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)

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.

If I understand the copy and paste correctly... add all the different groups of people together and you have a horribly high murder rate.

Stereotypes are typically based in fact. That's how they become a stereotype.

Most of these are picture-book stereotypes (perhaps archetypes is better) rather than real stereotypes, I think. How many adults really think Scottish people = kilts and haggis, for example?

There are quite a few adults that think Scotland is just kilts, haggis, bagpipes, and impossible to understand accents.

The Netherlands, there are mills everywhere, we walk on wooden shoes and we skate to work and school in winter.

No Dutch, recklessly driving their bikes and doing d***s while eating cheese and fried stuff out of the wall (yes, wall, not mall)?

US - Trump. Sadly 40 percent of the country is like this, so it's uncomfortably true.

not country, but states within the U.S..."do you walk lopsided" or "is one leg shorter than the other?" (living in the mountains)
