Top Ten Countries with the Most Arrogant People

The Top Ten
1 United States The United States of America, or the U.S.A. for short, is a federal republic composed of 50 states, 48 of them are contiguous states. There are two other states, Alaska and Hawaii, which are north and south of the contiguous states, respectively. The United States declared its independence from the British Empire in 1776 with the Declaration of Independence. They won their independence in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. Its capital, Washington D.C. (District of Columbia) is defined by imposing neoclassical monuments and buildings including the iconic ones that house the federal government's 3 branches: the Capitol, White House and Supreme Court. Though it has no official language, English and ...read more.

Most Americans are the most ignorant, arrogant, posers on the face of the Earth

They actually think they invented everything when the truth is that they have invented almost nothing

They think that they are number 1 in every category, whereas the truth is that they are very average and mundane.

Americans are pretty proud of their country. The US just inspires some kind of pride in people for some reason, even though our country has a lot of issues. Personally, I like being American but I'm not really very patriotic about it. Some people think Americans are obnoxious, stupid and that they don't want to learn about other countries, but that isn't always true. I know a lot of Americans who have foreign relatives, Americans who love to travel, and I know a few people learning foreign languages (not just for school), myself included. I can only speak on my experiences though. Basically, America is a really proud country, but not everyone here is obnoxious as some are saying.

Yea its true were pretty arrogant but we have a right. We have the best military in the world and we have a lot of rights that other countries don't. A lot of people complain how we have it bad here well compared to other countries like China or North Korea we have it pretty good. We are pretty arrogant at times but we do like the countries like Germany, Britain, France, Mexico, Brazil, China (to a point) and others. We are in China's debt which is complicated but that doesn't make us worst. The USA has the best military not really the best country it's just as good as Britain or France.

Although I have lived my entire life in the U.S., I'm in no way patriotic. As a significant amount of Americans have a self entitled nature, feeling as if every decision, whether having a negative effect or positive, is justified. Ex. The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq.
It should be made aware, the overwhelming majority today, usually millennials, are considerably more modest, educated, aware of issues, not just in the U.S., but in other countries as well.
It also should be realized, when expressing the thought, that Americans don't know anything about other countries, is a steorostype, many citizens who have reached adulthood around the year 2000, as mentioned before are more educated about their own country-- The U.S. and other countries.

2 India India, officially the Republic of India, is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Its capital is New Delhi. Some other major cities are Mumbai, Chennai, and Ahemdabad. The most spoken languages are Hindi and English, but there are 22 official Indian languages.

Indians are so puffed up like toads. They live in the world's biggest garbage tip, their rivers are the most polluted in the world, their men are all sex offenders, filming women on their phones all the time, stating like rapists, groping and assaulting and raping. Filthy street dogs they are. A women is a slave to them in India. They kill babies who are born a women. They have no sense of hygiene or cleanliness. There government is some of the most corrupt in the world, yet they are all so proud to be Indian. If there was ever a race that need to be sterilized from populating the planet it's them. Most are dirt poor earning 2c a day. Yet still think they. Are the greatest

Indians no doubt should be number one. They are all cast concious and if you happen to be a Hindu and lower cast than them then you had it. Then you are wrong whatever you say. Their religion and indeed manners are pre-historic. The worse are the newly rich. They are snnobish, arrogant, self boasting and full of hatred. Read the comments in Times Of India below any news related to Pakistan. You would read the filthiest and most arrogant language than you would have seen any where. In spite of country being ridden by poverty, hunger and diseas their media make them believe that they are the most elegant peole on earth and about to overtake America and Europe.

I fully agree. I have seen most of them when they got hold of a foreign visa/pass. The snobs, the essence of self entitlement, their arrogance.
These personality and behaviour even showed on their children. In school their children talked a lot. They listened to their own voices not others.
Talking and talking is their favourite, always talking loudly on their mobile. Indian expatriates who are holding good position / salary are the worst breed on this earth. They even looked down on their own race and Indian.

