Ok /trv/,

Here goes our first Stereotype thread.

Post general stereotypes of your region (not country, those are more or less well known by everyone), as well as how true you think they are. I'll start.

New York:

-You're gonna get MUGGED: Pretty false. New York's got one of the lowest crime rates of any city in the States. The crime thing is a dated stereotype, more true in the 80s than now.

-We're a bunch of assholes: More or less true. Not out and out assholes mind you, but you're not going to get that nice, casual, friendly attitude the West Coast is known for.

-Our Taxi Drivers Don't Know How To Drive: True, as far as I'm concerned. Both times I nearly got run over was by a bright yellow cab.

-It is expensive as hell: Compared to the rest of the US, yes. Compared to, say, European cities, no. You can get by on a 20,000 salary fairly easily, though don't expect to be eating at fancy restaurants every night.

I agree with this but would like to elaborate on this.

People here are busy and time is money, as someone who works in lower manhattan, tourist as much as i love them are in my way and sometimes that comes off as being an asshole, but if ppl fall or someone drops something, NY folk are as helpful as anyone else.

Hey fuck you man, you can't fool me, I watched Ghostbusters 2 like everybody else. You guys are fuckin' jerks!

I live somewhere in East Anglia (the English countryside). We don't have any popular stereotypes because nobody has ever written a book, film, TV show or play set anywhere near here. So yeah, just take the English stereotype and add something about tractors. That'll be close enough.

tourists generally stay in manhattan, in which case the chances of getting mugged are like .05%.

>We're a bunch of assholes: More or less true. Not out and out assholes mind you, but you're not going to get that nice, casual, friendly attitude the West Coast is known for.

I've found that people in NYC are a lot more likely to talk to each other in stores, restaurants, on the street, in the subway etc than we New Englanders are to talk to each other anywhere. For most of us, this applies even to our own homes.

As for New England, the stereotype is that we're all rich, which is of course false. Most of us are lower-middle class, with our income hanging by a thread, or just flat unemployed.

The other major stereotype is that we're jerks. This is 100% true.

1. We are all hicks and Indians.

Mostly true. The urban areas are filled with Indian gangs, the rural areas are all conservative faggots and Indian reserves. However, there are a lot of potheads mixed in. The stereotype needs to be amended to hicks, Indians, and **potsmokers.

2. We are the shittiest, poorest province easte of Quebec (Frenchfag land).

This one's a Canadian stereotype. It is untrue. Manitoba is both shitter (floods every year wtf), and poorer. We have rigs and mines at least.

3. Regina is a giant slum (Canadian stereotype).

Torontofag here, so Toronto...

1. Torontonians believe they live in the best city in the world. (Canadian Stereotype)

True mostly. The first exception being that half of the city's first and second generation immigrants think that either wherever they came from was the best place ever (THEN WHY DID YOU LEAVE?). The second exception being those Chinese who never leave Chinatown and/or Markham, who may as well still be in China.

2. Shitty drivers. Second only to the whole province of Quebec. (Ontario Stereotype)

True and False at the same time. Sadly, we top the list in Canada for road safety.

3. Center of the Universe. (Canadian Stereotype)

Yet to be scientifically proven.

4. Pansies when it comes to winter. (Canadian Stereotype)

True. We called in the army to shovel our snow during an above average winter. Seriously.

5. Nice clean town to live in/visit. (Worldwide Stereotype)

True. It is, and I just can't explain it. Perhaps #1 and #3 have something to do with it.

6. Stupendous gun crime.

False. A bad year for gun crime in Toronto would be a good night in Los Angeles.

I'm sorry, did you mean 200,000? Unless you're talking about bumfuck upstate NY, you'll need at least double that to eek out barely enough to live in NY. The rest of the description is pretty spot on though.

The Seattle generalization is pretty true too. It's reverse-NY. The largest minority in most places is Japanese and Korean, and the black coffee, black person ratio is probably 1,000:1.

You'll get mugged - False. You have a higher chance of getting mugger within the immidiate surrounding suburbs (Highland Park, Hazel Park, 7 or 8 Mile, Bricktown, New Center, etc.) than you ever will on Woodward and Campus Martius.

LAS VEGAS:

-PROSTITUTES EVERYWHERE! Well, within Clark County (that's where vegas is), it's actually illegal. But we get around that by calling them "escorts". If you drive about an hour north you'll reach Nye County, in which prostitution is totally legal. That's where you find the famous Bunny Ranch.

