I'm a white brazilian welp
American: Well I'm white and I speak only one language (fluently). Other than that I'm pretty un-american. [editline]12th May 2013[/editline] I know all of the countries in all continents except europe by name and location, and I am pretty worldly.
German: + I love Sauerkraut + I love Bratwurst + I drink too much + I'm good at marching + I appear to always sound insulting and/or rude - I do not have blonde hair - I have not conquered all of Europa - My eyes aren't very blue anymore, mostly gray-blue now - I almost never say [I]"jawohl!"[/I] - I am not a Nazi, but I have radical political views
Scottish I've been mistaken as English because of my voice quite a few times, i have a pretty faint Scottish accent, i rarely bother with the slang. Not much of a drinker, not much of a fighter (so, no Glasgow Kissing for greeting people as chances are i'd die), have worn a kilt twice but i don't own one. Hate Haggis. I do swear a fucking lot though and surprisingly, i do have a soul since i must have dodged the ginger gene.
Canada (British Colombia) + A lot of weed use + Love Kraft Dinner (Although I've developed an allergy to the cheese powder, this upsets me greatly) + Love maple syrup + Generally polite, non-aggresive + Really like Rush - Don't care about hockey at all Stoner + Daily weed use, with a few exceptions when I have to get something done - Productive (when not high) - Full post-secondary education - Don't really know "shady" people + Love pink floyd
Part Jewish(not greedy,rich,etc.) Part Gypsy(not a kleptomaniac) Part Ukrainian(not radioactive) Part Czech/Slovakian(no idea about stereotypes here) Part Irish(not alcoholic) Part German(not a Nazi or a socialist or anything.) American (not fat nor particularly patriotic.) So I think I'm my own person mostly.
I'm half-Irish and originally from the area around Boston. No idea if there's a stereotype for that so I'll go with what I know about both. +I'm loud +I'm aggressive +I wear a hoodie and shorts when it'd be okay to go with one or the other +Compared to everyone else I know I have a pretty strong accent, but only on some words Maybe unrelated but I have a couple blackthorn walking sticks -I don't drink -I don't cruise around looking for trouble -I can pronounce my Rs So middle-ground I guess, assuming there is even a stereotype for me.
Swedish Stereotype. Ups: - Introverted, but only towards strangers. - I fucking love meatballs and surströmming. And Smörgåsbord. - I'm blonde and blue-eyed. - I listen to a ton of rock and metal. - I love IKEA. Like, 90% of my furniture is IKEA. Downs: - I'm not exactly a muscle-mountain mead-chugging viking. - I don't have a Swedish accent when I speak. I sound more American.
I don't really know what stereotypes would apply to me, as I live in the part of Oregon where the hicks, hipsters, and neckbeards mash into a convoluted mass of idiocy, so I'll go with the ones I think would apply. Pros: +Obesity +Firearms +I'm too apathetic to shave +Own a fedora. +Hate Dufur +Ignorant Cons: -Don't drink or smoke -Loathe the "CRISHUN NASHUN" maniacs -Am not militant right-wing -Hate actually wearing hats -Am not dextrous and cannot construct shit -Know next-to-nothing about computers or programming, yet still more than the average hick -Hate fast food in general -Hate Dufur Neutral: Hate Dufur
Korean here: -Was born in America -Don't have a 'fob' accent. -Never achieved a perfect 4.0 GPA -Attend a low-end university -Poor -Don't listen to K-Pop -Hang out more with people other than Koreans -Speak entry-level Korean, but terrible at writing and spelling -Terrible at SAT (Went through cram school and nothing changed) -Terrible at StarCraft 2 -Relatively know how to do math (up to Calculus, but not that smart) Basically I'm the opposite of my own nationality.
+Sometimes annoying accent +Deep and loud voice +Miss out words or say "I go there" instead of "I'm going there" due to laziness +Overweight +Say "bro" and "aw" often -Not unintelligent -Not aggressive -Not good at sports
Skinny American reporting in. But I'm also a southerner. And one time at a family reunion I got hit on by a cousin.
