Hey, have I just found an offensive British stereotype?
No, but if you said the exact same thing about black people then you'd probably have gotten a warning from the mods about being racist.
Makes me wonder:
Do US Americans feel offended by the stereotype of them being fat, noisy and undereducated?
I'm just trying to find patterns... Poles get offended by stereotyping them as stupid or thieves but not so much with the stereotype of overtly devout Catholic drunkards.
I'm an American and the fact that Americans are fat and only eat at fast food because they are too lazy to cook does not bother me one bit. I defy these stereotypes.
I have never heard of the other two stereotypes but I have heard of Americans being bad drivers. Hard for me to disagree when there are places in the US where people will honk their horns all the time at you for not stopping on the tracks or not going 0.1 second when the light turns green and everyone going 90 and tailgating your ass when the speed limit is 70. But bad drivers exist in every country, just look at Russia.