-STRIP CLUBS ON EVERY BLOCK! The closer you get to the strip, the truer this becomes.

-YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF DECADENT GODLESS HEATHENS. I wish. Don't quote me on it, but I'm pretty sure we have more churches than any other city in the west coast. I guess all that guilt builds up after a while.

THERE ARE CERTAIN CASINOS THAT HAVE THE "LOOSE SLOTS" AND ALWAYS GIVE OUT TONS OF CASH, YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK! Bullshit. Payout ratios only vary about 1-4% from casino to casino. They will rip you off and take all your money, that's what they were designed for.

NOBODY ACTUALLY LIVES IN LAS VEGAS. People actually believe this. I don't know why. Maybe they think we fly in from L.A. every morning and then fly back when we're off work. It's truly baffling. Las Vegas is one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S.

THERE'S NOTHING TO DO OTHER THAN DRINK, GAMBLE, AND GET LAPDANCES. Basically true. We have broadway shows, art exhibits, a sports arena, and we even used to have a water park, but in the end nobody but the locals really use that shit, and even then we don't really use them that much. Las Vegas is more or less devoid of culture beyond the strip.

-We all belong to one of the "Three M's" of Las Vegas: Mormons, Mexicans and the Mafia. The first two are pretty much true (Romney won Nevada by a landslide, and every other strip mall in northtown has a mexican supermarket or some kind of spic store). The last one, not so much. There really hasn't been a strong mafia presence in the city since the late 80s

SoCal fag reporting:

You will see celebrities!
Somewhat true. California is crawling with varying degrees of celebrities so if your down here you can run into one but more likely than not you won't recognize them and/or they will be long past their prime. You'll see them though but its not what you expect and not when you expect. Hang out in the right places and you can run into more/more quality ones.

Our freeways are terrible.
True, because there is no such thing as public transportation here (ours sucks balls) and we have more cars per capeta than any other state. If you know the lay of the land it can help but some traffic is unavoidable.

LA is a cool city.
False, LA sucks balls. True they are "reclaiming" a lot of downtown around the Staples & Convention Center but right now it is crap and downtown LA is nothing compared to San Diego or San Francisco's night life.
P.S. the LA sucks balls.

Argentina:

"We are arrogant"
Not really. Most argentines are very open and will gladly tell you their problems or discuss some flaw. People from Buenos Aires do tend to be more cocky than the average, and that's why the rest of the provinces hate them as well.

"We are terrible drivers"
True.
Driving in any Argentine city is Hell. We have nice, organized lanes that nobody respects, millions of traffic lights that nobody gives a shit about, aggressive bus and cab drivers that would rather crash before making a space for you. If you are planning to live here, leave the driving to an Argentine or you'll go crazy, like the rest of us already are.

"Machismo, macho attitude"
Dead wrong.
Despite the stereotype, we can't keep our women in the kitchen. Our current president is, in fact, a woman, and Argentina is promoted as a "gay friendly destination" to bring tourist moneis.

"Don't cry for me Argentina"
That song is from an Andrew Lloyd Weber musical.
Also, nobody gives a shit about Evita. She's dead. She was a first lady more than 60 years ago. Only old people and historians care about it.

"Latin America = Christfags"
Nope.
As an agnostic, I'm proud to say that Argentina is very secular. 80-90% of people call themselves Catholics, but very few go to church, or give a shit about what the church has to say. Nobody cares about religion, and I see that as a positive thing.

So here's the lowdown on atlanta, in case you happen to be passing through the airport
Everywhere around the airport is totally hood. to see any white people, you have to drive north, to midtown (for gays) and buckhead and brookhaven. or you can drive to the southern suburbs, which are mainly inhabited by delta pilots.
Atlanta is like the wild west. We drive fast, are violent, and do tons of drugs. The burbs here are even crazy, and full of insane people from every continent. If you want a real international experience, visit Buford Highway. This area, on the east side of town, is beautiful. It's physically ugly, but you can meet people from all over the world, and eat their food.
To get drunk if you're on a budget you should drink with friends at home or at house parties. House parties are a staple of the local burbs as few bars are around and cigarettes and alcohol are cheap in stores. If you are interested in bars, i suggest Buckhead and midtown. You will find a variety of odd people here, but it's fun to drink with them. You will pay a lot for drinks though.
To get laid- I advise the house parties. Bars are often full of currently engaged people and et cetera. You might just pick up some awesome 18-year old and get some good sex. Unlikely though, for channers.
Of course we have a wide variety of events for the nerd crowd, and many of them are quite fun (even for non-nerds)
Spend a little money here, and be weird. It usually helps.

