What stereotypes about certain people, places, etc, have u heard?
Which of them did u find to be true?
To the people mentioned or people from the places mentioned: do u agree with the things said? If not, please defend your place, etc.

These are few examples from my country, dont know who created it though..
If u see a white man running, he is probably just jogging..
If u see a black man running, he probably stole something..
If u see an indian man running, he is probably going to the nearest toilet (apparently spicy food makes people shit a lot).

The one i heard was about arabs and their love for bargaining. Im married to one and in his case that stereotype is true. He cant buy anything without turning the experience into a mini auction, lol- its embarrassing.

Your turn..

3Es, why is fish and chips your national dish? Every country with a sea has fish and anybody can cut a potato + make chips. Whats so special about your fish and chips? Shouldnt curry be a national dish for hindustan (india) instead of u bland food lovers?

I was always suspicious of how he could fit in a chimney with such a huge stomach and also the fact that he 'dropped' stuff down the chimney, but we didnt HAVE any chimney- thats why i dont trust ppl, lol. Oh the lies!!

Speaking of childhood beliefs, there are groups all over the net of adults believing in fairies, elves and other weird things. And they share stories of such encounters, lol. Im all for the unkown, but fairies, come on! Do u have beliefs in anything weird? Tooth fairy maybe, lol? I believe in soulmates

I once thought a guy with bad sharp teeth was a nosferatu (dracula/vampire). I used to eye him suspiciously, lol. He scared the heck out of me and my parents used him as threat to scare me, i was about 5 at the time.
