The stereotypes

tomaszwit · 07-30-2007, 03:29 PM

I want to ask you: What are the main stereotypes of other nations in your country???

In Poland we have few of them. They are not usually nice. Some of them are:
-Scottish are mean
-Russians are usually drunk

Of course don't take it too serious. We don't really think that.

Can I invert your question?

I know that people of other country connect Italy to mafia and spaghetti...but Italy is more and more!!!!!!

Hope not to hurt anyone...I know that Italian people think (...or "say"!) that:
Russian and vodka is a perfect binomial;
English are without sense of humor and unkind;
Swiss are precise in everything;
...nothing more for now!

see you!

I know, I hate when people assume most Italiano's have mob ties. I blame our own US and the movies, well what can we do. Especially the ones like The Sopranos. I just ignore it.

Sadly we have so many people here in US and they dont even get along. Even our own people stereotype themselves! What a shame.

I still say TV & movies & comedians are the blame.

Ciao! I still love my Italiano pals in Italia no matter what!

Cinema,

I think I can say this on the forum as I know there are guys and ladies reading.

That reminds me of what they say about Latin men and Italiano's being very attractive and sexy to women. I have to admit where I am its true!

and we do know how to dance good mambo, salsa, cha-cha, merenque, etc. We like to dress well and use great colognes, (I do, Armani only)

and yes we are quite vain, I know I am! If you are good looking then why not express it I say!

It's one way to meet ladies. I have no complaints yet.

That wasn't so bad was it?

Cinema,
