i love cultural stereotyping, people are often offended by it, but thats just cus theyre probably from a culture thats continously stereotyped, cus im norwegian, and we're never stereotyped :(

whats your cultural stereotypes of others?
here are my stereotypes:

japanese: hard working and serious people, untill they get home and laugh their asses off to the insane shows they got. there's no failure in japan, only harakiri or success.

chinese: as hard working as the japanese, but they dont get to laugh when they get home, cus commie tv is never fun, its educational and boring. the chinese also know kung fu, every single one of them.

vietnamese: rice farmers.

australians: dirty dusty cowboys, indiana-jones types the lot of them.

indians/hindus: theyre born w a mustache, females wax their mustaches off. everything in india is done through massively coreographed song and dance. they also use their public transportation effectively: a taxi fits 25 indians, a bus fits 500 indians and a train easily fits two million indians. a traffic accident in india usually claims between one hundred and five hundred thousand lives.

afghans: shepherds and/or opium farmers, w that robe and a turban. ive yet to see an afghan village with anybody younger than 75.

iran: angry people, with an "offense-against-islam" radar constantly spinning on the top of their head. they have a squad ready to rally angry mobs, whenever someone in "the evil west" cracks a joke about islam. just watch: islam schmishlam! <---total taboo, to associate islam with yiddish. mobs are gathering, cities in flames!

israel: the crybabies of the planet earth. seriously. yes 6 million jews died during ww2, but 7 million germans died and 20 million russians died. EVERYONE died. lets all _move on_... jews have no monopoly in sympaty for death.

saudis: the real arabs. sheiks w expensive shades and gold-plated bmw's.

west-africans: AK-47's are probably the most common birthdaygift down there :]

kenyans and tanzanians: jambo! jambo bwana! happy rythmic people, who play drums and dance happy afro-dances.

italians: passionate people w too much grease in their hair. they LOVE their mamma's spaghetti.

spanish: they show italians the meaning of the word "passion". they also are the inventors of the word "MACHO". nuff said B)

turks: weightlifters, and bulky people. loud and obnoxious, but with a hilarious sounding language :]

russians: depressed people.

french: striped tight shirts, berets and poirot's mustache. add a glass of wine, a piece of cheese, and a baguette to that image. accordian music in the background, and someone repeating "pari, pari, mon cheri!"

beneluxians: obnoxious besserwissers, pumping technomusic in the background.

germans: clean, thin-haired pearly-white people, gayishly soft spoken, as they show you all the wonderfull innovations of their latest mercedes benz. "and heere vee got ze hat lifter, zis mechanism lifts your hat off your head, zo that you can concentrate on ze driving!"

scandinavians: naive little hobbits (tall tall hobbits...). ever since we stopped being vikings, and realized we can now get our asses kicked by any independent country, we have turned into the nicest and most innocent people ever. lame!

brits: stuck up snots. seriously. they eat hamburgers with knives and forks! and have tea with the burgers.

irish: drunk, dirty, poor.

brazil: SAMBA! even in the favelas. when they gun spray each others down, they do it to a samba soundtrack. yes they do, havent you seen "city of god"???

peru: poncho's and bowler hats. i dunno what they do. put on a poncho, bowler hat, and just sit around i guess.

mexico: poncho and a sombrero. otherwise, add a big mustache and see above.

americans: HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAHA no wait, what am i laughing for, theyre gonna be the end of us all, thats not fun :(

canadians: see above, except, the canadians arent a danger to anybody. maybe except those scary quebecois :)

YAY!! !!
I'm SO gonna get it :]

Obviously you've never heard Garrison Keillor, or any "Ole and Lena" jokes:

"Well, we tried the lutefisk trick and the raccoons went away,
but now we've got a family of Norwegians living under our house!"

Hmm. Most...um... "Polack jokes" we have around here usually don't get much more sophisticated than calling Poles stupid. But in a clever way.

Hahaha...I gotta laugh at the American one....because it almost seems true....:pale:

I guess I can't keep up with many cultural stereotypes but here goes...




China- A cat loving country....that is if you like them fried or grilled......

Germany- Beer, cleavage, and luxurious vehicles.

America- Cheap labor, cheap material, and cheap value meals.

Ireland- Lot's O' pubs and lot's O' lucky charms.

India- Marriage is a common practice as well as Bollywood and chutney.

Japan- Industrious nation that is simply mad for shock.

Mexico- Tequila, hot salsa, festivity, and long naps.

Norway- Hmmm......Norway.... :? Home of the Vikings?

England- Tea, crumpets, and time for a cricket match with the gents.


OK...better scat before someone gets offended...... :viking:
