for the "real" Engish language)
German people are stupid (but thanks for NASA).
Italian people are stupid (but thanks for the Sopranos)
Indian people are stupid (but thanks for the Slushies)
Belgian people are stupid (but thanks for the waffles)
Japanese people are stupid (but thanks for all those nifty electronics)
Russian people are stupid (but I know its too cold for you guys to go to school regularly, so its alright).
Panamanian people are stupid (but thanks for letting us cut your country in half for our boats)
Chinese people are THE BEST!! (PLEASE don't take your money out of our economy!!)
Mexicans are stupid (But thanks for cutting our grass).
Canadians are stupid (and since they can't read, it doesn't matter what I say here)

Great perspective

From a French perspective:
- English people are drunks, and girls are sluts
- Irish people are red-haired drunks
- Portuguese people are hairy, and women don't shave
- Spanish people are lazy
- Greek people are gay
- American people are fat, and girls are sluts
- Japanese people are crazy
- Italian people are chauvinists

hah...funny thread

heres an obvious one...from usa and lots of euro
all middle easterners are terrorists (or some degree thereof)
-ps i was gunna put "arabs" in place of "middle easterners" but that would leave out the persians and egyptians...then of
course also that would leave out the Israelis who are considered by many american arabs to be terrorists...god stereotypes are stewpid :P

[i only put here in the spirit of the thread...iz pure bullshit of course...Ma' Alsalam]

xd1212 · 08-20-2008, 09:09 PM

what about university stereotypes

MinaPi · 08-21-2008, 02:10 AM

Chinese people are good at math and science, and bad drivers.

I'm horrible at math and science, and a horrible driver. Lol!

Yozzer · 08-21-2008, 07:18 AM

Thanks for contributing everyone!

Remember the point is to see how one nation thinks of others. Just saying "Welshmen dress funny" doesn't serve the purpose unless you tell us where you're from!

ChiTownHoney · 08-21-2008, 10:12 PM

My American perspective.

French are gay
Indians smell bad
Chinese are smart, but bad drivers
Spanish are romantic
Italians are good cooks
Russians are the enemy
Germans are stubborn
Canadians are harmless
Irish are drunks
Polish are idiots
Sweds are smokin' hot blondies
Jamaicans are pot heads
British are polite and dignified
Koreans are all manicurists
Asyrians smoke hookah
Jewish are greedy and cheap
Brazilians are attractive

[m[o_o]m] · 08-27-2008, 04:55 AM

i am a pinko commie...yet i live in united states / kentucky. heh...stereotypes are about as useful as a condom in a convent :P

ego · 08-29-2008, 09:33 AM

Greeks are not able tofllow a program.

What... what you mean that aint a stereotype?

eminembc911 · 08-30-2008, 03:01 AM

I agree with the Asians are not good at math and science. lol and the bad drivers one.. maybe SOME.

Johnboy267 · 08-30-2008, 07:34 AM

OK, I very rarely post here, because basically I'm way too busy to do anything except check in for new stuff 5 and 10 minutes at a time and be a leeching lurker!
But this is way too fun not to participate. This is an Americans take on how we view other countries stereotypes of Americans:

The French are stuck-up snobs, who hate Americans and think we are crude and unsophisticated
The English think they have all the real Old-World sophistication and think that Americans are crass and rude
The Germans think they have the best Engineering in the world (and they do) but they wish Americans would stop building Military bases in their country, marrying their women and staying forever, becoming Germans.
The Italians love the IDEA of opportunity in America and want to move here, but wish Americans would stay the hell out of their country
The Russians love EVERYTHING American (Blue Jeans, McDonalds, iPods) but hate the American people. They think we are crass, fat, stupid, overbearing bullies
The Canadians LOVE Americans to cross their borders for vacations, shopping and tourism, but HATE us when we cross the border to take jobs away from them
The Mexicans LOVE to cross the border to live in the US, but wish all us foreigners would get the hell out of THEIR country!
The Native Americans are still just REALLY PISSED OFF!!! (I'm 1/4 Seneca, so I guess I can say that) :-)

kitty_joanne · 08-30-2008, 08:01 AM

From my point of view:

Americans: They have no shame.

British: Like to sing "i can't live without beer"

Irish: umm.. Hot Guys

French: They are somewhat known to be romantic and its not very true, probably the gays are

Spanish: Best drama telenovela

Dutch: best cakes seller

Chinese: afraid to lose anything

Japanese: THE BEST COUNTRY MANKIND EVER CREATED

Australia: their tax is like a discount percentage always high

Indians: smells very bad

Koreans: "holy shit u got a nose job at the age of 14?" its normal there

Italians: do everything for the family, never betray the family, have sex with the family.

Its all just jokes >.< doesn't mean to be rude haha

star67 · 09-08-2008, 05:37 AM

Americans - arrogant about something, but i'm not sure what since that place is full of crime, racists, and morons. oh and people who make up their own words on tv. fuck, that's annoying.
British - all they do is go down the pub and get drunk. booooring expensive place, bad food. nice people though

China - i live here so... stereotypes of propaganda-loving, work-obsessed, people with no manners are not that far from the mark.
Japan - the weirdest place in the world. a bunch of cartoon-obsessed, anti-social, child-raping hermits. would rather die than live here.
Italy - rude, elitist xenophobes.
Indians/Pakistani - the men are all creepy and shameless about being creepy. never adapt the culture of whatever country they inhabit. therefore, continue to be creepy.

... before anyone lynches me.. this IS the rowdy room. and i belong to 2 of those listed above. equal opportunity hate!

Well expensive certainly meets the stereotype...Boring?, depends upon where you are. Nice people?, again, depends upon where you are. lol Bad Food?, Not a chance...I challenge everyone to prove that old adage about Britain and bad food, those days are certainly long gone...Britain is arguably the most culinary evolved country this century.
But people please....someone tell me exactly whats wrong with hitting the pub and getting hammered?

LOL

star67 · 09-10-2008, 07:53 AM

all right, chillax. there's nothing wrong with heading down the pub to get hammered (or hanging out at home getting stoned) but... this is the stereotypes thread. i wasn't entirely serious. i like the BRITISH... the country is just too cold and wet and expensive for me [i lived there]. i don't even mind the food [yummy!]

i don't believe the british have the worst teeth. i've been to ~japan~

also, i'm british