That "warsh" and "wraslin" accent lives here in Kansas as well. It's more common in rural areas. We also tend to call any place that is not here "down there," even if it is north on the map.

Even if you call me Dorothy, I'll be nice, at least until I know how dangerous you are. But just know that behind that polite demeanor, I desperately want to kill you.

Well, we have great football players, but we haven't won a World Cup in a long time now.

Brazil is overshadowing us. I blame our lousy managers, they are never able to get a proper team chemistry / organization.

>that Nazis ran away to your country to hide from the allied powers after WW2.
This one annoys me.
We have a really bad reputation, but lots of countries did the same thing. Argentina, Brazil, Chile, the US, the Soviets, even France or Canada, all harboured nazi war criminals and engineers that were brought over by the governments to take advantage of German expertice. I always think it's a bit unfair that Argentina is singled out when lots of countries did the exact same thing.

Just like any other Western government, our authorities are working with Interpol to track down any nazi fugitive that may still be alive.

LA is a cool city.
False, LA sucks balls. True they are "reclaiming" a lot of downtown around the Staples & Convention Center but right now it is crap and downtown LA is nothing compared to San Diego or San Francisco's night life.
P.S. the LA sucks balls.

If by "reclaim" you mean do nothing than yes they are reclaiming downtown LA. Seriously though there is nothing good about LA. If one of you guys from outside the state decide they want to see LA. Do yourself a favor and just stay in Orange County and drive up to LA for the day just so you can see the piece of shit that it is and never come back.

The last time my brother saw grass in Arizona was at a golf course, so that stereotype remains true.

One time when he was talking to me on his cell phone at a store he mentioned that Arizona green tea was cheaper than bottled water.

I didn't know cacti needed so much water when they're first sprouting from seed until I started the cacti seed kit my brother gave me one Christmas. They use the moisture and cover from the older cacti until they're large enough to survive the heat on their own. Cacti only grow about an inch a year, so the saguaro cactus can live to a ripe old age for being in the desert.

Another North Carolinian here. As our state is basically worthless, there aren't too many stereotypes.

We all smoke: as stated, mostly true. Although it's getting better.

We're all hicks: also mostly true, minus the bigger cities (i.e. Charlotte, Raleigh) and immediate suburbs. All the northerners come down here because land is cheap and buy big-ass houses, so the percentage of NE imports is pretty high in those areas.

We hate northerners: semi-true. They're good for our economy, but they tend to move down here and complain about our food, our dialect, the weather, and everything else, which seriously pisses us off. Not to mention the fact that wherever they cluster, a fancy strip-mall with a Target and a thousand semi-upscale restaurants seems to pop up.

We practice southern hospitality: definitely true. Unless you complain about southern living or behave rudely, we are normally very polite and courteous. Unfortunately this doesn't extend to driving; we're not great drivers here.

FriscoFag here. When I talk about SF, I mean the SF Bay Area, which you'll read about in my first statement.

Theres -so- much to do and -so- many places to go, people to see..etc. False. San Francisco is a pretty small place than what most people expect. When people who live here say that, they're talking about the "Bay Area", from all the way north to Vallejo to even down south to San Jose, it's a huge community. Thats not to say there -isn't- anything in SF, but it's exaggerated too many times.

Everyone in SF is either a fag, a hippie, or worse - a liberal. True/False, for fags it's false - we keep them locked down in one area nice and tight so they don't spread out - the Castro district. For hippies, they're mostly around Height/Ashbury, still after 40 years(What can I say, they're slow). Although they can pop up anywhere/everywhere... like magic. And as for liberals it's true, everyone is a Democrat and voting for Billary and just a few for Osama.

Theres a huge drug/rave scene. True, a lot of people from up north around Sacramento, Modesto, Tracy...etc will drive all the way down here and bring their home-grown shit to our parties/raves. And it's -very- easy to get almost any sort of drug ever produced.

It's less violent than LA. False, it's actually more violent so than down south in/around LA. I forgot which, but East Palo Alto or Oakland was ranked the highest in murder/homicide in the nation. Unlike LA where the ghettos are grouped up and separated from the rest, most of the Bay Area's ghettos are very much integrated with the rest of the normal population. And on top of that, the ghettos aren't very large themselves, creating strong tensions on the street between rival areas because of their proximity. If you've lived here long enough, though, it's easy to navigate around the bad areas.

