National stereotypes

I Am Quebecois:

“I’m not a lumberjacques or a courrier du bois.
And I don’t live in a log cabin or eat pea soup or own a Jetta.
And I don’t know Pierre, Francoise or Marie from Quebec, although I am certain they smoke and drink wine.
I have a Premier, not a Prime Minister; I speak English and French, but only French to the English; and I pronounce it “a peu pres presque sur le point de ca et la plus ou moins autour de vers” not “about” or “a boot”.
I can proudly wear my “fleur de lis” on my license plate when I drive to the depanneur, I believe in peace keeping-I will keep the peace if you give me what I want; diversity, not assimilation (except for those pesky Quebec Anglos!); and that poutine is a truly proud and noble food.
A toque is a toque, a chesterfield is a canape, and it is pronounced “Quebecois”, not “Quebecker” or “Qwibecker”.
Quebec is the largest francophone land mass, the first nation of real hockey, and the best part of North America!
My name is Joseph, and I am Quebecois.”

America:

Fat, lazy, unhealthy, ADD, easily fooled.

I used to think there were some essential American characteristics, but now I think the country is just too huge and too diverse for there to really be any characteristics that hold uniquely true of Americans as a people.

The stereotype for the dutch people would be sex, drugs and tullips.

This isn't correct at all, most dutch people don't have tullips..

And cheese

NZ stereotypes?

Sheep, wife-beater, gumboots

(wife-beater = singlet)

Here in Australia all we do is throw shrimps on the 'barbie and listen to ACDC

Much of our original settlers came over on convict ships. If you come over here, watch your valuables.

The stereotype about the lebanese is that they live in tents in the desert, ride camels and wear turbans and burkas :S
Completely untrue...we don't have a desert in Lebanon and we have no camels . Hehe...and we wear modern clothes. Even in old times the lebanese had their own traditionnal clothes that were not abayas and turbans...
Some people actually asked my friends when they were travelling if we had TVs and internet and phones in Lebanon!!!!!!!! :S :S My friends were asked if they went to school when in reality the lebanese place great importance on education...the average lebanese speaks at least 3 languages and the majority go to university.

There are a lot of stereotypes...
