Comedy racial stereotypes

I'm not racist in the slightest, but one thing i don't mind at all and that i can't help but lol at, is racial stereotypes, because more often than not they are so ridiculous and have no basis, they become hilarious.

Stereotypes are funny. Mostly because they are overblown inventions of our collective imaginations over the years.
 
There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

Another stereotype:

Fat
Lager in one hand, fag in another.
Shouts a lot.
Speaks very slowly and loudly to foreigners, thinking it will help breach the language barrier.
Makes a mess wherever they go.
Have a fascination with baked beans and simply cannot survive without eating them.
Infamous for fighting.

Discussing this at work, and none of us can think of a nationality with more aspects of their comedy stereotype than the French.

If someone were asked to draw a French person, you would be guaranteed most, if not all, of the following:

Riding a bicycle
Beret
Striped top
Pencil moustache
Onions around neck
Fag in hand
Baguette
Bottle of wine

Can you think of any other country that has as many or more?

I can think a few for the English (although the French and the English aren't a race ;)).

Bad food
Bad teeth
Bad dress sense
Like to queue
Stiff upper lip
Obese
Monolinguists
Complaining and doing nothing about it
Stuck in the past of the Empire which no longer exists
Excessively polite
Binge drinking
Crap public transport


Of course most of this is tongue in cheek and am just teasing - being part English myself I don't necessarily believe all of these things! ;)

Forgot to add "always say sorry" to my list :)
 
Indeed.

While in Spain I went to an Irish bar and danced, sang, drank stout and socialised.

In the English themed bar down the road I farted, drank warm lager, had a fight, vomited and got arrested for calling a policeman el tithead.
 
mafia guy
ice cream man
pizza seller
organ grinder
greasy unshaven, chewing on an used match
heyyyyyy!!!
women with moustaches
diving in the penalty areas

guess who?
 
Not necessarily a geographically-based stereotype, but:

Pretentious
Lazy
Slightly autistic
Poor but well-stocked in designer labels
Drinks and smokes heavily
Beliefs that tend to have the words 'nouveau' or 'neo' preceding them
Working in the same entry-level retail job the past five years
Regular victim of fads and flavours of the month
Voted LibDem
Hates engineering graduates ;)

Just hope being of mixed heritage doesn't mean the two lists apply equally to you! :D :p
