Ireland: everyone has red hair, is constantly drunk, only eats potatoes and wears green. No one says “top o’ the morning” ever except sarcastically. Not everyone is a farmer. Also: if you were born in the USA and your ancestor moved there in famine times (1845 to 1850) don’t call yourself Irish. You have Irish ancestry. All it does is piss of Actual Irish people. I think being Irish is having Irish citizenship. Thank you for putting up with my rant.

We live in huts, there are lots of wild animals, and we are super poor and hungry when we aren't criminalising each other. (South Africa). Facts: we have the tallest buildings in Africa, our largest city region (Gauteng) is about 14m people with 3-4 centres containing skyscrapers - more than London for sure. Our economy is about ⅓ of the entire continent. We are major suppliers of platinum, uranium, diamonds and gold. We have zoos. The wild animals are in game parks. 40% of our population is super-poor and about 5% are rich (two servants, three cars, large house, pool, overseas holidays... that kind of rich). Crime is however, high.

Crocodiles and alligators. Same same but different, right? Wrong. I feel like other countries don't realise how big crocs are. Crocs get up to 7-8 metres (no freedom units sorry). They could probably slap slenderman in the face and would definitely give SCP-682 a run for its money.

We don't do 'shrimp on the barbie.' I have never heard any Australian say this for any reason other than satire. I have however, had it said to me by various Americans, English people, British people, etc etc. Also, we don't really do shrimp either. We do prawns.

We don't all live in the bush/our country isn't just a giant desert. Well it kinda is (driest inhabited continent right here), but its certainly not all desert. I, for example, live right next to a giant river. And the NT isn't actually that dry.

Not everyone has a barbecue. We mostly use normal ovens.

Some people here don't like Vegemite

And finally, although im pretty sure that the only person who doesn't know this is my cousin, Drop-bears? Not a thing. Koalas can attack you but won't purposely drop onto you with the intent of causing you harm. Don't get me wrong though, when my cousin visits, and she will, once my b***h of an aunt finally dies/gets divorced, i will be maintaining the myth with a strong sense of genuine belief.

Sadly this stereotype has been fuelled by the media and the fact that Trump supporters seem more prone to doing stupid things that the media deem to be newsworthy, hence report on. In my experience, Americans have been super-polite (perhaps a little bit OTT but definitely better than being rude, but then Aussies tend to be quite familiar so that might explain the politeness seeming a bit much) and I know quite a few decent Americans. But then, I guess this is the entire point of this whole page (demystifying stereotypes)

USA: Everybody owns a gun and eats lots of red meat. I do not own a gun and am a vegetarian. I have family members who are vegan.

No one judges Americans for eating red meat??? Well maybe apart from yourselves.

Not all Egyptians are black, nor are they all white! It’s called racism. My own friends thought I was Canadian because of my skin and manners. I honestly kinda think that was a compliment tho…

We love our guns, but to us they're a tool, to be used cleaned and put away. A lot of us have 3 to 5.
We can go as low as -50 or worse without windchill, but that doesn't always mean a lot of snow, that's locational... and yes some areas can get 40 feet over a winter season.
We can also get as high as 50 in summers, we are a country of weather extremes.
Why yes, we do love our beer, maple syrup, back bacon, and poutine.
Sorry, not sorry... sorry is a multi-use word that has a law against using it as an admission of guilt. By the time we're all adults, we're conditioned to saying it . We use it instead of "what?" Or "pardon?".
We are polite, sure, but we're also sarcastic assholes... especially with our humour.
We are far more private about religion and politics than our neighbours to the south. Despite us being friendly and chatty.
Calling us part of the Americas is fine, but calling us American, is a deadly insult.
Our accents range from a posh Scottish or British, to a drawl, to French, it a fast mix of Scots and Irish. It varies a lot.

Never really thought of Canada being a gun culture although I suspect that depends on where in Canada you live.

Oh yeah, Americans are like, the worst country and all the people there are obese and they all swear and like, they're dumb and stuff...

No, we aren't. A lot of us are trying to improve our lifestyles and chose healthier options. They ALL swear? Well, like 50% of the population does, that is not most. Dumb? Most people who are on the internet in the US should not be there, we just don't argue, because that's pointless, we've learned from that.

I think that some of our TRUE flaws are healthcare, spoiled rich kids and their spineless parents, and too much reliance on factories, and gas/pollution related things. Please, other Americans, help us to make us not be viewed as a bad country.

I live in Texas in the USA and everyone thinks we own a dog, a keg of beer, a truck and at least ten head of cattle. I am from the neighboring state of Louisiana and I own none of the things I listed.

America: that regular citizens know everything there is to know about every country in the world, including cultural nuances, and that we as individuals can do something about problems that countries face. Because our government is involved in so much, it's easy to forget that regular citizens are working, taking care of our families and homes, etc., and it takes up all of our time, just like everywhere else. Solid odds that we learned little to nothing about your country in school, and we're now learning from the news (or worse, from social media) as adults. If the US is providing a country with any sort of financial aid, chances are it's my tax dollars paying for aid to a country that, even if I've heard of it, I can't find it on a map. Also, I'm not embarrassed if I can't find your country on a map, and I do not expect you to point out every single American state and territory on a map, because I think we all have better things to do.

I think we can all agree that this planet is choke full of dunderbutts. And that in reality we are not so far apart at the pot luck meal table of life. So perhaps we should spend time listening not just hearing (self included). Sending this with warmth, friendship, and a smile.
