I'm not sure if my stereotypes check with what other countries think, but let me try:

Stereotypical Brazilian:

1 - Catholic (but doesn't really give a damn).
2 - Loves footbal/soccer.
3 - Loves carnival.
4 - Dishonest.
5 - Poor.

Me:

1 - Atheist .
2 - Hate sports.
3 - Don't really dislike it (except for the bad music), but never participated.
4 - I'm not as far as the "brazilian way" is concerned.
5 - I'm statistically richer than most of the population, but I'm definitely not rich.

You aren't going to find the stereotypical american on here

But go to a Wal-Mart or Mcdonalds and you will see that the stereotype is there for a reason

Lol this post reminded me of all those "heavier" people with children on leashes... what a sad sad thing setting your kid up to be made fun of from the get go... sigh.

Now I wonder what the hell I'm doing here.

I don't know what the stereotype for a Swede is, beyond blonde and blue-eyed women (and I'm not much into blondes).

Maybe something like this? The stereotype I know for a Swede is that they're always happy and singing (and that their beats are fresh).

Anyhow, Finnish stereotypes:

1. This
2. Rude
3. Quiet
4. Full of themselves

Well, I don't fit 1. Dunno about 2 and 3, but 4 is a definitely.

Oooh, ooh, I wanna play!

Canadian stereotype:

1) Polite
2) Patient
3) Terrible taste in food (we're looking at you, poutine)
4) Wears layers


Real life:

1) MacGyver.
2) Captain Malcolm Reynolds.
3) Elwood Blues of the Blues Brothers.
4) Marty McFly.
5) Captain James Tiberius Kirk, you bastards.


Dammit. Canadians are actually a lot cooler than I thought.

5. Al Bundy :p

1. ABBA
2. Sunless winters
3. Meatballs
4. Look like garden gnomes and live in mushroom houses
5. Umm... ABBA


Anyway, let's try Canada.

1. Love beer
2. Love hockey
3. Polite
4. Gay
5. Top of head not attached to bottom of head and floats up and down as we talk


Me:

1. I'm drunk right now
2. Go Canucks!
3. Polite
4. Gay
5. Top of head firmly attached to bottom of head


4/5

That's mostly true... at least for crayfish parties, where the most important object is the spirit bottle and fucking tiny glasses (about 5 centilitres) to drink from, and that tune is being sung by the whole group just before draining the glasses in unison (after which they're filled up, some other similar tune is sung, and the glasses are drained again, repeat ad infinitum until everyone is falling asleep... all tunes refer to the drink in some more-or-less indirect way).

Suffice to say I don't fit in at said parties... I enjoy neither shellfish nor the singing.

Turkish streotype

-Genocider
-Rapist
-Murderer
-Sodomite

So running from all the things trying to kill you hasn't helped much then? Or have you just found a good hiding place from all the snakes and drop bears?
No, that's just your government. I also have to note that you haven't refuted any of those things about yourself. Are you in politics? :P

Here is my Canadian.

1. Very very polite.
2. Finish every sentence with "eh"?
3. Love hockey.
4. Wear toques.
5. Drink lots of beer.
6. Very clean cities.


Me:

1. I like to think I am polite.
2. Not EVERY sentence.
3. Who doesn't love hockey? Go Canucks!
4. Only in the winter, eh?
5. I hate beer. I am in the minority.
6. Debatable.

As to "eh", if not overused, it is a great short hand word. The Canadian Oxford Dictionary says "eh" is used for "ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed." Now isn't that polite?

Canadians love their winter sports. And who can blame us? After all, we all know there are four seasons in Canada: winter, winter, winter and road construction. It is road construction time here now and I am not wearing a touque.

That's still better than "like" as every other fecking word.