Don't remember where I heard this one, but "It has a predominantly Asian population." False, maybe in JAPANtown or CHINAtown, but false everywhere else. It's actually predominantly Latino, most being Mexican. We have Nigras also, but mostly in EPA and Oakland..surprise surprise.

2) There are NO white people in Rio de Janeiro. NOT TRUE, but then if you went as far as Rio, you want to see some bronze people after all.

British Columbia:

We're all potheads:

Very true. The amount of people who blaze, or who have experimented at some point in their life is incredible. Pot here is tolerated very easily, to the point of almost being decriminalized. It of course depends on the cop, but for the most part you'll get in more shit for public drunkenness than you will for having some doobies on you.

**side story: I have a friend whose dad used to grow. One day his grow-op got busted by the cops. He was then given the choice of having charges against him, or given a contract by the government to grow medicinal marijuana because his operation was so clean and smoothly run. Guess which one he chose :)

It's nothing but snow here:

Not really. Northern B.C. is very cold and gets a lot of snow, but the lower part is mild. In fact, I live in the warmest region in Canada (we can get past 40 degrees C/ 104 degrees here. And to be honest, I think B.C. is absolutely gorgeous. There are some pretty dingy northern towns, but the Coast lines, mountain ranges and such are incredible. And we have SO many godamn forests.

Vancouver is one of the best cities in the world:

I'm just throwing this out there because it was awarded this title again :) I don't live there myself (moving there in 6 months), but I love it there. Even the godamn bums seem "better" than other places I've been. But I guess I can't really throw my opinion out there since I haven't lived there yet.

Dying: Somewhat true. Our manufacturing centers are dead, but other industries are around to catch some of the slack, especially medical. There's as much building going on as their is abandonment.

I'm not too sure about the mafia in Boca, but when I lived there, it had to be my most miserable amount of time spent anywhere.

Was really young at the time, in middle school. We moved down there into this shitty little apartment, after a day the entire apartment flooded in a storm and ruined everything. In the upstairs bedrooms there were always these hot clouds of fog floating around inside the rooms from the water damage. After a few months, we learned there was about twenty varieties of poisonous molds festering behinds the walls of the bedrooms.

While I was in school I remember seeing this middle-schoolers get interviewed by the police. In middle school. The cops would bring us into a room one-by-one and ask us questions, guaranteeing us anonymity on the matter. This is fucking middle school.

There were two types of currencies amongst the kids, chromies, and homies. Chromies are the caps off of cars, they were like a bragging-right kind of currency every one used, and the thefts of these were what caused the cops to show up most of the time at the school. The other, homies, were these shitty little plastic nigger figurines that the kids of boca raton fucking adored. You could buy a god damn PS2 with plastic nigger figurines.

There also was a gang in middle school, the crazy 8 balls.

Boca Raton is fucking ridiculous.

I live in a major tourist trap (Colorado Springs)

Stereotype:
- We're all rich white evangelical republicans (Hereafter RWER's) who have served in the Air Force and belong to either Focus on the Family or New Life Church.
- Some come here expecting a real wild west experience. You can usually recognize such people by the out-of-place cowboy hats they wear.
- We sometimes give wrong directions to Californians and out-of-state visitors for lulz.


Truth:
- I'm a poor white atheist southside libfag. We have a lot of said RWER's, but we also have our share of gays, wiccans, tarot card readers and "new age spiritualists" on the old west side. Fun place to go. Really.
- Lots of junkies too, I think we were one of the top ten methlab cities.
- I don't lie about directions, maybe a small minority do.
- Some of our historic-looking buildings are only fabricated to look that way.
- We have no -actual- springs, despite the name.
- This is NOT Southpark. That's 50 miles northwest.
- It doesn't snow all the time. Hot summers (90's) and cold winters (20s-40s), but only modest precips.
- Great town if you like nature. Parks, mountain trails and such.

Arizona:

-It's Mostly Dirt.
True. You won't be able to avoid desert unless you live in the mountains.

-We all think crushed red rock makes a pretty lawn.
False. Not all of us do. Most of us don't really care about having colored rocks and just leave our yards as dirty as they were when we moved in. The real pretty yards are considered to be the ones with fake patches of grass in them, because of our lack of grass in AZ.