India should be number one. I've traveled the world and met many different nationalities but I think Indians are the most arrogant. The irony is that unlike many countries on this list (that have at least managed to achieve in something) Indians really have no reason to be arrogant. They claim they are the most egalitarian people yet their society is deeply divided by caste, religion and wealth. The rich and industrious do nothing to help improve the living standards of the majority of Indians in the long run. Most emigrate at the first chance they get. They claim their civilization is the best and try to take credit for other people's achievements by claiming ancient Indians had already invented it. They accuse Hollywood of ripping of Bollywood when it's actually the other way round. Any of them are very racist to non-Indians and even dark skinned Indians. I have often heard the analogy that "god undercooked Europeans, burnt Africans but Indians were cooked just right". They think ...more

3 China China, officially the People's Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It is the world's most populous country, with a population of more than 1.4 billion. China spans five geographical time zones and borders 14 countries, the second most of any country in the world after Russia. Covering an area of approximately 9.6 million square kilometers (3,700,000 sq mi), it is the world's third or fourth largest country. The country consists of 23 provinces, five autonomous regions, four municipalities, and two Special Administrative Regions (Hong Kong and Macau). The national capital is Beijing, and the most populous city and financial center is Shanghai. Chinese (Mandarin) is the only official ...read more.

Chinese people use the whole 'we existed first and are still the same' excuse (my parents say this too) and though it may be true (not really because egypt was earlier) they KNOW they're arrogant, and they KNOW it makes non-chinese people mad, yet they still do this! There are older people talking about war with America (please don't start a war) and how we should all learn chinese because china is strong all that crap, I don't give a crap if china is strong, I'm happy in my weak little country, and they don't even care that my chinese is better than most people's, they still force me to learn chinese! My parents legit only found out YESTERDAY that I could type fluently in chinese

Only cares about money and is insecure that they do not have socially desirable aesthetics. Very racist and not welcoming to outsiders. Think that you don't have to do your own hard work, as long as you can cheat and exploit others. They are the capital of smart people who also cheat. Living in a large population does it to them, but they don't even try to be the "bigger person."

They worship MONEY, MONEY AND MONEY only! China MAINLAND PEOPLE are arrogant! They don't care about other nationalities. they will trick, fool, and take advantage of anybody just to get what they want... no wonder they are not liked by most countries... They will only change attitude if they migrate to other countries.

In order to achieve their goals, China will do a lot of unthinkable behavior, including arrogance, and they exaggerate their ability to frighten opposity side, and then gain interest from that, for example, they want to engage in annexation of Taiwan, for decades, they used this way to scare Taiwan people.

4 Russia Russia, or the Russian Federation (RF), is a transcontinental country spanning Eastern Europe and Northern Asia. It is the largest country in the world by area, covering over 17,125,191 square kilometres (6,612,073 sq mi), and encompassing one-eighth of Earth's inhabitable landmass. Russia extends across eleven time zones and borders sixteen sovereign nations, the most of any country in the world. It is the ninth-most populous country and the most populous country in Europe, with a population of 145.5 million. The country's capital and largest city is Moscow, the largest city entirely within Europe. Saint Petersburg is Russia's cultural centre and second-largest city. Other major urban areas ...read more.

Russia has killed off and done more damage to itself than anyone else historically. They have killed off many of their great artists and creative citizens. They are the Masters of propaganda and BS. Russia better hope that their military is well programed otherwise it will get it's ass kicked in any long term war. Keep in mind their fearless leader Puton is a troll with Napoleon Syndrome, eventually someone will be successful in stepping on the troll.

I travel around and have seen arrogant Russian tourists in Italy, Cyprus, Turkey, Goa etc. They think they're superior and in worst case scenarios will start fights.

Russians are most selfish and arrogant nation ever. They have no respect to others. Even to their own citizens. Their cruel mind have no boundaries.
The fact alone that there is legal to slap, hit and kick kids is outrageous.
They are not helpful as hosts and annoying as tourists.
What the hell they can be proud off? Not a thing.

All Russians I have known have been arrogant. Perhaps nice but they sure walk with a stick up their ass and nose held high. They think Russia is perfect and no one else can win.

5 North Korea The Democratic People's Republic of Korea, also known as North Korea, is a country in Eastern Asia. Its capital is Pyongyang. It is currently ruled by the Juche leader Kim Jong-Un, after inheriting the title from his father, Kim Jong-Il, who in turn inherited it from his father, Kim Il-Sung.

North Korea's population as of February 18th, 2017 is 25,360,273.

North Korea is the third most corrupt country in the world, according to the CPI (Corruption Perceptions Index). It is also ranked 150th out of 163 nations in the Institution for Economics & Peace's Global Peace Index, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world. ...read more.

America comes in close second to North Korea, in my opinion. North Korean people are actually starving and in poverty, but the government keeps saying "we're the best country in the world, and everyone else is stupid, so let's make nukes". They take such pride in something that is nothing to be proud of.

They are so stupid they went back after the world cup and said to there president that they had won the world cup what a pile of rubbish... Please view my lists funniest football players names and best psy songs and best football boots and please vote for adidas not them stupid nike folk

I don't think its fair to call North Korea arrogant, more like government trying to deceive their citizens to prevent revolts.

