How would you describe the mentality/culture of your ethnicity and influences?

[pajkosbalna]

Prone to corruption,
pessimism, patriotism, nationalism, racism, islamophobia(for good or ill)

besides racism, often hateful towards other euro ethnicities

feel of nostalgia for earlier stages of history when "Hungary was great"

can be cold or warm, depending on the situation

like eating and drinking alcohol a lot.

The country may be conservative in some ways (esp from a Western Euro pov) but sexually it's quite liberal.

Religion isn't very taken seriously by the general population.

Accurate

[pajkosbalna]

I would complete Universe’s list with hungarians not just hating often other euros but themselves also.

There is that little joke about hungarians in hell: every nations people are in a big hot kettle each. By every kettle there is a guard preventing ppl from getting out of it, except for the hungarians. They dont need it bc once someone is about to get out, the others pull him back

When a Frenchman sees an elephant, he thinks "what a big creature"

When a German sees an elephant he thinks " it must eat tons"

When an American sees an elephant he thinks "how many hamburger I could make after shooting it"

When a Finn sees an elephant he thinks "what does it think about me"

Some things from Slovakia.


Don't expect smiles on the streets, in winter it looks like depression clinic.
Beer/Alcohol is tied with culture here and believe me Slovaks can drink alot without getting drunk that fast.
Racist jokes are a norm here, you can literally joke about everything and noone will give a shit, that's actually not that bad thing cause that's real freedom of speech.
Slovaks can turn from pessimists to optimists in just matter of seconds. The best example is hockey world championships IIHF. Slovaks always have shit start and there the shit talk starts and how useless they are, but when they get through by a luck, suddenly they are the best players ever.
Slovaks like to have their opinions, if they read something whether its wrong or right they will stick to it and it will be hard to convince them that it's not true.
People from eastern Slovakia are much more friendlier and talkative than those from western Slovakia.
Don't complain about the country if you're a foreigner, people would crucify you.
Gossip talk in work scene is a national sport also.

Those are few things I could think of.

So I guess Poles are very similar.

Not how I would describe Master Ymyyakhtar or Seppo Räty.

[Sora]

Too conservative(unfortunately it's at "bigotry" level) & indestructible taboos. Of course not all Turks are like that, even it's decreasing in new generation thankfully.

Also we're very hospitable. We try doing our best for the guest

[The Lawspeaker]

I would prefer to see one of the Brits, the Germans or Southern rebels against God, King and Country (har har har !) describe the Dutch. That should paint a more neutral picture.

- Learn how to be independent in any aspect, as there's not going to be anyone who will help you.

- Work hard in order to succeed in life.

- Life is not easy, so beware.

- Make a steady family.

- Live decently.

- Always be aware of your surroundings, as there are potential hazards from anyone and anything.

- Don't fear speaking for yourself when you're right. When you're wrong, you have no right to opposition.

Some of the teachings my parents taught me.

Suomalainen on sellainen, joka vastaa kun ei kysytä,
kysyy kun ei vastata, ei vastaa kun kysytään,
sellainen, joka eksyy tieltä, huutaa rannalla
ja vastarannalla huutaa toinen samanlainen:
metsä raikuu, kaikuu, hongat humajavat.
Tuolta tulee suomalainen ja ähkyy, on tässä ja ähkyy,
tuonne menee ja ähkyy, on kuin löylyssä ja ähkyy
kun toinen heittää kiukaalle vettä.
Sellaisella suomalaisella on aina kaveri,
koskaan se ei ole yksin, ja se kaveri on suomalainen.
Eikä suomalaista erota suomalaisesta mikään,
ei mikään paitsi kuolema ja poliisi.

A Finn is one who answers when not asked,
asks when not answered, does not answer when asked
one who gets lost in his way home, shouts on the beach
and on the opposite side of the lake shouts another similar:
the forest roars, echoes, the old pine trees hum.
There the Finn comes and grunts, is here and grunts,
there goes and grunts, like he was in sauna and grunts
when the other throws water on the stove.
Such a Finn always has a Friend
never is he alone and that Friend is another Finn
And there is no power under Sun that can separate a Finn and a Finn,
apart from death and the police.
