I bet you thought this was going to be a thread about how stereotypes are bad for the world and how kids today are too ethnocentric!
nothing of the sort!
what stereotypes have you experienced or heard about from parts of the world and how true did they turn out to be?
Switzerland: They're a bunch of liberal fruitcakes.
This one's true (case in point: http://www.maj.com/gallery/metalsluguy/MISC/swissrest.gif)
France: Stuck up, whiny, disagreeable pansies. The french are definitely not whiny or disagreeable. But much as I love French culture, they are rather stuck up as a nation. And yall can't win wars (sorry Vaxer)
The United States: Stupid (not true) stuck up (true) ethnocentric (true) ugly (present company excepted) crude (not true)
The Far East: primitive (definitely not true) poor (not as true as many think)
and so on
and what are you're opinions on stereotypes and ethnocentricity in general.
on a side note, You can visit parts of the world and go to the neighborhood starbucks, or you can (try to) do as the locals do
comments?
