Top Ten Most Stereotyped Places In the World
I have a Middle Eastern friend who lives here in the United States and she was treated horribly by some people. She was born five days after the 9/11 attack and the doctors at her hospital weren't treating her properly. They called her a terrorist baby and were saying that it was better if she just died. Her mother was so worried and left the hospital about two days after she born which was really bad.
Many people stereotype this region as being full of terrorists and denying basic rights to women in the Muslim countries and greedy Jews in Israel.
I hate this, Donald Trump supporters: are you actually brainless? Its not because someone is Muslim that he's a terrorist, if 911 happened in Pakistan instead of in the US, no one woud care, its retarded
Their cultures (including the few non Arab cultures) have been slaughtered by the media.

Russian guy with thick accent, wearing ushanka, carrying AK47, wearing some sort of communist symbol, driving a military tank, while drinking vodka, listening to the Soviet anthem, wearing military anthem, with the red square in the back, and has pictures of Stalin in the tank.

I want to make one thing clear: Not all British people drink tea. This also applies to the UK (which includes Northern Ireland). I have never like tea at all, nor has anyone in my family had a soft spot for it. We all don't have Mini Coopers, some of us aren't evil and well... We don't have monocles or bowler hats constantly on with a gentleman's facial hair package.
Also, a Full English Breakfast is lovely... But let's be honest, it has bacon for breakfast... Can you blame me?
To be fair, I drink a lot of tea and love a Full English Breakfast and Eton Mess, and I do have a deep accent. But a lot of people don't. I also don't complain about the weather and other minor irritations 24/7, nor do I have terrible teeth or snob about people of a different background.
Is Britain on the list because it rains?
Most people do drink tea in Britain. Look at my family for example.
To be honest, so many are true! But the whole posh thing really isn't...
It's not just the south, but all of the U.S. (Much of it is in the south, though). Dumb, ignorant, fat, lazy, self-centered, racist, violent, arrogant, aggressive. People hate on the U.S., saying it's a horrible country...meanwhile there are places like North Korea..
