Lol liberal commies in Brazil. Brazilian population is very christian and very manipulated. Obviously that's not 100% of the population, but our public education is terrible, making the majority of people ignorant, and controlled by the media. |

Great Britain =/= United Kingdom Sort of like a collective thing within itself which shouldn't work but everyone accepts it. |

Also, British are commonly mocked for sticking to the old ways, as slaves to the queen. |

UK wins a lot of money from the tourists that visits the Buckingham Palace. Plus it's more of a symbolic thing, tradition and all that. |

Yes, but a lot of money is invested in that royal family too, and for what? I understand the Palace, but that family? And how the whole country pays that much attention to them simply because they're the ''royal family'' is beyond me. |

I don't handle UK's economics, but I think they are not loosing money with the Royal Family.Celebrities getting attention for no reason doesn't really surprise me at this point. Better to have futile news about the Queen, than about Geordie Shore imo. Edited by Freeman, Jan 9 2013, 09:52:52 PM.

Some stereotypes are statistically factual, but they still offend people. For example, if you were to say that Americans(in general) are dumb. That is supported by statistics dealing with basic knowledge among the U.S. population. But that would still offend somebody, such as myself, who can actually find Iraq on a map, comprehend algebra, and name the 1st U.S. president. Edited by The Governor, Jan 9 2013, 10:51:35 PM.

^that's right. The OP is disingenuous. He first claims that he isn't racist(yea America is a race), and then proceeds to say some ignorant crap. I'm pretty sure Europeans believes that they're no fatter or smarter than us. The stereotype of Americans being stupid/obese is used exclusively by us. We enjoy mocking ourselves and think it's smart to critique how terrible our country is. #uck you OP. Edited by Heretic, Jan 9 2013, 11:23:00 PM.

I don't know, I've always had the impression that Americans were generally oblivious to the fact they're stereotyped as ignorant and arrogant, making it all the worse. Most people in America I know at least seem to be pretty ill-informed/apathetic on how they're viewed by the world. American Idol and lower gas prices are just more important. So I'm going to have to disagree with it being a self-mocking type of thing. |
