This topic is about stereotypes, not reality. So,
DON'T BE AGRESSIVE if you don't agree. Just answer that it is not true. Don't be too serious.
Also, don't try to prove that a stereotype is true. All are wrong, by definition.
I create this topic in order to check the reaction of people about the way they are seen from the other side of the Atlantic, and their answer.
The aim is to show that all of them don't match with reality.
Let's start.
1) The Americans always eat hamburgers. They never cook (they prefer fast foods), nor eat vegetables. They eat like 20 africans together.
2) They don't care about environment. Their huge 4x4 pollute like a russian factory but they don't matter.
3) They are too patriotic. They believe they are the bests. They believe they are "the goods" and that those who don't agree with them are "the bads". They use the word "pride", "freedom" and "terrorism" every 2 minutes.
4) They never drink alcohol nor smoke. That's not funny!
5) They believe we are barbars because we drink a lot of beer. If only they had tasted a good old Bellevue Extra, they would understand...
6) They believe we are all anti-american leftists supporting the Jihad if we pronounce the word "Iraq"
6b) They believe we wear svastikas or launch a fatwa against Israel when we say something else than "those palestinian terrorists should be nuked", and, generally, think we are stuck-in-the-mud backwarded islamists treators when we don't agree with Bush' policies
euh...what else?
