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.

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.

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.

I think that since the FOX unit was part of the CIA, that they'd have given Zero some specifications to how it would be acceptable to run things, which probably meant that bagging your turds and carrying them around with you was tossed out the window, it'd be stupid anyway since even if it was bagged, the stench would've leaked out eventually, and I don't know about you but I'm pretty sure I'd be able to smell it if some random guy was crawling through the bushes carrying a bag of his own shit, especially if he put that and urinated in the same bag...yeah...not very stealthy.

^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.

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.