These guys are so arrogant that they lock themselves in a hermit kingdom. THat's ignorant.

6 France France, officially the French Republic, is a sovereign state comprising territory in western Europe and several overseas regions and territories. The European part of France, called metropolitan France, extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and the North Sea, and from the Rhine to the Atlantic Ocean. France spans 675,000 km2 (251,000 mi2) and has a total population of 67 million (data from 2017). ...read more.

I remember, back when I was at middle school, there was this snobby French kid in my class. God, did I hate him. Every introduction, he'd say, "I excel," stressing the latter word, "in herpetology." I wouldn't be surprised if I heard another French kid say a thing like that. Everyday, he kept boasting about his "intellectual" capabilities. He acted all chic with his French language and even had that annoying vain voice. He was tall and had straight, blonde hair. I was short, so he always looked down on me. He was adored by teachers, but cursed by students. At least students like me. I always had a grin when he was corrected. I hated when he waved to students after winning some award. He was accepted to this prestigious private school. Guess what? He says, "it's not good enough for me." He made my middle school year like hell. I'm glad he went back to France. Now honestly, the French aren't necessarily all arrogant and haughty. It's just they really have some really arrogant bugs.

France is one of the best country in the world and French people are so kind.

Elegant people, clean streets, good shopping, powerful army, good economy, great language spoken in 57 countries.

117 different nationalities are represented which make France the most diversified country in Europe and one of the first in the world.

In every country you will find arrogant people, but French are not but they are shy and for that look maybe not kind, but is just a kind of protection. But they are always there to help you and to welcome you.

I had bad experiences in Europe, but never in France.

Even after having been attacked France is able to lead the COP21 (Global climate change summit) in Paris, and that less that one month after attacks.

Cop21 has been the world's greatest diplomatic success.

More than 150 heads of state landed in the French capital for the opening day. Barack Obama hailed the conference as "an act of defiance" in the face of terrorism.

And more than 40,000 delegates were present and representing 195 countries.

No doubt, Cop21 is an historical success.

We do suck those little kids who are pretending knowing French people and their habits, all is deeply wrong.
Just concerning - eating snails - First why not? Second, snails are eaten in more than 60 countries and France is low in term of consumption.
For the rest, I invite you to come in France, like that you will be able to enjoy and we will be able to look a mindless guy.

7 Italy Italy, (Italian: Repubblica Italiana), is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe.

Italy covers an area of 301,338 km2. With almost 62 million inhabitants, it is the 3rd most populous EU member state. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City. The Capital and largest city is Rome. Other major cities are Milano, Naples, Turino, Venice, Florence. Italy's official language is Italian. ...read more.

So arrogant country where live so arrogant people.

If you want to be stolen and not by foreign immigrants, but by local Italians, go there.

They drive like crazy, they never say hello, the cities are old and dirty, It smells sewers everywhere. Impossible to find a restaurant which is not Italian.

Hotels are really low quality and extremely expensive.

Be careful with policemen, they do not like foreigners, they arrest you and make mess.

Nobody in this country speaks something else than Italian.

It's a very old and boring country.

And for the beaches they are all private or full of rubbishes.

And for visiting only ruins, when it's possible to visit because of continuous strikes.

Escape to Switzerland, Austria or France, it's close and really more funny.

As Italian I travelled and worked in other countries in Europe and I can guarantee that I've never seen such as an ignorant, cocky, racist, close-minded country in the world. First of all I won't generalise here, but the vast majority of Italians are racist against EACH OTHER, yes you heard well. They exclude you from their circle if you don't wear branded clothes or you're not cool as they think they're. Completely disorganised and unprofessional at the workplace, besides they don't know what respect is. They love using sarcasm to mock others and they result to be in my opinion one if not the most arrogant country in the world. Finally the girls, the most haughty and full of themselves in the world. You can probably wait to see the end of the Israel-Palestinian war than get laid an Italian girl. The food isn't so bad, the quality of raw materials makes Italian food great. Art and nature are astonishing but really bad-managed. A beautiful country with the wrong people living in it.

Italians are rude, arrogant, coarse, uneducated, unpolite.

They believe they are the best of the world, and their country is just a ruin apparently tourists love the ruins
They hate anyone is not Italian they are or xenophobe or they treat you like a kid.

They 'drive' like unbrained people, they do not take care of their cities, landscapes, rubbishes every where, beaches all private and expensive, just for rich ignorant Italians and carbon copy of Italians.
Horrible country to live in and to visit.
Better stay in North.

