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.

TBH, as a foreigner living in The States, it's more true than I wished it was.

It's not a "statement of fact". If it were, then I would be fat and own guns, because for it to be FACTUAL, *every* American would need to be fat and own guns. I am within the NIH's "healthy weight" chart for my height and I don't own guns. A stereotype, however, is "a standardized mental picture that is held in common by members of a group and that represents an oversimplified opinion, prejudiced attitude, or uncritical judgment". So, it's a stereotype, not a "fact".

true except the perception we are all gun nuts who think we can shoot whatever. I'm fat. I own guns (mostly family hand downs). But I DON'T run around like Yosemite Sam. In fact I should do some target shooting with my pistol for proficiency because it's been years since I even fired one of my guns.

It was the fact that American citizens had access to guns that dissuaded Admiral Yamamoto (the architect of the Pearl Harbor attack) from considering an attack on the US mainland. He said something to the effect of "if we try, there will be a gun behind every blade of grass."

To everybody saying this is actually true, that's fine. A little advice: leave us alone and let us die. We cannot possibly ever change. I can't stop us from dressing less well than you'd like and asking stupid(if entirely honest) questions when we travel, so some more advice: leave us alone and let us die.

What many fail to realize/remember is that the USA is a toddler compared to just about any European or Asian or African country. We are simply going through the growing pains that most if the rest of the world went through 100, 200, or more years ago. But in this day and age of the internet and instant news, our suffering, ignorance, and mistakes are instantly broadcast for the entire world to see, judge, and comment on. Yes, sometimes I am ashamed of what is happening in my country. But I am still PROUD to be an American. If you don't like it, you are free to leave. And THAT is what makes us the country everyone wants to

My experience is that the people in Paris, Bordeaux, Lyon and Marseille *are* mostly rude. The rest? People are kind and helpful. In the major cities they expect foreigners to be fluent in French, and if you only string two French words together, they refuse to speak anything else than French. The rest of the country will try everything to understand each other. (The younger generation does speak at least reasonable English, but the older generation hardly had English in school. But they're trying)
