I love punctuality.

Not a DB worker then

Most workers aren't that happy about it. It is a mess carefully engineered by the upper management and politics, in particular putting car lobbyists on the board and similar antics.

Austrian?

I am Scottish, I own a kilt, and I love haggis and whisky. I have eaten the odd deep fried mars bar. I also like the sound of bagpipes (I have to concede that the Irish uilleann pipes are a much more versatile instrument BUT THEY'RE NOT AS POWERFUL)

I suppose I sort of fit the one about calling myself Scottish before I call myself British, though I don't consider the two incompatible if Scotland is part of the UK. I am both. Mostly I am just left in a terrible dilemma of whether to make fun of the French or the English more when the opportunity arises

More? Why bother with a tally? Neither would tell you the truth if you asked them which you'd made fun of more, anyhow. Besides, it's not like being "fair" would stop them from returning the favor, ad nauseum. 🤪

I'm Canadian and I meet all these sterotypes.

Then again, I am mostly Scottish Canadian, and 1/4 Irish.

Well you do have a whole New Scotland over there

As an American, bagpipes slap

Queues are fucking glorious.

Innit

Australia. All cunts.

Polite. Say sorry a lot, Hold the door for people, Not very patriotic until someone mistakes me for an American.

Same, except I’m American and would be happy if I was mistaken for one of my northern next-door neighbors

Tap for spoiler

(I’m from Minnesota)

Also from Minnesota here. For stereotypes, do you love the state fair? Are you friendly to strangers but don't exchange contact info? Do you still have friends from elementary school?

I'm from Argentina, and we're indeed the best culture/ people/ country :)

ps. in case you haven't met us before, we are proud and boast a lot.

A joke here in Brazil:
How does an Argentinian commit suicide? They climb on their ego and jump.

We love our hermanos 😁😁

I heat up the sauna 4-5 times a week.

Voi perkele!

Lithuanian 🙇‍♂️

I love cheeseburgers and am fat.

How many guns do you own?

Never enough.

Mexico or US. We need you to answer the gun question now

I woulda thought tacos/burritos would be the Mexico signifier. Cheeseburgers are fairly narrowly nationally stereotyped in my experience.

I think Mexico's problems with obesity are more likely to come from McDonalds & co instead of traditional food such as tacos. But maybe you are right.

I wear a lot of adidas and pirate stuff, plus I'm great at squatting

I suddenly want to see a slav who tries to squat but fails. Like, do you get your citizenship revoked?

Heels in sky, American spy

They take away your slivovitz

I need to do more yoga 😭

I speak with a funny accent and love cheese.

Yes.

I carry emergency Aromat at all times.

Ah, you must be from the home of Cheddar!

;)

I'm Northern Irish, I do love potatoes.

I've never blown up a car though.

Weak lungs?

inflatable car

I've never blown up a car though.

So far

Come out ye prettybunnys

… and fight you like a bunny?

Wot wot

I apologise a lot, and I LOVE poutine.

I also ski, snowboard, and play hockey.

Guilty. Sorry.

Take off, you hoser!

US:

  • Loud

  • Blunt (this one's regional, northeast)

  • Thinks with my heart

  • Leans individualistic in my own affairs (hyperindividualist political culture needs to die, but no amount of whinging will make me like multigenerational living as someone in that situation with no end in sight)

  • I lean on things

  • Meat-heavy diet

Americans are stereotyped as blunt?

The insistent of continually using redundant superlatives has always seemed to me to be conflict avoidance rather than anything else.

Northeastern Americans specifically are.

Yeah but only by other Americans. Southerners use passive aggression, midwesterners will politely wait for you to get a hint, and out west I haven't figured it out yet.

Maybe out west they just gasp

I always have Vegeta in my kitchen and often squat when chatting to my friends.

but are you tired?

*le tired

I like cheese, and I can be very direct. I also dislike boasting.

Netherlands

Correct.

Wisconsinite?

Nope.

I like my country's food and consider it the best, but I can acknowledge that some countries may have interesting ideas :P

I don't respect rules I consider dumb (earphones when cycling for example).

My work life is not important in regard to my personal life.

Edit: I like complaining

but I can acknowledge that some countries may have interesting ideas

Hmm, well definitely not French then.

We like pizza ! Even if we made our own kind of topping (fresh creme instead of tomato sauce can be really nice if you go with different cheeses). When we acknowledge something, it still needs some refinement to be good :P

Italy?

I forgot to add something: I complain quite a lot

Ah French. I have to say the french are the absolute masters of Google reviews because they will knock stars off and complain about everything.

Spaniard review: * * * * * Gente maja, birra buenísima y poca aglomeración

German review: * * * * Das Bar ist super zentral gelegen und gut erreichbar

French review: * A FUIR! Attention si vous venez a plusieurs et que pas tout le monde consomme ceux là ne doivent pas s'assoir sinon vous êtes humilier devant tout le monde vos amis famille etc. En gros vous venez a 4 et que 2 consomme vous allez recevoir les foudres de la patronne bref horrible accueil pas commercial et a la limite de la propreté! Moi ma fille a voulu m'offrir un café juste 5 mn avant que l'école ouvre ben du faite qu'elle ne consommait pas elle a humilier alors que c'est ma fille qui a payé le café et les bonbons pour les 2 petits et tout ça pour 5mn assis HONTEUX !