Italian are the most arrogant, they believe their culture is better and have a deep hatred for other European countries.
by the way, Italian are also deeply racist, not only towards African, Arabs but also East-Asian, they are a shame for Europe and the worst thing is that they re-create their mafia-based system abroad.
This country is just dangerous for other nations.

8 Israel Israel, officially the State of Israel, is a country in Western Asia. It is situated on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea, and shares borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest; it is also bordered by the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively. Tel Aviv is the economic and technological center of the country, while its seat of government is in its proclaimed capital of Jerusalem, although Israeli sovereignty over East Jerusalem is unrecognized internationally.

The jews have written in their fantasy tomes that they are the "chosen people". There is no more supreme arrogance than that. They lie constantly, steal/cheat, are violent, self-entitled, cry constantly about how they were "abused" (the holocaust was nothing compared to what happened to others, like Russia. And, the Egyptian slave trade of jews did not exist - more lies.) Further, their very own religion was appropriated from Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism.

Israel is arrogant for no reason. All they do is swallow up European and American government money, and spend the money to slaughter innocent people (mainly children). They can't do anything themselves, always relying on America to do unnesccerasy dirty work. IsraHELL should be #1 on most arrogant and actually, disgusting and pathetic.

We are very arrogant and we have every damn right to be! Were intelligent, were the most developed country in the Middle East, we have over 350 different museums, were the only country in the WORLD that allows women to serve, and many more. Please remind me what we don't have to flaunt?

You forgot to mention that they are God's chosen race.
It baffles and saddens me, to read how terribly Jews have had it for centuries just to see them build the most racist and bellicose country in the world.

9 Germany Germany was formally united in 1871 under the initiative of Bismarck with King Wilhelm of Prussia as emperor. The previous 'Holy Roman Empire', basically a continuation of the empire of Charlemagne/Karl der Grosse was dissolved in 1806.

Some territory was lost after World War 1 and a lot more after World War 2, basically started by Hitler's Nazi dictatorship. Then the Soviets kept their zone - the 'DDR', East Germany, separate with a wall through the middle of Berlin, until 1990 when the country was reunited. ...read more.

Germans know nothing about other European countries while thinking they would know a lot. Germans like making fun of American obesity and guns. However, Germany is one of the most obese countries in the world and one with the most guns as private property.

Not only the most arrogant, but the most least educated nation by far. Younger Germans have no basic education and are very little educated. I blame reality T.V. and dumb T.V. shows. I am surprised with the behaviour of Germans abroad, they are loud, drunk, and have zero manners or respect. Always littering everywhere and showing off their beer bellies. Germans believe they are better than every nation but they are too blinded to know they really are not. Germans also moan about ''oh muh foreigners coming over here, taking our jobs'' when they can't be bothered to work themselves.

The percentage of the white population with German ancestry in the U.S. is 26%, not 57%. It should be remembered that most white U.S. citizens usually have more than one ancestry. It should not be inferred that 26% of the U.S. white population is of all German ancestry. I have a German last name and I'm 1/4 German, but the remainder is Scandinavian. I'm old enough to cringe when someone from Germany boasts about being "BADASS" at war.

It really surprises me ,how stupid the foundation of most comments here is.
First: this is a list of the country's with the most arrogant people.
Second: the national pride and arrogance is actually still existing but its just so silent that it should be no issue for anyone (except if you're in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ,they seriously hunt down black (please don't kill me) people at 1am)

10 Japan Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest.

Japan has a huge capital city called Tokyo, other cities in Japan include Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Nagoya and Sendai. It's close to South Korea, which is on the North West of it. It has a large population of 126.86 million people (Statistics Bureau of Japan. Retrieved April 27, 2016). ...read more.

By far the most arrogant people I have met. I have lived here for a couple years, and after a while, it became clear that they are not actually kind: they just speak kindly. They have a huge ego about their country being the most developed one, have a bad image of other countries, are racist, intolerant to a lot of things. I have to be honest here, they are really smart people, hard working, professional. But they do have a huge ego about their country, can be mean and disrespectful once you know them, and gossip a lot.. It is easy to interpret them as kind people, because the working staff are polite. But what about the customers?

Why the fudge is Japan here. This is probably not even an arrogant country cause to me, majority of them are AWESOME. Japan is by far the funniest countries too because of their T.V. shows. It's just hilarious and they are also very creative.

