Minnesotans have "Minnesotan accent's"

Not really, I've almost never encountered one of these, you might happen to find one on one of the older folk and if they happen to only be 1st or 2nd generation immigrants.


I think it's also noticeable in rural areas. You get a small, noticeable accent in certain areas of it.

I'm originally from the midwest, so I got a slight southern accent.
I got made fun of in school from it and asked, "What part of the south are you from?"
Whenever I'm around friends that have a southern accent, my accent comes out.

Anyway! On with the stereotypes.

We're superficial
We don't care about poor people
We want everything BIGGER
We're apparently stupid. (I take offense)
And, we're all arrogant assholes.

Guess which country, I doubt it's very hard. XD
 
     
 
Also, for where I'm living now, we has stereotypes.

We're all rich bastards.
We live in mansions and fancy houses. (Totally NOT true)
We have all seen/met the president in person.
We're Yankees/Northerners

Guess where I live? XD

I do not live in the beach, we don't have only "hot chicks", we don't live in the jungle, we don't eat bananas all the time, we don't live in trees, we don't have monkeys everywhere, not everyone can play soccer, NOT EVERYONE LOVES SOCCER.
And it goes by...

Caribbean stereotypes are as follows:

Our version of a police car is a bedraggled donkey with a siren on its head.
We sit and bask in the sun under coconut trees whole day, every day.
We don't really work and life is communal
We wear hawaiian print shirt and panama hats
and oh! we don't have cable, digital tv or internet connections

That's all I got.


Aww you took all of mine. Lolol.
xd I'm sorry. Care to add to the list?
     
I will not be the one who knows more,
nor that never fails.
I'd hate to be the one that falls behind,
and lifts you up.
Brazil = Carnaval, Sex, Amazonia, Beautiful Woman and Soccer, Capirinha.

Appearently we live in a jungle, with monkeys and indians everywhere. When we have really big citys like São Paulo. I was even asked if it was hard to live in the florest once, here on Gaia.

Appearently we all love soccer, we all play soccer, we all breathe soccer. When that totally isn't true, though it's our sport there are lots that don't care about it. Like me.

Appearently we besides all the jungles we also only have beaches and woman in them with tiny bikinis. Though small bikinis are used, a small percentage uses them or goes everyday to the beaches. Like me.

Appearently if we don't live in the jungle we live in the poor and between violence. Wich is not true, because even though there are the poor areas there are rich areas too, like any other place.

We only dance samba. Not true, once there are a lot of brazillians who don't know how to or like to dance it. Like me.

Appearently you should not go out with wet hair since its very impolite. Not true, we could care less if you went out with your hair wet. I mean, you can even go to work with wet hair.

Appearently we are all sluts and go around naked all the time and everyone is sexually promiscuous.
 
     
 
My mom is from Canada and she's told me that one stereotype she gets is that all Canadians live in igloos because it's cold 24/7 there, and there's nothing bu Inuits and polar bears. Also, according to the uneducated all Canadians do weed.

I was born in France, I live there so I can tell you how French see American poeple :

- Fat
- Racists
- Violent armed poeple

French poeple doesn't really like America... It's changing a little with your new president but... not that much O.o

So tell me please, how do you see France ??
I see French people as very romantic people, but kind of stuck up. Everyone there owns a poodle. Eat french bread and french onion soup. Lol. And also, pretty much everything you see in Madeline. :'D

Let's see, I live in Mississippi, so here are some of the stereotypes.:
Fat
Lazy
Mcdonalds
Racist
Own a confederate flag
Ignorant
Poor
Dumb
"Y'all", "Get er dun", and some other deep southern phrases. (Lol, some people actually say that here though.)
Deer huntin' and camo clothes

lol I would say that's more for Louisiana more than Mississippi, I see Mississippi as well...a less rich version of Texas?
 
     
Deal with it.
 
Americans think we have a tentacle rape fetish and our women are yellow, 4ft tall, and no body.