-It's all Mexicans.
False. There's a large population of Mexicans, yes, but most of them are just here for school. Outside of schools, mexicans mostly live in their own seperated ghettos and mind their own business. The majority is definitely white here, though.

-Arizona is overrun with gangs.
True. Most likely you're not going to see that though. Plenty of 13's, 14's, and BCL's spray painted everywhere, and the occasional house robbery, but other than that not really much gang action.

-We're all from other places.
Mostly true. Most people here are from California or Mexico. People who were born and raised here are pretty rare.

-We didn't give a shit about the Super Bowl.

Philadelphia:

Murder: Yes, we have a fairly high murder rate, cannot be denied. However, 95% of those murder occur exactly where you'd expect them to - the ghetto. So, like, don't go to those parts of town (MOSTLY anything above 50th st going west, anything above Fairmont going north, numerous exceptions of course). Not that you'd want to anyway, unless you're looking to score. Which is what most of the shootings are about anyhow.

There always seem to be a good number of people from Colorado Springs or nearby on 4chan.

The biggest stereotype for our state I can think of is that people seem to think that Colorado is one big mountainous area, when in fact over a third of it is like Kansas and other parts of the midwest (mostly flat, long rolling hills if anything, grassland and farms, no trees).

The first comment about the Springs was correct, not all of it is populated by RWER's.

As an aside bit of trivia, the 'Colorado River' used to be the 'Grand River', which is why there's the Grand Canyon, Grand Junction, Grand County, etc. It was actually renamed back during the 1940s to promote tourism.

And I forgot a stereotype earlier:
We're all evangelical Christians: Unfortunately, mostly true. Even I grew up a Christfag, and now as an Atheist Agnostic it's fucking difficult to make any kind of leeway with people who know I'm not religious. Even the northerners who move here BECOME fucking dogmatic- there are people here, especially in the more rural areas like where I went to high school, who really and truly believe that scientists make up any facts that contradict the Bible in order to do the work of the devil.

I live in a Mexican area (Redwood City) in the Bay Area (SF-Oakland-San Jose). It's probably majority Latino, but not overwhelming. There honestly aren't too many obvious gangs, and I've never been the victim of any crime. Even graffiti is rare. Responding to>>2696, East Palo Alto (a few towns south) used to be the murder capital of the US, but that was like fifteen years ago when the whole Cali economy was in the shitter. Now, while it's not exactly upscale, it is a lot safer. Most of the really bad neighborhoods have gotten a lot better as the economy's improved. The downside of this is that housing prices are insane. Probably not quite as bad as Manhattan (>>2254: how tiny?), but close.

As far as stuff to do, it's alright, but clubs and stuff are actually kind of rare, at least in this part of the area.

duke is affectionately called the university of south new england or something like that because we've attracted alot of that crowd. not to say it's a bad school, but be sure you got your shit together. a friend of mine that went there had to write a page explanation per grade below A he got in hs. we actually have a very high number of higher-education schools of various types, and yes we do use them so we're not all stupid. you'll find a couple of hicks but they're proud of it and joke along the lines. never seen any racism or stuff like that.

If you're anywhere in the south (note: Florida is not considered a part of the South) and you complain about heat, you're dreaming unless you live in Columbia South Carolina. I'm originally from NC but I go to school here, and I swear to god, it seems like there couldn't possibly be a hotter place on earth. It's not just the heat though - I know that elsewhere it gets upwards of 110 degrees Fahrenheit - it's the oppressive humidity. It can be 120 degrees in the desert, and you won't feel as hot as you will at 100 degrees in Columbia, because every fucking day of summer the humidity hovers between 70-100%. You can barely breathe.

This is true. I live between the DTES and Commercial Drive so I get my fair share of crazies and they're alright, really. I've never been accosted or anything and I travel through the DTES often (I like to walk better than busing) to get downtown. They can be disconcerting to be around if you're not used to it, sure, but they generally stay out of your way and most of them are actually nice people, old time users who got sucked in before the effects of drugs were publicized so it's more tragic than anything really.

West Texas (mainly my hometown of Midland, TX; can't speak for El Paso)

Yes, we're big on oil. And with this booming industry comes all the corporate drivel (Wal-Mart, Target, Cracker Barrel, etc).

The Midland Lee football team sucks now (as opposed to what you saw in Friday Night Lights).

If you aren't white/Hispanic, chances are they don't know a single thing about your ethnicity outside of TV/movie stereotypes. Fucks actually think I'm William Hung/Jackie Chan and practice Buddahism.