The japanese are one of the most educated nation in the world (in % of population). They have many reasons to be arrogant but their attitude is not to be arrogant! If I have to choose where to be born in Japan or Germany or UK, India, China or USA I would chose Japan!

What, are you kidding me? The Japanese are some of the most modest people that I have known. They never talk too big about themselves, unlike Mainland Chinese and Filipinos.

The Contenders
11 United Kingdom The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly shortened to United Kingdom, UK or Britain is a Sovereign State located of the Northwestern coast of Europe. It is a Parliamentary Constitutional Monarchy currently lead by Monarch Queen Elizabeth II and its current prime minister is Boris Johnson. The UK is a Unitary State consisting of Scotland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. It is currently a member state of the European Union, but as of 2016 has start the withdrawal process, and is set to leave the Union in October 2019. ...read more.

I was living in several european countries, but british people are the most arrogant, self-indulgent, false, and ignorant people that I've met. No idea why USA is on 1st place, they at least have some respect to other nations. In uk anything that's not british is automatically bad. People are talking about horrors of 2nd world war, but no one is talking about what mass murders brits were doing in India for example. Not to say about betraying allies and ignoring any treaties when it's not convenient for them to keep promises. And when they break them they of course act like nothing happened, refusing all criticism and guilt. If you will catch british thief's hand he will tell you that it's not his hand, and he will act like you offended him. Overall british people are lacking any social skills and they are disgusting in their behaviour.

They assume that all Americans are stupid and uneducated. Brits are extremely arrogant and racist people who don't even know why they're so full of themselves.

This is the average Brit's attitude: Because I'm from Britain, that automatically makes me a genius and better than everyone else. (especially Americans)

Another thing that annoys me about them is that they are easily offended people. If you get their accent wrong they'll act like a child and insult you. Americans could care less if you got their accent wrong. At least have a sense of humor!

Americans have a reason to be arrogant, Brits do not.

Remember, we're the patriots who risked our lives coming here. We've won countless wars and saved you guys numerous times. Show some appreciation. America is a great country!

Yes this is correct, you can't be arrogant without some reason, GB had the largest empire in the world (Land mass). It mechanised the world in the Industrial revolution. It had the most powerful navy in the world for a century. It's list of achievements, inventions and military successes would fill a library. For the size of the Country it is (or should I say was) without equal. If you put any race on earth in America they could not fail to become powerful with all the resources that they have available. They do however have a core of clever resourceful people, many are probably from European extraction, who have made the best of what they have. That cannot be said of many countries in the world that have fantastic resources but have chosen to squander it. So I am afraid this list is basically a list of the countries that other people are most jealous of or like to hate because they feel inferior.

Yep, this is expected. The British ruled a very vast and successful empire. It's human nature for someone of a certain nationality to be proud of their country's success good or bad. I can say the same for France, Spain, Portugal, etc. Too many people there dream about their former power, because it's somewhat of pride to them. You have to understand that any nation that went from being powerful to not a big power anymore will obviously have some form of ''missing of the old days''. It's okay though, the younger British generation are now being taught about the empire (a lot of European nations haven't reached this yet, Britain has made several changes in the past years).

12 South Korea South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea (ROK), is a country in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula and sharing a land border with North Korea. Its western border is formed by the Yellow Sea, while its eastern border is defined by the Sea of Japan. South Korea claims to be the sole legitimate government of the entire peninsula and adjacent islands. It has a population of 51.75 million, of which roughly half live in the Seoul Capital Area, the fifth largest metropolis in the world. Other major cities include Incheon, Busan, and Daegu. ...read more.

They are extremely sexist, racist and classist. They are nowhere near being civilized as they teach people that the only way to live in this world is by being pretty, and if you're not pretty than go under the knife and change how you look as this is the only way you're guaranteed a better future. Also the government is so messed up although the strengthened the country's economy. They think it's "okay" if they bully and make fun of the bi-racial kids. And there entertainment industry is overhyped and there's little talent left.

If "Not all of them are like that" then not all Americans or Indians or Russians are like that. Therefore you cannot say "not all of them are like that". Koreans are always arrogant and take credit for everything. They claimed that a Korean guy had the highest IQ even though there were still a couple people that beated him. I sometimes hear Korean people talking about how Korea will be the strongest country in the world in 20 years. What a load of rubbish!

I don't hate South Korea as a country. But I just don't like some of them are very relatively homogeneous society. Koreans have been taught since elementary school that they are ''ethnically homogeneous.''. Most of them doesn't really welcome foreigners specially foreign people comes from poor country. And too much obsessed with skin color,materialism,branded and expensive stuff. But lucky,I've met some good and broadminded Koreans who are Christians,educated and well-travelled. It made a big difference... Someday South Korea slowly-slowly become an open-minded towards foreigners.

