    The amount of people here who believe that Romanian = Gypsy is mind boggling, even in the papers you'll see obvious gypsies just being listed as 'Romanian' and nothing else

    i dont know how much stereotypes exists about Czechs, but at least one is true, IMHO:
    Each Czech is Mister-Know-It-All

    That, either, we are Arabs or a Kurdish/Iranian group who got "Assyrianized" and began to speak Aramaic. These are the most common assumption about us.

    consuming red meat all the time is not the healthiest habbit you could adopt

    Especially pork, which is the most unhealthy kind of meat

    Well I have to say that the way people treat me now that I live in Canada is different than it was in the US, and not in a way I like. I always tell people when I can that I was born in the US to Canadian parents to avoid confusion about my background when I mention I live in Canada lol, but I have noticed that now people seem to see me as Canadian by default (mainly Non-Canadians) that people seem to assume that I'm a fucking pushover, that I must be super nice, that I must always be forgiving, and even that I must be a bit naive and lazy, and that I must be liberal even though these things are not true and I'm getting really tired and sick of them I honestly really wish people would treat the way they did before tbh I absolutely hate the stereotypes, but not only that people seem to think they can get away with being ruder to me now because they think I won't get revenge or delete them but they'll end up being surprised that yeah I do not tolerate that and I will never be miss fucking sweetheart about it. If you think this about me you better fuck off because I am not this type of person and you will REGRET being rude to me! And if do you are probably on my hated TA members list which is in my notebook btw lol.
    =(^.^)=

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.
