“We Don’t Exist”: 40 Hilarious Stereotypes About People’s Home Countries

ADVERTISEMENT

Ah, cultural stereotypes. The notion that all Parisians are mean snobs, all Americans are dumb, and the Irish – rowdy alcoholics. As long as it is all in good humor and not used for propagating unnecessary hate, what’s the harm in poking fun at some common traits the locals have?

In this thread, people started sharing the things about their home countries that people stereotype most often. One person asked others to share their experiences, as they posted a question: “What is the main stereotype about your country?” Funnily enough, while people debunked most of these silly stereotypes, some, they said, are true.

Hi there, fellow pandas! As a person (over)educated both in social sciences and literature, I'm most interested in how we connect and behave online (and sometimes in real life too.) The human experience is weird, so I try my best to put its peculiarities in writing. As a person who grew up chronically online, I now try to marry two sides of myself: the one who knows too much about MySpace, and the one who can't settle and needs to see every corner of the world.

I love memes, funny, and cute stuff, but I'm also into social issues topics. Despite my background in communication, my heart belongs to visual media, especially photography. When I'm not at my desk, you're likely to find me in the streets with my camera, checking out cool exhibitions, watching a movie at the cinema or just chilling with a coffee in a cozy place

True canadian one: most of us are super insane over hockey. Ice skating itself is dangerous, (I witnessed someone break an arm from simply slipping while skating), but with a bunch of people who act like feral animals because of a sport, I’m surprised that it isn’t the leading cause of death. There weren’t even helmets made for hockey until someone’s major artery in the neck got sliced by an ice skate- the guy survived- and my school likes the Toronto maple leafs more then our own citys (far better) hockey team

Check out way below for my facts correcting US stereotypes that the neo-Soviets of BP tried to censor, but another false US stereotype: we actually have way fewer police. Not only are there fewer per capita (242 vs 349), but per capita isn't even a fair measure since low-density areas require far more police per capita. Oh yeah, and cops are WAY more likely to kill white people than black people. Yes, they kill more black people per capita, but way fewer per law-enforcement incident.

I love that you're so upset about less and less people buying into this USA#1 nonsense, that you failed to realize the real problem while collecting your cherry-picked data: US cops are far more likely to KILL people instead of deescalating and neutralizing situations as law enforcement in civilized countries do.

People don't think you don't have healthcare insurance. They think you don't have universal healthcare, and that all too often people still end up with large bills regardless of their healthcare insurance. Also, let's not pretend guns aren't a problem, whether or not it's 'people killing each other like crazy' it's still a very significant problem.

If I understand the copy and paste correctly... add all the different groups of people together and you have a horribly high murder rate. You don't appear to have the total number of people killed by hispanics, only the black people killed by hispanics. To quote some figures: The U.S. homicide rate was 10.5-7.9 per 100,000 population compared to Europe's less than 2 per 100,000.

I love that you're so upset about less and less people buying into this USA#1 nonsense, that you failed to realize the real problem while collecting your cherry-picked data: US cops are far more likely to KILL people instead of deescalating and neutralizing situations as law enforcement in civilized countries do.

People don't think you don't have healthcare insurance. They think you don't have universal healthcare, and that all too often people still end up with large bills regardless of their healthcare insurance. Also, let's not pretend guns aren't a problem, whether or not it's 'people killing each other like crazy' it's still a very significant problem.

If I understand the copy and paste correctly... add all the different groups of people together and you have a horribly high murder rate. You don't appear to have the total number of people killed by hispanics, only the black people killed by hispanics. To quote some figures: The U.S. homicide rate was 10.5-7.9 per 100,000 population compared to Europe's less than 2 per 100,000.
