How is your Country Displayed

[dark-amon]

Norway, we usually have the stereotype of beeing passive and always working for world peace. However in recent years Israel have tried to accuse us tenfolds of times that we are an antisemite racist people since the number of norwegians now supporting the occupation of Gaza is a decreasing minority. Why do I mention this? Because it seems that many(specially americans, sorry but that's what the numbers say)belive them. So now we will have 2 sterotypes: Passive peaceloving hippies, and the 4th reich.
I like the stereotypes it seems the danes have of us, they think everyones freakin' rich because our beer's so expensive.

 

[higgs20]

A bunch of fat racist rednecks driving SUV's and own 20 guns.
You can hazard a guess of which country I'm talking about.

Switzerland?

 

[havass]

according to some, americans are fat, redneck assholes

Then those some are right.
OT: Singapore? Never.
On the bright side, we have a Ubisoft branch here, and they worked on Assassin's Creed 2 and Brotherhood.

 

[AfroTree]

I prance aboot in the Highlands hunting for haggis!

Och aye!

wait there aund i'll get ma bagpipes!

 

[Betancore]

Well, they seem to think we're all bogans. And we wear hats with corks and fight crocodiles and ride kangaroos to school and all that.

 

[unindexedsearchengine]

country: Europe's biggest fresh water lake.rolling hills,beautiful lowlands and... mentally disabled politicians and the worst economy in history

state/province whatever you want to call it: well,not much here

city: "the city of kings" represented by a big stone apple,an every other city calling us fat LOTR name copiers..... on the other hand we have nice pie......

Swedes: Blonde, tall, blue eyes and crappy english skills. We eat meatballs every day, ride polar bears on the streets and commit suicide at a higher rate than other countries due to the constant darkness 6 months of the year.

I actually had a teacher when I lived in the UK who once asked me "Are you really Swedish?" Me: "Uh, yeah." Her: "But you're not blonde!" "..."

 

[Iron Lightning]

Well, in Colorado: we all swear a lot and generally take things much too far. [http://www.southparkstudios.com/]

 

[Ekonk]

Right now? At fucking war.

At least as far as Rio de Janeiro goes.

Yeah, so I heard. Sounds pretty serious. Any inside details?

OT: We're Dutch, we do drugs. Which is hardly true. There are some stoners here, and I enjoy the occasional joint when friends have some pot, but if I were to guess I'd say that 80% of the people here never touched a drug in their lives. But softdrugs are still legal though, so I suppose that stereotype is not really unfounded.

 

[brunt32]

England- Mad scientists and rich snob normally

I think we come off quite well compared to alot of other country's stereotypes

Rich snobs really? I feel we usually come across as a bunch of poor bastards.

 

[Gerrawn]

I'm from Sweden and my country is covered with ice and snow.

 

[PoliceBox63]

Ireland.

Need I say more?

Ninja'd to be sure...

 

[Lordmarkus]

Denmark.
Asia thinks we have polar bears in the streets.

Middle east thinks we are insensitive assholes.

The west. Hmmm, not sure. But Sweden thinks we´re racists. But who care about those moonshining hillbillys.

We don´t contribute to popculture as much as others. But when we do the result is Hitman and unfortunally Kane and Lynch. Movie Buffs may also know Bille August and maybe Susanne Bier.
And a Dane designed the Operahouse in Sidney

And concerning your flattering example of your neighbours, than we're completly entitled and right to that opinion. I mean really encouraging our only rascist party to stand up for their disgusting values? Way to go to push the boundaries of democracy.

OT: Hmm, Socialists, blonds with big bombs, piracy and sexual freedom. Yeah, that's about it.

 

[fgdfgdgd]

A Dingo stole my baby...according to Americans. Considering i have not fathered one i highly doubt it. As for the whole 'kangaroo riding, crocodile eating, wombat hugging, gun shooting, knife having' well, actually most of those are true for me except riding kangaroos, not to say i haven't tried, living out in the country (small rural town) til i was 10 did my skill collective wonders.

 

[DethVanXan]

Zimbabwe. Who here's even heard of it?

Not suprisingly, it gets very little attention in films. We're usually represented the same as South Africa; racist mercenaries.
Danny Archer from Blood Diamond for example. Then there's all the mercs from District 9.

 

[captaincabbage]

Canada?

Poorly and stereotypically, if at all.

Where is it displayed? All Ive ever heard of Canada is awesome weather, really cool people and good scenery. Tho I am from Australia, and Canada and Aus are like bros. Same tases in food, comedy etc. ;P

OT: I've never had a real problem with they way Australians are portrayed in Europe and the Americas, since we'll either be shown as buff, tanned surfers, or backwards, sunburnt hillbillies. Inbetween I believe lies the truth.
I do never get tired of hearing how easy it is to get laid in Europe as an Aussie tho.

 

[greenice]

Romania
I don't think we have stereotypes since probably most of the world never heard of it and if it heard it probably never gave it any importance.So none.
P.S.Actually the Italians think were all gypsies so I suppose that counts.

yes, enjoy the gift.

And i´ve been living in sweden for 6 years building my statement on facts, how long have you spent in Denmark? Jævla svenska.

Dracula land!! Home of Vlad the Impaler, but that's probably something to be proud of.

 

[greenice]

Yeah I forgot that you guys are so into Dracula,for us he's just some random king that you learn of at history and then forget about until you go to its castle(and we all seem to go there at some point of live for some weird reason) and then forget again,so it's not that big of a deal for us.
