There are actually more...this are only some I can come up with. Just something to entertain you guys, nothing special.

Feel free to talk about any kind of stereotype in this thread.

I have never heard a single Cambodian stereotype before.

I didn't even know they had them.

Kind of remarkable. Especially since I'm pretty sure I've met a few Cambodians. I don't know for certain, though; I don't really ask people where they're from very often.

Also, some of these are pretty universal traits. Except for the apparent hatred of doughnuts, which I can't quite wrap my head around.

Hello everyone!

As alot of you may know already pinkies from canada. And growing up talking with a different aray of people I have come across alot of stereotypes about canadains...the funniest one I think is this guy asked me if we all lived in igloos...

I just want to know what kind of stereotypes have you heard of or think about when canada is the subject.

Also if you have never seen or herd of this check this song out
"Oh canada" By classified.
Also this one "proud to be canadian" by the arrogant worms

And just a little humar because pinkies a good sport.

How did canada get its name?
By drawing letters from a hat!
C..eh..n..eh..d..eh lol!

[Lauv Keiko]

I heard some stereotypes...like.. canadians always end phrases with 'eh' or they all have once lived in farms. And that there's no chance for them to get a tan.

No worries, I don't easily believe in stereotypes.
I actually love canadians. <3

Most of what I've learned about Canada actually came from the Kathy Reichs murder novels about Temperance Brennan. I haven't heard many stereotypes... mostly because I think I live too far south for most of the Mason Dixon Line to get much more than strange info about the Yankees. *grins* Personally, I don't know how they don't eat black-eyed peas. Apparently it's cattle food.

[Pinkie]

lol thats funny! Alot of people do talk and say eh at the end of each sentance but not all. Also we get tans its just in some places its hard because of our short summers...

Shin: lol well it is mainly used for feed I think but last time I checked I knew some people that ate it

[Shenandoah]

*looks at Pink strangely* You're Yankees that speak French and English and live further north than the Yanks do.

I forget where you put your pin on the map, but have you been to Montreal? That's where Tempe Brennan works in the novels.

[Pinkie]

Nope not yet but thats where im headen this summer lol

And thank you but we are not yanks. We have one of the best education systems and speak proper english...well most of us lol. Not to mention health care lol yay for that

And what do you mean by putting the pin on the map? Care to explaine please?

[Shenandoah]

That's pretty cool.

*grins* I know that. I was just funning you a bit. I know about the health and education systems, too. I wish we had that here in America, but unfortunately a lot of stuff has to change in order for it to be implemented and there's too much division and issues in Congress to have that sort of thing passed through any time soon.

On another note... Seeing the Canadian and Cambodian stereotype threads makes me want to make my own Texan stereotype thread. XD

[Pinkie]

I know lol just making points thats all

Yes but they can pass a bill ligalizing medical weed in calaforna...dont you think health care should be first? And if its Obama's goal why is he not working towards it? Makes you think eh...

[Shenandoah]

*snorts* Yeah. He's working towards it. However, Congress is so frackin' divided that there'll be no progress anytime soon. Granted, maybe Gabrielle Giffords being shot might help push things in a better direction. But then again, what kind of shit price is that to pay? It's not fair to her, her husband, or her family.

I have noticed, though, that Obama has grayed so much since taking office. He looks so different, and it's only been a little over two years.

[Pinkie]

Well just hink about how much responsibility he has...running a whole country...like damn. If you did not get some grey hairs from that your not human lol.

And your right...it was a shame that she got shot along with others. But it might just be the push america needs to go through with some things...

[Logan]

Why she got shot anyway? D:

[Shenandoah]

Yes, I am copying the idea of other threads, but... *shrugs* What Texan stereotypes have you come across? For that matter, what Redneck stereotypes have you heard? Some kinda go hand-in-hand. *grins*

Here's what Mr. Foxworthy says about Texas:

3. If you've had a lengthy telephone conversation with someone who dialed a wrong number, you may live in Texas

4. If "Vacation" means going anywhere south of Dallas for the weekend, you may live in Texas.

5. If you measure distance in hours, you may live in Texas.

6. If you know several people who have hit a deer more than once, you may live in Texas.

7. If you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both unlocked, you may live in Texas.

8. If you carry jumper cables in your car and your wife knows how to use them, you may live in Texas.

9. If the speed limit on the highway is 55 mph -- you're going 80 and everybody s passing you, you may live in Texas.

10. If you find 60 degrees "a little chilly", you may live in Texas.

I'll be honest and tell you I've hit... eight of them. I have been on both sides of most, except for the deer one and the security light one (as I do not own my own house).

Tell me some more that you've heard!

[Shenandoah]

I feel sorry for him. Granted, he chose the position, but he has the weight of the entire nation on his shoulders. It's a good thing Michelle is there to help keep him steady. But the memory of those that died during Tuscon and the others that were injured should help Obama push the nation in the direction it needs to go.

Side note: I did just post a Texan Stereotype thread. XD

[Pinkie]

Logan: Hey! =huggles= And I dont know...I just saw on the news that she was shot...her and like 5 others...

Shen: Isent that the truth but only time will tell I suppose

Neat!
