Every English stereotype is 100% true regardless of what anyone tells you.

The food is terrible, someone blessed me when I sneezed on a train once and it's the nicest thing a British stranger has ever said to me, I have seen queues that don't even lead to anything and only got shorter because people realised they'd been waiting in a queue for no reason other than wanting to be in the queue and most people I know take many. many. MANY bottles of wine before they get even a little tipsy. (the others are tipsy after one and drink the same amount anyway.)

can also confirm that we bathe in tea.

In all seriousness though I do understand what you mean.

I'm not slow! That's just my moe!

I see nothing wrong with eating dogs or cats, I've actually eaten dog before. Its simply stupid to make it illegal, I could never bring myself to eat a lizard or a turtle, but they are still legal to serve so why should dog and cat owners get special treatment?


Anyway, I have to say "cops eating donuts", while not particularly offensive, has some truth to it. Police officers often work long, late, or early hours so often don't have much choice on where they buy their food and beverages, and I mean if you're already getting coffee (which many people would in the early hours of the morning)...

Well this is what mainland Italians think about Sardinians

- All sardinians are shepherds (even there are a lot of sheeps here, this is completely false)
- All sardinians can't speak italian (In reality we are the best ones in all the state)
- All sardinians are descendants of the Atlanteans (this one is most probably true tho)

One of the most common Indian stereotypes depict Indians to have a limJust ask yourself: toilet paper that let's your 'things' stick to your 'ahem' or water that cleanses everything (practically) from your 'ahem'?

Just ask yourself. Can the Wild West even afford using so much precious water.

@Slappio- It's not like the Byzantine Empire would allow polytheism in their land.


I would just like to say that not all Californians like to clog up freeways, unless your freeways have two tiny lanes because we don't work on such tiny freeways.

I may live near Boston, but I don't have that stereotypical "Paahk the Kahh at Hahvedd Yaahd" accent.
And the "Masshole" thing doesn't apply to me because I don't drive.... EVER. A lot of people in my state DO have poor judgment behind the wheel though. Almost got run over by a commercial truck on my walk to work a few months ago, called him a "Male Donkey" *coughcough*jackass*coughcough*.

Also, I have Aspergers, and people seem to think I'm stupid... Well, I'm FAR FROM IT!

Also, America USED to be the land of the free, but the two-party system has been a load of bull for years.

The problem with France is that most stereotypes are true.
Yes, most Frenchmen are dreadfully arrogant who believe so hard in the fact the entire world rotates around them they could probably unscrew a light bulb just by holding it.
Yes, most Frenchmen speak only French and refuse to learn any other language, not yet having realized that it's no longer an international language.

When you meet people like those is a pain where there's no sunlight,especially when they murmur.

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.
That's a classic asian sterotype, even Filipinos get that stereotype. The only thing though, is the fact that 99.9999% of all Filipinos don't eat dog or cat, including my (big by Filipino standard) family.

Peruvian stereotypes I've heard:

We eat doves and pigeons always - While pigeons are delicious, I have only eaten them like twice in my life. I've even eaten more alpacas than pigeons.

We have pet llamas - Not really, lot's of people live in apartments or small houses, where you can't house a llama.

We are all Incas - Lots of people are Inca descendants (Not sure if I'm one of them), but since the Spanish colonies there's also lots of European descendants.

We hate Chileans - Well, there's Peruvians who hate Chileans just for being Chileans, but most of us are perfectly fine with them.

There's probably more.

Been to Peru and can confirm that alpacas are indeed delicious, as are guinea pigs.

Oh i remeber another one but this time is for all latin americans:

This thing that we all live in cabins on the jungle, i mean there's no cities here, we wake up we grab our vine and our machete and head to work, finding anacondas and jaguars on the streets because you know amazon, and in latin america there isn't anymore climate than hot and humid, there is no savannah, no deserts, no tundra, not just jungle and more jungle. The worst case was in an episode of "How i met your mother" Robin went to argentina, and the friging described it as a jungle, and the people as indigineous and latino (Argentinian have a much higher european descent than the rest of latin america) and people were like playing bongos and stuff and it was really innacurate.

I think you mean South and Central Americans, here every Latin American is apparently a Mexican (that's an annoying stereotype as well.
