What's the most incorrect thing foreigners think about you country?

[Tooting Carmen]

Colombians look no different to Peruvians and Bolivians. Colombians are all drug dealers. British and French people look identical (as if all of France were like Normandy, Brittany and Picardy lol). British people are more snobbish and classist than other Europeans.

[Nazarene]

They think that we're similar to Australians lmao

[jingorex]

who cares?

[arkas]

Everything they think about Australia is true, we have many dangerous and poisonous creatures living here and I'm not even talking about the spiders or snakes. We ride to school in kangaroo pouches and are taught to wrestle crocodiles from a young age. The only thing that isn't true is that we don't refer to shrimp as shrimp, we call them prawns.

That North Italians are *a lot* fairer than all other meds. I don't know how much is trolling and how much is misconception though. That pizza is something we grew up eating and that our grandmas would make.

As for Brazilians, honestly I don't think our stereotypes are totally misconceived, taking into account the regions that foreigners deal with.

It's ruled by patriots

[lei.talk]

would you be surprised to learn
every one of those nature films and politically powerful scenes

are fake?

that bold cry by the american eagle is dubbed.

the voice you hear is of the red-tailed hawk.
the bald eagle has an uninspiring chittering chirp.

wikipedia would like to know
who originally dubbed that scream.

the female bald eagle is always shown
because she is noticeably larger than the male.

one disillusionment after an other.

That Germans only live for their work, when in reality it`s just the vast majority of them.

Also our cuisine is actually much more diverse than Schnitzel, Bratwurst and Sauerkraut.

Thats Germanys wealth is contributed to the general population, when in reality the middle class is a dying breed, home ownership is lowest in Europe and the tax burden,rent and energy costs are on of the highest.

The Germans and German descendants I know actually have a pretty good work/life balance, often better than that of Italians and say, Americans.
I see that you all have a more disciplined, no-nonsense behavior and are a lot more stubborn. While we often work long hours, we spend a lot of time with bullshit tasks.

There are two sayings for Germans in the South of Brazil: "Germans are not stubborn, stubborn are the ones who keep trying to argue with a German", and "The way to make a German fit an elephant inside of a VW Beetle is to tell him that it's impossible."
