The Mad Hatter Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I used to go to Harpers Ferry, WV, and the people talked very normal. I used to know some girls from WV who talked more British than American. I don't know what part of WV they were from. I was very interested in Harpers Ferry because I am interested in hauntings and went on ghost tour. I saw lots of outdoor activities and sporting in WV in that town. The people were friendly. :huskyhug: <3 My dad lives there part time because he works in Washington. I can't wait to go up there and visit.

Destrokk Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I've never heard that Germans are stinky. D: The stereotypes about West Virginia really suck. Pretty much everyone assumes that we're all violently racist and really, really stupid... No people think mexicans are stinky :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK8 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 New Zealand's stereotypes are awful, but 99% of the country is exactly like them :( and it's the Rugby World Cup which has made everything worse... Oh is that right,what are some of those stereotypes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neonhorn22 Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 No people think mexicans are stinky :disappointed: I live in a town with a big Hispanic population. Quite a few of my neighbors are Hispanic and they always smell of fresh laundry detergent when I see them and talk to them. So, I have NEVER believed that stereotype! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambergris Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 No people think mexicans are stinky :disappointed: Not in my country... Actually, people here believe in that stereotype for European people... Like they don't like much to shower... And I've heard lots of stories. :P Ah, and the stereotype regarding Colombian people... You must have heard about it... People think you're a drug dealer and that your country is really terrible (when is not THAT bad). Oh... And you're asked for a freaking VISA almost everywhere you go... It's kind of sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trinest Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I like how the most complaints are from Americans- which is a sterotype in itself. As for Australian ones, we don't really have any. Well we do- but their more fun and can be taken with a laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauriane Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 Everybody hate French people. Everytime I go abroad and tell people "I'm French" they're like "aaaaah go awaaaaay, i hate french people !" I don't really know why, so I've just stopped telling people I'm French :blank: And the stereotypes... Hm, nothing really bad I suppose. Recently someone told me that they feel like we think France is the only country in the universe and don't give a f*ck about the rest of the world. I've never been that way... So yeah :blank: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck kottke Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 As long as you wear a Raspberry Beret, you're OK in France. ;):beatnik: :P Really though, I think there are fewer stereotypes here about France, simply because there is more widespread knowledge about France. Liberia is beautiful in Summer:sunny:, but the winters are just to cool! I think it's only the ignorant and those who want to stereotype who do so, since most of the time the stereotypes are either simplistic, broadly brushed on everyone when only a small number of individuals fit the stereotype, or simply outdated by a century or more. The more modern and aware we become of one-another, the less different from one-another we realize that we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fooby Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 That British people have huge teeth, I mean, what's the real difference between big teeth and big other bodily features? I don't see you foreigners taking huge bites out of apples, do you? Huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Actually, I haven't heard the stereotype about big teeth, so much as that they have bad teeth. I'm not saying that you do (not at all). Oh, and yes, I actually do take big bites out of apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Modric Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes people think when you are a professional footballer playing internationally for Croatia you are a spoilt boy who forgot where he came from, but I remember the fighting and the deaths of my Croatian friends and they all say "Stop kicking that ball around there is a war on", and I say "NO FRIENDS, because one day I will play for an independent Croatia", and now I do :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petit Prince Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I like how the most complaints are from Americans- which is a sterotype in itself. I've met a lot of Americans since I started my Masters and there are students from all over the world at my university. No one here dislikes Americans or looks down on them, if anything, people are jealous because most of them are from much more exciting places than we are.

Wyrd Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Luka are you sure that you are from Kroatië and not from Maaskantje (The Netherlands)???
