The prejudice map

Whilst glancing at Spiegel online, I came across The Prejudice Map. Stereotypes à la Google, by searching for example, "germans are known for *". The power of the internet unleashed.

I like the USA:

dislike of walking
anti-Muslim politics

Those mongolians have a wicked sense of humour...

extremely unclean

never understand where the reputation of fair play for Brits comes from. Sense of humour I could understand but fair play? are we/do we?

are Indians really known for cheating?
I'd never got that impression, at all

Here are some handy charts. They only cover Europe, though.

big eyes is another good one

Why does India have cheating as their first on their list??

I feel like there is somewhere missing off that map but I can't quite put my finger on it.

you guys are missing, and so are the Irish, I noticed

Marshbot, just for you: Kiwis are known for...

Thanks Showem! So going by the first two...

"New Zealanders are known for their ingenuity and inventiveness, an ability to
fabricate almost anything from limited resources..."
"New Zealanders are known for their do-it-yourself attitude"

...we tell tall stories and masturbate a lot.
I reckon that's pretty true for lots of kiwis I've met. Lying wankers.

At least it's do-it-yourself.

Expats are known for "shifting, sticking and spoiling". Interesting stuff.

Hmph
Yorkshire folk are known for calling a spade a spade and for being tight with their money.
Balderdash.

Wow us Mexicans" bend the rules and are foul mouthed.".hmmm never would have imagined that.

British people are stereotypically 'extremely unclean'??? I thought that was the French...where's Wibble?

... Brits being known for un-cleanliness I have never heard of ... I always thought it was bad teeth. Not that I think this

Canada is supposed to be very multi-cultural but I find that most people tend to adapt to the Canadian culture rather than hold onto their own. This makes it really hard to identify people from other cultures based on anything other than accent or skin colour. Since moving here I've to some extent been able to determine some personality traits that may (or may not) be representative of the culture people come from.

For example, I was reading the Kiwi thread and noticed that Kza, Marshbot, Timmeh and Brokenm are not only some of the funniest posters on the forum but also all from New Zealand. Coincidence?

I've also noticed that the South Africans I've met (3 in total - huge sample size) all really enjoy deep, intense discussions. Another coincidence?

I'm talking out of my ass as per usual.

Brokenm is only a wannabe Kiwi - I believe he's actually from Florida or some such.
But I agree that they are 4 of the wittier forum posters.
Dr Matt - the Arc's illustrious quiz master - is also a witty and erudite Kiwi.

I've never actually been to NZ, though - maybe all the smart, funny ones leave cos the rest are all thick as pig shit.

Ah yes, you're right. My mistake.

I no longer find him funny

But behind the sunny kiwi facades, it's all bottles of gin, daytime tv, and crying whilst having sex.
