Default Cultural Stereotypes

Or National Stereotypes, whatever...

Some are funny, some are based on truth, some are just down right insulting.

Really, just talk about the ones that make you laugh or the ones you find insulting.
However, feel free to say which ones that regard where you live or your culture that make you laugh.

I tend to find most redneck jokes insulting, myself.
But one that means me laugh is "you mess with men and you mess with the whole trailer park!"

What I find insulting the most is how people assume that all rednecks are barefoot, beer-drinkin', NASCAR-crazed, Country-lovin', Yankee-hatin', know-nothing hicks.

Some others are that not all New Yorkers are assholes. I hardly met anyone who was rude to us when we went... up until we got to The Bronx, then it went down hill.

I also hate how people think everyone from Texas is a cowboy/cowgirl.
Trust me, this is so far from the truth.


So, what about you guys?

I find the most obvious one for me hilarious

Because I'm Australian I must
- have a pet kangaroo ... not true ofcourse
- live in some country town with a funny name ... Melbourne (where I live) was originally going to be called Batmania after the man (John Batman) who discovered the place for settlement.
- Apparently we're drunk most of the time
- We fight everyone

... The list goes on

In generations before for your blood stained glory

We live off greasy fish and chips and have crap food

All the teenagers are chavs and gang members

We speak like the queen and use spiffing at least once in a sentence

All our accents sound the same or we have the 'harry potter' accent (which is actually sort of my accent but mine is less posh)

We booze all day long in the pubs

We all know the queen, met princess diana, live next door to david beckham and are BFFE's with kate moss

We are dirty and have bad taste in clothes (Ok the men totally do, especially when they go on holiday)

We are either posh, prim and dont know how to let loose or we a wild and living in a council flat with 7 kids all of whom have different fathers

We are football obsessed

We have a weird sense of humor known as 'british humor' (British humor ftw!!! <3)

The rain never stops

We have tea everyday consisting of tea and scones

We are hall red haired and have freckles.. seriously wtf??

We are really rude and unfriendly

We are also rude cause we use the words 'loo' and 'toilet'

So basically we are either really posh or a bunch of hooligans xD








♥. Just another day like any other,
Nothing in the sky said run for cover,
There was no parade,
No lights flashing,
No songs to sing along the way. ♥
