Smear Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Some people think Australians see Kangaroo's wild everywhere they go, and that we ride them to schoo or w/e. If you think that, we don't. Just so you know. ;P Discuss shiznit like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourmaline Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 Stupid things like snide remarks, too, Frunk! No, really. That wasn't even cool. I think people think those things when they truly know little to nothing about a place. They may resort to stereotypes to put down a place because of their (the person's) low security. That is, after all, what the main reason for being do bashful usually is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Nothing Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 People think everyone in America is 400 lbs, rich, spoiled and an ass. Actually, America is undergoing poor economic conditions.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I live in Southern Texas. I went up to Illinois to visit my Aunt and her 3rd Grade class. They were wondering where my boots and 10 gallon hat were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hexcalibrate Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 i just find it annoying that the view of all can't do anything, i'll give you a example: [spoiler='my story']one day i was in a clinic for disabled people, my mum gave me a banana for lunch and she then went to the bathroom, and a american cleaner stopped my mum and said "are you sure you should leave him alone with that, he might hurt himself" WTF! HOW CAN YOU HURT YOURSELF WITH A BANANA!, and what really annoyed me was that I HATE BANANA'S!!![/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desu the Blue Nerd Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 I don't know squat about making cheese and I don't eat cheese on a daily basis. I rarely even eat cheese. The only time I've gotten this problem though was in when I was vacationing in Florida when I was younger. Never on my burger too. And I'm not fat. Lazy yes. American/Wisconsin stereotype.

Christian Exodia Posted June 20, 2011 Report Share Posted June 20, 2011 You know... people in Wisconsin think people in Texas are Cowboys and Cowgirls, and Davy Crocket. People in Florida might take the "Cheesehead" thing seriously... America can be stupid sometimes. It's because we assume before we know, then deny the truth. And I am an American. I can admit I occasionally assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stereotypes can often be correct in judging the majority of a large population, but some stereotypes like Australians riding kangaroos are just so stupid you question where they even came from.