Most are very arrogant people they feel like they are very talented, hot and best...arrogant as f! I can't stand!...good looks with very mediocre average talent (well, only good looks because of plastic surgery) the talents are low quality as f!

13 Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia, officially the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), is a country on the Arabian Peninsula in Western Asia. It has a land area of about 2,150,000 km2 (830,000 sq mi), making it the fifth-largest country in Asia, the second-largest in the Arab world, and the largest in Western Asia. It is bordered by the Red Sea to the west; Jordan, Iraq, and Kuwait to the north; the Persian Gulf, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to the east; Oman to the southeast; and Yemen to the south. Bahrain is an island country off the east coast. The Gulf of Aqaba in the northwest separates Saudi Arabia from Egypt. Saudi Arabia is the only country with a coastline along both the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf, and ...read more.

Islam is another source of extreme arrogance. Allah does NOT exist and their bastardization of other religions contains violence to anyone who questions them or that they do not like for whatever whimsical reasoning.

Most arrogant and ignorant country in the world should be number 1 in the list

14 Australia Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is a sovereign country comprising the mainland of the Australian continent, the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands. With an area of 7,617,930 square kilometres (2,941,300 sq mi), Australia is the largest country by area in Oceania and the world's sixth-largest country. Australia is the oldest, flattest, and driest inhabited continent, with the least fertile soils. It is a megadiverse country, and its size gives it a wide variety of landscapes and climates, with deserts in the centre, tropical rainforests in the north-east, and mountain ranges in the south-east.

As a nation, they believe they are the most important in the world. The phrase 'it's the best/biggest/highest/richest in the world' is used on a daily basis. Unfortunately for them, people who come here from around the world love the country, love the culture but find this sort of ignorance utterly irritating. They have to be the best at everything, and if they aren't they find an answer as to why Australia picked t not be best', I have never lived in a country like it! They literally can't believe that any other country does anything better than them, however, if you look at world rankings for most things, Australia is middle of the table for most. Love this country, but can't stand the arrogance (I wouldn't mind so much if they actually had a lot to be arrogant about).

I live in Australia so can speak first hand. Australians are without doubt the most arrogant people in the world hands down. They are self obsessed, think the world revolves around them, they think the world actually cares about what Australia thinks and they think they are right about everything and everybody else is too stupid, backward, uncivilised and stupid to know anything. They are disgustingly racist and think the world comprises of England, Australia, USA, Canada New Zealand and the barbarian lands beyond the borders of the above mentioned countries. They are generally ignorant, ave very very poor persona hygiene, dress like slobs and are completely upside down - women act like men, men act like women. Disgusting.

Blind Patriotism. Most of us haven't been overseas, and if we have it's to Bali or New Zealand. We are so cut off from the UK, USA, and Europe. We are shut off as our news outlets are horrifically inward facing and instead of reporting global stories, we talk about muggings, stabbings, theft and car chases in local neighborhoods of Brisbane... it's crazy. I love my country because it's so beautiful, but I can definitely see why people think we are arrogant. We have no grounds to be, the only thing we have invented are the fridge and wifi (even though most people think we invented the internet (that was the UK)). My fellow countrymen won't want to hear it, but we are so far behind Europe in literally everything, but we will always claim to be the best because we know no better. Sydney is the most global city in Australia, so they are not so arrogant, but Melbourne has a HUGE minority complex.

I love Australia, but yeah.. we are basically south sea yanks who get a free pass for things yanks cop it for. I loved my expat years in California, people were friendlier, and perhaps because I was not in LA; the level of self-absorbed narcissism towards themselves and their country was non existent next to Brisbane. Most Aussies are kind decent and humble people as individuals, but in regards to their identity you won't find a more self absorbed, smugly superior lot. It's really the media, both here and abroad.

This country is made up of the poor peasants of Europe and ex-Nazi fugitives and for some odd reason they believe that they are, not only better than Europe, the best of the Latin American countries. Their only export to the world is soccer and the word "Che! " I have yet to meet a humble Argentinian. Mexico is an industrial powerhouse as is Brazil and Colombia and Argentinians have the audacity to belittle them. Soccer is not everything in life.

They think they are better than Europeans because of stupid reasons. Some even think they are the best Latin American country, but what do they have against countries like Mexico, for example? I don't really see what they are so proud of, besides the reasons above. This stereotype dominates Latin America, but I believe they should have something better to worry about. I'm only reciting what a Latin American may say.