Sometimes the answer is almost "Vu et s'en tape" meaning "Ok, don't care"

Yeah I'm not french of course but it seems quite positive if the review refrains from starting with "à fuir!" and refrains from ending with "honteux"

We love people finding the worst reviews, always a pleasure to read them

Absolutely love all things potato. And Guinness.

I have two higher educations since tuition is free here. I'm in good health, since healthcare is also free. I took out 18 months of paternity leave with our firstborn since we're an equal society and my girlfriend (now wife) at the time was at uni.

I have no issues queueing, waiting for my turn. I consider all others to have as much rights as I do to anything, no one is ever "above".

... so I'm from ... ?

Heaven?

Norway?

Close! I understand what they're saying but it's hard not to laugh at the same time.

if you have a sauna, too, it's Finland

No I don't carry a knife :P

I didn't know this particular stereotype about Finland! Why is that?

Was going to guess Scandinavia but seeing not Norway or Finland.... Hej fra Danmark 🇩🇰

Unfortunately still living under the Swedish occupation but close enough! ;)

/Skåning

India?

I am an amalgamation of 2-3 stereotypes.

I listen to death metal and use Linux. With that information you can probably draw a picture of me good enough for a wanted poster.

Then think of a redneck from the Nordic countries and you're not far off the rest of my personality.

My intuition says Finnish.

... But my heart says to keep going.

Fun fact! That's how Finland was founded: they just kept going until they ran outta land to put a flag in.

I complain about being in bad situation, but still doing exact same thing that brought me into that

Russian?

No, Croatia

Russia has brought their red ink pen

American. Speak only english.

I love putting my feet up.

I'm an American and if I spend any time with your culture I am stealing something from it and modifying it to my tastes.

That’s a common thing

I say sorry a lot, eh?

Also, "Eh", there's no doot aboot that.

  • punctual
  • like giving helpful advise even if not asked
  • can discuss the definitions of single words

Bad at small talk. Good at personal distance. Lingonberry jam goes with everything.

I'm a fat American.

I am a Chinese guy, I do have thin eyes (they are not terribly wide either), I eat a lot of rice and msg, I played instrument when I was a kid.

Tell me a Chinese stereotype and I will tell if I fit.

I don't think I fit any stereotypes about Americans in general, but I'm a book of stereotypes on queer Americans.

Something regional, “Kaaskop”.

Nederlands!

I love to take naps in the middle of the day.

Spain?

Yes!

Only thing I can think of is liking to have a lot of holidays.

I'm from a Germanic colony, I fit much more their stereotypes.

i drive like shit and get turned on by independence movements

The stereotypes are as following

  • lazy
  • drinks a lot of alcohol
  • drinks coffee
  • eats cake
  • polite
  • very grumpy

I'm Czech and I'm fat and love food and some what handy. So I could probably fit the stereotype. Also Pilsner Urquell best beer.

Doesn't that literally translate to "old style thin-as-piss beer", though?

It translates to "the original source at Pilsen"

Blue hair pronouns antifa from the PNW

Ah, the stereotypical American being bad at geography.

PNW means Pacific Northwest.

Which is famously not a country.

Not yet.

The US is huge. There are so many distinct regions that it was pertinent to define which stereotype they were referring to.

That is correct. But even there they failed ... as the blue-haired-lgbt-stundent stereotype isn't a regional one, but an idological/poltical one. They exist in many countries.

I can see your point, but your delivery... Are you French?

No it's not THAT bad. German.

At least we can agree on that, haha!

Older white men actually like young filipinas. ;-)

My wife's family are the least stereotypical Filipinos you've ever met. Cool, distant, reserved, barely religious, quiet, don't sing or dance much, not that affectionate at all, no karaoke... And she picked me despite the fact she's a bit older than me.

So your wife does not meet stereotypes. But you do :)

We seem cold and distant but are very social if you do manage to get us talking.

We are very efficient even though we spend a lot of time in meetings and we all think it's very important to always have a consensus.

We think we are better than our neighbors but we love them as a family.

I break almost every stereotype from my country of origin... I'm quiet, on time (much to the dismay of people who give me a time 1hr before they actually expect me), and can't grow a thick/full beard to save my life.

Being an engineer is pretty stereotypical, although that's true for a ton of Asians, so not awfully specific.

I guess... speaking strictly in silly technicalities here, then the stereotype I "fit" is "terrorist" (on the basis that people where I live – the UK – are getting arrested and charged with terrorism for expressing support for Palestine/criticising the genocide.) Obviously, I'm being facetious here, but we live in an insane world.

For context, I've lived my whole life as a 'displaced person' / immigrant without a permanent home, so I don't feel that there is one place that has particularly shaped me or my personality.

Any guesses for where I'm "originally" from?

Edit: I'd actually never heard that stereotype about Filipinas! The only one I know (applies to all genders) is that you guys are incredible singers. :)

Hm, my mother is a Filipina who happened to marry an older white man, too.

That aside, I do have a DIY mindset and love to tinker with technology at home.

This is actually difficult. I don't really like guns or fast food, I speak multiple languages, I have advanced degrees, travel the world, I read, and ride a bike to work...

I guess I love good barbecues smothered in vinegar and chili sauce. Which again, is pretty common to many cultures

Burgr

I'm the sole consumer of US media in my entire country

.ml? Russian.

Gotta be KJU's Lemmy account

Close but think more bufferzone to china

So Japan, the Philippines or even Mongolia.

The island nation of Fückōff?

That one "moi oilan" guy from Braveheart?