Everyone actually does drink; it's the only fucking thing to do.

Everyone's a Republican and/or a Christian. Also, people whore themselves out until Sunday, go to church, and they think they're magickally free of sin again.

The West is devoid of any culture, and the public library blows ass (no one fucking goes there).

FUCK, THERE IS NOT A DAMN THING TO DO.

Interesting thread is interesting

I'll elaborate more for the LAfags.

So if you've been paying attention, you've pretty much gathered Los Angeles is the shithole of the world. This is true to some extent. What I think most of the other LA guys didn't mention is that LA county is very diverse. Sure, for the most part there are mexicans everywhere, but from city to city you'll notice a lot of diversity. Of course there are the globals, like Tacos, they're everywhere, but different locations have different customs I'd say.

In other words, it's not that good as people make it seem. I've had a lot of co-workers who moved to LA and were like "omg omg how coool los angeles" but now are starting to realize it's not all that they expected.

It's crowded depending on where you go and driving at 5 PM on most freeways sucks ass.

The benefit I'd say of Los Angeles is that we get the first movies and a lot of cool bands every now and then.

Boulder, CO

-It's all hippies: There are a lot of hippies, but it's really mostly yuppies and rich college kids. There aren't many middle-class 'normal' people in Boulder, they all live in the surrounding towns.

-Everybody's a liberal: They'll tell you that, but the second anybody says a word about raising taxes then they're as conservative as can be.

-It's a center of art and culture: Only if you like re-hashed modern nonsense and crappy long haired alternative bands.

-It's a paradise for outdoor recreation: True, but you'll have to wait in line to do anything outdoors. All of the climbing, hiking, and biking areas are severely overcrowded and you can expect to have to wait your turn unless you go in the middle of the day on a weekday.

Alright, Georgia:

- As far as Atlanta goes, the traffic is HORRIBLE, its very ghetto, there is a club on every corner, and the MARTA is convenient.

- The entire state is covered with rednecks/hillbillies. The rednecks dominate the south, and the Tennessee style hillbillies take over above Atlanta and all up in the Blue Ridge Mountains. I went up there for a week and not once did i ever see a black person.

- Black people all over the rest of the state, along with a rising number of Spics.

- Athens is nice. Its all of the best parts of Atlanta in one town.

Atlantians have no accent generally, farther south we gain a Texas style drawl, and above Atlanta you get good ole mountain boys.

Memphisfag here. Okay, stereotypes for Memphis, Tennessee.

There are mostly black people here: It's pretty evened out once you look in the whole metropolitan area, rather than just in downtown Memphis where, yes, most of the black people are.

People are racist in Memphis: Only on Craigslist, as far as I know. And in high schools, except it's black on white racism.

Memphis has the worst drivers: Hell to the fuck yeah. That's all you need to know.

People in Memphis eat BBQ all the time: No. We don't. And we don't go to Graceland all the time. Beale Street is a tourist trap that sells drinks for $4 and beer for $8. Ripoff. Most people that live in Memphis fucking hate it. And everyone is running to Germantown/Collierville.

Southern Finland here (Espoo to be precise)

>EVERYONE IS RICH IN ESPOO
Not true, you can see some hobos especially in Espoon keskus, Matinkylä and Espoonlahti.

>IF YOU GO TO EASTERN HELSINKI, YOU WILL GET MUGGED/RAPED/MURDERED
True. An intoxicated man once threatened me with a knife there. And it was not in an alley or anything, but in the middle of the fucking day in the middle of a busy square (with children present!).

>PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE CAPITAL REGION THINK THE REST OF FINLAND IS OF NO IMPORTANCE/THINK THEY'RE BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE
Not true, especially since over half the population has moved here from "the rest of Finland". We are immensely proud of our region, though.

>ALL FINNS ARE UGLY AS HELL
Not true. There many ugly Finns, admittedly, but you'll definitely find many gorgeous men and women here, too.

>FINNS HATE SWEDEN
We don't hate Sweden... At least that much! ;P Swedish culture (music, tv shows) is actually very popular here.

>FINNS THINK ALL SWEDES ARE GAY
That's a popular stereotype, although no one thinks Swedes are *really* that gay.

>FINNS THINK ALL ESTONIANS, GYPSIES AND RUSSIANS ARE NO-GOOD THIEVES
True. A lot of people here are wary of Eastern Europeans. The fact that e.g. Romanians come here to beg professionally (they even admit that themselves) doesn't help their case much. Finns also think that things that come from Russia/the Baltic countries are of lower quality.