Seems many folks herewith talk about countries they know very little about, only of some superficial knowledge mixed with the usual nonsense/stereotypes from the media and so forth. Re: Argentina: Poor peasants and ex nazi fugitives? Only soccer and the word "Che"? Give me a break! (E.g.: Who invented/discovered fingerprints AND: The heart bypass operation,... for starters? --- Shall I go on? )

The most arrogant people I have ever met in my life and they have no reason to be because the whole country is made up of peasants and the trash of Europe. I love soccer and every time there is a game at the Bombonera, Boca Juniors home ground, there is always a crowd of cannibalistic hooligans ready to attack. They are truly nasty people with no education.

16 Iran Iran, also known as Persia, officially the Islamic Republic of Iran, is a sovereign state in Western Asia. The capital city is Teheran and the major city is also Tehran. The country's official language is Persian.

Iran is a multicultural country comprising numerous ethnic and linguistic groups. ...read more.

Nothing is good about this country. They claim territory that doesn't belong to them, abuse foreign migrants, erase their own minorities. They care about little other than reviving their crumbled Persian empire.

As I saw in Iran, the people are kind, and most of them do hospitality in front of foreigners.
Maybe some of them feel some tourists don't know some heritages or sights and hence they try to introduce them.
about 60 percent speak English just at the basic but some people especially in large cities can speak English.

Iranians behave maliciously and do not care about others' rights.

They love to remind everybody every 5 minutes that they are "Persian" and of superior culture while being aggressive and constantly violating everyone's rights.
Loud party at 3 am? Why not? We are persians!

17 Poland Poland, officially the Republic of Poland, is a country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west; the Czech Republic and Slovakia to the south; Ukraine and Belarus to the east; and the Baltic Sea, Kaliningrad Oblast (a Russian exclave) and Lithuania to the north.

Wouldn't you want a bit of pride if you get invaded every 2 years?

Polish believe everything in Poland is the best on the planet.

They just can't into space, even if their lives depended on it.

18 Pakistan Pakistan was established in 1947 and is located in South Asia. Islamabad is the capital city of Pakistan. Karachi, Lahore and Peshawar are other major cities of Pakistan. Urdu and English are official languages of Pakistan. World's second highest peak (K-2) and ninth highest peak (Nanga Parbat) are located in Pakistan.

Their country is corrupt as hell and extremist and they are doing nothing about it other than blaming the West, forcibly converting their own minorities and brutalising people for blasphemy. Hypocrites to the core.

I have a Pakistani Colleague. She always brags about how rich her family is, she said she does not know how to tie her shoes because they have so many servants to do that. She always boasts about being in England just because her sisters and their families migrated there but she was only there once but she is more telling her stories about England than her own country. She always brags about shopping in HM and brags about spending this amount. apparently, she has only one jacket for the whole winter season. She tried to apply for a visit visa for UK from China and was denied and blaming China law. her reason for being denied? not enough money in the bank. She always talks about how good and beautiful she is. When you are withe her, she has only one story to talk about, how good, rich and beautiful she is.

Packis think there don't stink but there is probably the worst, the whole Middle East is a bunch a en camel jockeys that want the western world as there's, if there so en proud stay in your own section of the world, God put you in a desert to en die, don't come to our countries to ruin them an convert them! Fit in or off!

I'm from China. I have a friend who's from Pakistan. He is one of the kindest persons I have ever met. He's extremely humble too. Long live China-Pakistan brotherhood!

Brazilian are crazy and they will use all the water of the world, they are always going to the bathroom, taking shower every minute, every ho your. d on't matter if its hot or cold, they are always taking shower and saying to you how you need to take take shower and how foreigners are so dirty. They are always brushing their teeth, every second! In the house, in the school, in the work they are always brushing their teeth, its annoying. If you sneeze, burp or fart next to them its like the end of the world for Brazilians, they will ignore and never talk to you for the rest of your life. You can't smoke next to them too, you will see the angry in their eyes, they hate people who smoke. Brazilians don't eat with their hands, its almost impossible to see them eating a sandwich or a pizza with their hands, its always forks and knives. It's a country obsessed with cleaning, very annoying people.

I learned portuguese because it was suppossed to be useful(I live in another south american country), couldn't get far because meeting brazilians was painful, they always talk to you like you're worse than them.

