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

[Finnish Swede]

Not how I would describe Master Ymyyakhtar or Seppo Räty.

More like this?

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 it seems that Slovaks are very much like Poles, then.

Basically everything is true and so do I see it the way like Universe has described Hungarians/Hungary. I kind of see it as a mix between the Western and Eastern world.

Some personal things:
-for my parents family is everything and it's the first before everything else
-football and/or politics is a very common discussion topic between people (which I think it's the best not to bring up, especially politics)
-don't expect the average person on the street to be very politically correct or sensitive to you
-many people can be cold or hard-headed but if you prove your trustworthiness and you are honest then you can talk about and do with them literally everything (not to be misunderstood here!)

Can you explain why Hungary ... well, sucks in Football? I mean, it was one of the first European countries after Great Britain to incorporate it as a sport, and Hungary was successful back in 1950s for instance.

I dont like Serbian hospitality toward shitty ex-Yugoslavia neighboring serbo-phobic nations.

I am sick seing Croatian, Bosnian Muslim and Slovene tourists coming to Belgrade. Why they come here, when even their temporary presence here is undesirable.
All other tourists from all over the world are welcomed, except them.

[Satem]

I don't like hospitability to East Slavs. They dare to come here after things their ancestors done and most of Polish nationalists talk "brothers Slavs" bla bla bla or "PLC forever", it's just pathetic. They wouldn't make Wolyn massacre(Lyssyi bros), partisions and bringing communism for 50 years(Ruski bros) and Belarusians who don't have any historical basis to exist so they larp as the main country continuing Lithuanian Principality which is just shameful. All other tourists from all over the world are welcomed but only as tourists.

Yup. I don't get it either, why the fuck are there russophiles in Poland is beyond me. And if Ukrainians want Poles to like them more they need to cut themselves off Bandera-stuff (I mean their attitude to it), but instead many of them do treat him like a national hero (yikes) and worship him (?!). And yeah ... those 'fellow Slav love' stuff is hypocritical.

Can you elaborate?

Will only mention where I live considering my background is mixed

London:

- People are dry, cold and boring generally.

- You can enter a corner shop and make a transaction without a single word being spoken to you by the cashier. They'll either talk to their colleagues in their own language or be on the phone the whole time or just be silent.

- There's a deeply adhered to but unspoken rule that you never ever attempt to converse with a stranger on public transport, especially during rush hour. Jesus the looks you will get if you try that lmao. I saw just how stark the difference was in the states where people are far more open to casual conversation, before I even stepped off the plane for the first time some Americans helped me find where my crossover terminal was because I had no phone data. London is way too introverted and reserved for its own good

- London is very culturally and socially divided and anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. There are areas full of Champagne Socialist whites and areas full of FOB families practicing FGM. There's very little fabric that ties the general populace together because people can just cluster in their own communities, people are naturally tribalistic so I don't know what everyone expected would happen.

- London is entirely different to the rest of England, people in the North and West are much more open and friendly. In fact when people leave London, that's usually where they go from what i've seen.

But we are fun people when it come to carnival, wooo woo