(cont'd)
>> Anonymous
(continues)

>FINNS ARE QUIET AND SHY
True for some Finns, not so much for others. You'll find many talkative and outgoing people here, and in private even shy Finns tend to be very social. Compared to e.g. Americans and Southern Europeans, Finns are more reserved in public (unless under the influence of alcohol), just like Japanese people. Making ourselves seen and heard is simply not a part of our culture.

>FINNS HAVE NO FASHION SENSE
Sort of true, but younger Finns usually dress better than older Finns. Finns themselves have criticized the way especially Finnish women dress in public. They want women to dress more sexily (like women do in Russia) but when women actually dress sexily (like wear a short skirt and strong make-up), people think they're literally whores (and some men even come up and suggest paying for sex, that has happened to a girl I know).

Aboriginal thing is something else entirely. Your average aussie kid doesn't know or care about abos. They're a group with a massive victim complex who are collectively infuriated by the total lack of white guilt here. So they raise hell, the government aquiesces with handouts, and they have utterly no incentive to ever do anything other than play the victim. So when the average aussie kid encounters an aboriginal he is harassed and accused of all kinds of shit, then asked or threatened for money or cigarettes. This isn't a racist picture. I assume there must be aboriginal men out there who actually do something with themselves, but apart from fractionally-black political types who appear on TV when they're launching another class action suit I have *honestly* never encountered any.

Saying "wicked": very true, throughout all of New England. I say it wicked often lulz.

Funny accent: very true, but I don't have one. I have a hard time understanding some folks. It sounds degrading, but I honestly think that the smarter people in rural areas end up without accents and the stupid ones do, at least in my town.

Hicks = very yes.

Incest: actually, my town (Waldoboro) is famous for incest, though I don't believe it's really in practice. I've never heard of anyone in the past thirty years doing it, but I've heard of worse...

Bestiality: I knew one guy who supposedly fucked sheep, but he had a lot wrong with him. Most people stick to wimmens.

I can't really think of much to add. If anyone has questions, go for it.

Something I just remembered is that culture in Maine outside of cities is 10 years behind the rest of the nation. Whatever was popular in 1998 is popular now, although this gap is closing as more people get access to the ethertron.

I didn't know incest was acceptable under 30.

Truth. I made $7000 a day for two days renting my guest house to retards, just because I happen to live ~5 minutes walking from the stadium. I didn't go outside that day...

I live close to Charlotte, so I can also attest to the large Vietnamese/Laotian community there.

Also, in and around Raleigh, NC, there's a decently sized Asian community.

Seconded on the Raleigh Asian community. One of my friends is Veit...there's a shitton of them there. Chinese, too, it seems.

I live in Wilmington, NC. Mostly beach bums here and rich little college bitches whose mommies and daddies paid for them to go to UNCW and sit on the beach all day. Seriously, the school parkinglots are full of blonde girls in German luxury and sports cars.

We have a smattering of rednecks, and during the summer we're infested with tourists. I don't know many locals that actually go to Wrightsville beach. I'll drive half the extra half hour to Topsail to avoid the tourists.

The thousands of annoying argentine tourists that flood brazilian beaches every summer don't help the reputation of the country, either.

I know because I'm one of them :3

Well, it doesn't affect me too much because I'm young and I don't care much for politics, but it definitely is there. I have several friends from the Basque region and sometimes I feel sort of awkward if ETA or Basque independence comes up. My friends have mixed opinions and most of them don't like talking about it.

As for me, I'm quite against Basque independence and I think most other Madrileños feel the same way, but I can't say "we Spaniards think this" because there isn't really a "we Spaniards" since sometimes it seems like everyone is for their own province. I have some friends from Catalunya who wish independence for themselves as well.

Can any Frenchfag (or someone who has visited) address Paris? I'm going there this summer and I would like to know whats up with it


SoCalfag here. The valley, more specifically.

Everyone is a stoner / slacker?
Yes. It's very laid-back here. My next door neighbor reminds me of The Dude from "The Big Lebowski". I fucking love that guy.

Traffic is bad?
Yes. Very. But I never take the highways anymore.


Everyone is dumb and says "like" all the time?
Yes, in a nutshell.


Everyone is a surfer?
No. You see one if you're lucky when you go to the beach.