As a Brazilian now living in Argentina I must say, Brazilians are incredible annoying and closed-minded, here in Argentina most people I know are educated and respectful, they respect you regardless of religion(or lack of), sexual orientation or gender unlike in Brazil. In Brazil if you're not a Christian you're looked down by society and considered satanist(especially if you're an atheist), also Brazilians are extremely closed-minded about homosexuality, they think people choose to be gay, they think gays can be cured and they love to make fun of gays. Also most Brazilian teens are extremely annoying and like to show off their iPhones to make other people jealous, I'm truly glad I left that hellhole called Brazil, truly a disgusting and ignorant country.

Brazilians of German, portuguese, Italian or polish descent are extremely rude and annoying with foreigners. I met some European Brazilian girls from the upper class in trip to Disney, they always find a way to say her country is better and your country is trash. They say extremely rude things like Americans are fat, American middle class is dumb, Mexicans are not beautiful, Europeans are smelly dirty, Europeans smoke a lot, they don't like to smoke and other bad stereotypes... Some girls of Brazil will say you are ugly, one of my friends was called not beautiful by a cute blonde Brazilian girl in the party. Even in a nice trip, they are always saying how the place is not good and how they wanna go back to Brazil. White Brazilians seems to don't like Latin Americans, Anglo Saxon Americans and they don't like Europeans too, most because they feel isolated and forgotten by their ancient European home countries, most Italy, Portugal and Germany. Preppie Brazilian girls were always ...more

Dutch Low Saxon and Limburgish are recognised regional languages, while Dutch Sign Language, Sinte Romani, and Yiddish are recognised ...read more.

The Dutch are too vain, they think they're the best at everything but the opposite is true! They think they are the richest in Europe, yeah they might earn a little more than the rest of Europe, but if you look at the prices of real estate and the rest of the products in shops, you can see that everything is overpriced and that they can't do very much with their money. For example, real estate is so much more expensive than in neighbouring countries, for the price of a terraced house in The Netherlands you can buy a big detached house with a large garden in France or Germany.

The Dutch are very self-centered and hypocrite with their double standards.On the other hand they like to lecture others and like to make a discussion about almost everything. Furthermore they are very calvinistic and don't want to see "the others" have more wealth than themselves. Many of their women are very fake, inmature and two faced/false and often have princess syndrome. The men are passive agressive, probably because of the Dutch women their behaviour and because it is "not done" in their culture to openly show anger and masculinity.

I'm Dutch and I just know the Dutch are the most arrogant of all. The Dutch swear too much and they think they can do and say everything they want, so they insult other people constantly. I have also visited other countries in Europe, like Belgium, France, Germany, England and the people are so much kinder, open-hearted and in those countries people have respect for one another! The Dutch are definitely the worst!

They are smug know it alls who aren't as clever as they think they are, not as liberal or tolerant as they think they are, love to lecture you about things they don't understand then say they're just being honest, just telling it like it is. They look down on everyone who isn't Dutch, they have no sense of subtlety or self-awareness.

Way too prideful.
They put themselves above others in everything. They brag about themselves and say degrading things about other countries.
I have never seen such a shamelessly prideful country before. Toxicity oozes out of them. So great and yet spread around the whole world. If you are that great and mighty, stay in your own slump of a country.

Must be way higher in the list.
Too much toxic pride when they don't even deserve to be prideful. Always bragging about themselves to be the best in everything.

Filipino-Canadian here. I know this may be a totally different perspective, but there are many Filipinos who are immigrating to Canada. Some are honestly very narrow-minded. They ONLY talk to other Filipinos (as long as they could speak Tagalog) as if they're still in the Philippines and to fit in with other Filipino groups. Plus, some of those groups can be very rowdy in public (especially those cliques of ONLY Pinoys in high school). But not all Pinoys are like that. I've met some who could tolerate other individuals' ability to speak said language. (I don't know if this also applies to Filipinos who immigrated to other countries such as the US.)

Filipinos are one of the most arrogant people on Earth. They think they are the best people in the world when they are not even close to being the best. Philippines is not even rich, there are many slum areas and drug addicts in the country. It is not safe at all especially in Mindanao which is full of ISIS terrorists. Because of crab mentality, Philippines will never develop and will remain a poor filthy country.

22 Qatar Qatar, officially the State of Qatar, is a sovereign country located in Southwest Asia, occupying the small Qatar Peninsula on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula.

I am well travelled and can confidently say that Awiss are one of the most arrogant and self boasting peole on earth. It is impossible that during a conversation the subject of Swissh being the most efficient, tiddy and educated peole etc doesn't come in. They are also one of the most mnetally secluded people. Hatred for the foreigners is quite open unlike Britain, America and South Korea.
