What are some of the sterotype you have about other countrys in your country.
whether it people or landscape
americans think austraila is all desert or that all british british people are ugly
now try not to offend people

Americans think:

Canadians live in igloos
Canadians have dog sleigh for cars
Canadians have snow all year long


Stereotype for Americans: Ignorant.
Example: How many of you hate what Bush did?
and how many of you supported him till he was shown different?

Yes.....

americans are ignorent
we blame the president(any that is ) for stuff he cant even do(like declare war, and make laws)
congress has all the true power

England: Drinking tea all day .
Japan: Bad crooked teeth
China: dog eater , rat fetus eater ( well this is more true than stereotype ) buck tooth , squinty eye ( oh hey! thats what some people think Cathay concept art should look like i heard )
Australia : Criminals
New Zealand : Moe sheeps and cows than humans?
Africa : Only black people lives there
Canada: we like hokey ( er... not particularly , not anymore than incest hillbillies represent Americans )
We say "eh" maybe french speakers do , i for one never hear anyone say EH here. Now there is a possibility of confusion here...
There are tons of asians here, and they do say eh? but its not the same meaning.

Actually, a fair few people seem to think that Canadians eat seal meat and have oil-powered TVs. Or maybe I'm thinking of Alaskans. Meh, you're all crazy up there.

England: My true people, I shall rejoin you someday.
Japan: Techno-freaks.
China: Poor communists.
Australia: Criminal country bumpkins (this really, really grinds my teeth).
America: Like England, but fatter.
New Zealand: Awesome (the natives), thick-headed sheep-shaggers (the whites).
Africa: Poor black people. I feel good about giving money.
Wales: Dirty sheep-shaggers, see also New Zealand.
Scotland: Tartan-wearing transvestites.
Ireland: Drunkards and terrorists.
Middle-Easterners: Terrorists.
Germany: Tightass conservatives/parent councils.
France: Scum who couldn't fight the Nazis.
Italy: Lots of moustaches and pizza.
Spain: Greasy scum who killed Central America.

I can't put it more frankly than that. It really is what a lot of people I know think of them.

Thats cause you live on the side that everyone from the rest of Canada hates, the West Coast.

Nearly everyone in my hometown has played hockey except for the British kid who moved here from england.

Most people say eh though you have to be listening for it to realise its there.

There are a ton of Asians in the city. The only ones in my town own the Convenience store and sell minors cigarettes. (Though we think thats cool cause its cheaper than paying one of the smoker parents to buy them for us.)

What the rest of Canada Thinks about the East Coast

Pot Smoking Terrorist Hippie Asians who like to do drugs, hang out on mountaintops and gun down people for fun. Kinda like Toronto but with less rap music.

Might I also add that Italians are dirty traitors.

Lol, if we are simply Italian bashing then we should mention that they ran away from the French in WW II of all people....

I always order pizzas over the phone and pick them up myself so that the treacherous Italian scum can't rig a bomb in my pizza.

Now now, you got sent to that island for a reason.

Yeah, my mother moved here, hurr durr.

Oh I see, her brother came with her then, hence you? Got it.

My dad is from Ireland.

It's on bitch. You better lock your doors and board up your windows.

Oh no is he gonna tell me one of his limmericks then get round ye old fire and have a bit of a jam on the fiddle?

My dad died after having his throat ripped open by a carving knife and bleeding all over the lounge room floor.

And on that note....

Lock.
