Author Topic: Sterotyping: SOLVED (Read 8736 times)

I was wondering: 'what stereotypes are there about my culture?'
And then I thought: 'do people actually believe them?'

Therefore, I declare this thread open. First of all, England. People not from this area post a stereotypical view that you have of here, and people from this country (including yours truly) shall address them, stating truth value and so on.

- STICK TO THE COUNTRY! A poll will be asdded to determine what country when it changes.

- NO INSULTING! We are posting stereotypes, not our own views.

-Those answering the stereotypes should be clarifying for the country, not themselves.

- This should be a DISCUSSION, NOT A Q + A. Give longer replies, with reason and thought, NOT YES AND NO.

- ONLY CLARIFY A STEREOTYPE IF FROM THE COUNTRY IN QUESTION. This one is common sense, really.

English people have a tendency to shove cheese up their noses.

Please, guys, no insulting. Let's try to keep it clean.

And at the moment:
- One stereotype at a time
- The country stated ONLY.

The bad teeth thing stems back from the tudor times where because of the high amount of sugar consumed it was true

I do love a nice cup of tea, but TBH i have an unhealthy addiction to pepsi diet more than anything els

The last one's true if your english and over 35
