Apparently a Belgian stereotype is that we drink a lot of beer.

Never noticed it.

One of the most common Indian stereotypes depict Indians to have a limited sense of humour and very bad English-speaking skills.

Fact is, just as much as the Australians and Americans have picked up two different accents from the original British english, we have also modified the language to our needs. The English I spoke in during my first few months here could be classified as Indian English. As much as it may seem weird to a person from any country that has been exposed to the English setup by American standards would find this English 'borken', 'classless' or 'incorrect'. It isn't either.

Another very common misconception about Indians is that they are unhygienic. Well, we are 70% Rural agreed, and 30% does not have have access to proper latrines and bathing systems, but the overall hygiene of India can be classified as quite good. Just ask yourself: toilet paper that let's your 'things' stick to your 'ahem' or water that cleanses everything (practically) from your 'ahem'?

In your case, it would be because you were too drunk to notice.

Errr...

Would not classify India as 'quite good'. Never been there but I've heard from several people that India is very filthy. As in, garbage everywhere, people urinating against walls, animal feces on the streets and walkways.

I don't know whether Indian people are unhygienic since I never met any irl but India itself does not classify as clean :P

EDIT: @Jules: I haven't had a beer (or touched alcohol in any form) for a week, maybe two :D

Well, some people in the U.S. think that Greek cuisine consists mainly of yogurt and Gyros. Also, almost everyone I've come across asked if I believe in Zeus, and that religion's pretty much dead now.

^Whaddya mean stereotype? That's a true 'Murican right there! xD

I hate it when people stereotype Asians eating dog and cat. Sure, some Asians eat it, but now it's illegal. Just because they ate it, doesn't mean I will.

...I hate being called a dog/cat eater.

Depends where you are. And also, sorry for what I wanted to state differed from what I stated - I meant the people, not the country. :P

Garbage everywhere? Yes once, not anymore. Urinating against the walls? Once, not anymore. Animal faeces on pathways? Yeah that's true. Every friggin time.
