    Within the constraints that we might, in fact, have an incorrect idea of what foreigners think about our country, I'll start by saying that I think foreigners think that English people lack emotion. This isn't true at all, we can be very emotional, often in an aggressive way. But we do tend to try and hide more tender emotions from people we don't know.

    That we're slavic, It's like when u say to an Irish person that they're British . not considering the fact that most Hungarians has some slavic in them Or When the romanians (or someone else) say that we're mongols. When the Westerners think that we all know how to speak russian. And sure there are some other things... Foreigners usually think that Hungarians are generally sad people..

    Thinking that British people all sound like either Bennedict Cumberbatch or whatever Dick Van Dyke's accent was in Mary Poppins.

    Thinking that England is just another name for the whole of the UK.

    Thinking that, in general, Britons have awful yellow rotting teeth.

    That 'Flemish' be a different language from Dutch (while it's not even the official name of our language, it's Dutch).

    That Spaniards are majority olive skinned with very dark hair and eyes, or even that they are closer in looks and genetics to Moroccans than to other Europeans, lol

    That Venezuelans are uniformly balanced triracials or even worse: with far more African than European and Amerindian mixture, like the bunch of idiots from Foros Peru and other Internet forums claim. Without negating that Venezuela has noticeably more African input than most other mainland Latin American countries (exception made of Panama, Colombia, Brazil, Belize and the Guyanas), the stupidity they claim is very far from being true.