I'm a cuban. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/Z8Mtpmw.jpg[/IMG] This photograph of me should be enough to explain that I am not the cuban stereotype. This [URL="http://i.imgur.com/e4OOu.jpg"]one is more recent.[/URL] Do not listen to that reggaeton junk (this includes their dancing and disturbing parties), I do not smoke anything but to be fair most cubans do not smoke either despite everyone believing it because there are cigars that are made here. I'm not a terrorist and I do not have any intentions of releasing 70 year old invalid nukes upon the US. Also, believe it or not, the people often do not like their dictators. I don't know why everyone assumes that all Cubans worship their dictator, if we did he wouldn't be dictating. I do not like large rumps. I'm clearly not black nor native skinned, I'm very pale as I'm of royal Spaniard blood. While most in my family are religious, I am not. I do not call people "chico" or refer to my fere as "compadre". I do not even live in Florida. [IMG]http://www.coffeegroot.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/big_cuban_cigar.jpg[/IMG]
I'm Norwegian and I don't like to ski. There goes my chance of fitting the stereotype :downs:
British and prefer coffee over tea so yeah, not too much fitting the stereotype.
Irish + Catholic + Pretty lucky, I'll do nothing and things just kinda work out for me + Swear a lot + Fuckin love potatoes and bacon + Drink lots of tea + Enjoy the odd drink - But I don't drink that much, compared to people I know - 6 foot 4 - Don't beat women +/- I'll generally try and prevent fights. Nobody's really that unreasonable that they can't be persuaded not to fight, but if they insist on fighting, I'd oblige.
I'm English and I guess I count as a teenager +Don't own a burberry cap +Not orientated around Tea +Don't own a top hat or bowler hat +I have decent teeth I'm alright I guess.

Poland: I play free-to-play games, complain a lot, drink alcohol quite often and I want to leave this country as soon as possible. On the other hand, I don't drink as much at others, don't want to live in the UK, I own a smartphone with a screen bigger than 3,5" and I try avoid using Polish when playing online games. Oh, and I do not steal cars from Germany.
I'm Dutch, don't do/like drugs, haven't used a bicycle in years, and I live on the other side of the world from my nation.
I'm Greek +I love souvlaki +I'm bad with my money +I have a molon labe tattoo +Mama's boy +Study philosophy +Family owns restaurants +Grow wild hair easily +Own a few ancient Greek weapons and sets of armor ... this is more eye opening for me than it is you, believe me.

Swedish. +I'm kind of good with video games and stuff +I love meatballs -I dislike IKEA -I speak fluid english
Have decided to re-do mine after a bit of though. None of these are meant to be offensive, just using stereotypes that I found when I googled. As an Australian: -Don't enjoy the outdoors +Friendly +Swear, a lot -Hate sunlight -Hate heat -Hate the beach -Not a criminal -Don't have BBQs much -Don't say Crikey +Deep Australian accent +Use Australian slang quite a bit, even to people of other countries. +Fucking love cars -Wear long pants all the time +Slightly racist -Don't ride kangaroos -Don't live in the bush, or know how to survive by myself on the bush. As someone who provides IT help: -Not Asian -Has some social skills -Do more than asking "Have you tried turning it off and on again" +Know how to fix most pieces of technology As a bisexual: -Not a slut -Not afraid of actually being gay -Have been in a loving relationship -Don't like threesomes +Love puns Car nut: -Don't know a massive deal about cars +Love to drive +Want to own more than one car -Only know how to do basic work on my car -Don't hoon around when driving (Much) As a furry (I'm so sorry for this) -Dislike anything sexual to do with the fandom -Find fur suiting a little weird -Not a neckbeard -Don't want to fuck animals +Have a Fursona +Attend meets +Regularly commission artwork. I break quite a few of my sterotypes I think.
