I’m Filipina. Everyone has probably heard the stereotype about young Filipinas marrying older White men. Guilty as charged, I fit that stereotype.

    I have two higher educations since tuition is free here. I’m in good health, since healthcare is also free. I took out 18 months of paternity leave with our firstborn since we’re an equal society and my girlfriend (now wife) at the time was at uni.

    I have no issues queueing, waiting for my turn. I consider all others to have as much rights as I do to anything, no one is ever “above”.

    … so I’m from … ?

      Same, except I’m American and would be happy if I was mistaken for one of my northern next-door neighbors

      Tap for spoiler

      (I’m from Minnesota)

        Also from Minnesota here. For stereotypes, do you love the state fair? Are you friendly to strangers but don’t exchange contact info? Do you still have friends from elementary school?

    I like my country’s food and consider it the best, but I can acknowledge that some countries may have interesting ideas :P

    I don’t respect rules I consider dumb (earphones when cycling for example).

    My work life is not important in regard to my personal life.

          Ah French. I have to say the french are the absolute masters of Google reviews because they will knock stars off and complain about everything.

          Spaniard review: * * * * * Gente maja, birra buenísima y poca aglomeración

          German review: * * * * Das Bar ist super zentral gelegen und gut erreichbar

          French review: * A FUIR! Attention si vous venez a plusieurs et que pas tout le monde consomme ceux là ne doivent pas s’assoir sinon vous êtes humilier devant tout le monde vos amis famille etc. En gros vous venez a 4 et que 2 consomme vous allez recevoir les foudres de la patronne bref horrible accueil pas commercial et a la limite de la propreté! Moi ma fille a voulu m’offrir un café juste 5 mn avant que l’école ouvre ben du faite qu’elle ne consommait pas elle a humilier alors que c’est ma fille qui a payé le café et les bonbons pour les 2 petits et tout ça pour 5mn assis HONTEUX !

              Yeah I’m not french of course but it seems quite positive if the review refrains from starting with “à fuir!” and refrains from ending with “honteux”

    I’m Czech and I’m fat and love food and some what handy. So I could probably fit the stereotype. Also Pilsner Urquell best beer.

    I am Scottish, I own a kilt, and I love haggis and whisky. I have eaten the odd deep fried mars bar. I like the sound of bagpipes (I have to concede that the Irish uillean pipes are a much more versatile instrument BUT THEY’RE NOT AS POWERFUL)

    I suppose I sort of fit the one about calling myself Scottish before I call myself British, though I don’t consider the two incompatible if Scotland is part of the UK. I am both. Mostly I am just left in a terrible dilemma of whether to make fun of the French or the English more when the opportunity arises

      More? Why bother with a tally? Neither would tell you the truth if you asked them which you’d made fun of more, anyhow. Besides, it’s not like being “fair” would stop them from returning the favor, ad nauseum. 🤪

    Only thing I can think of is liking to have a lot of holidays.

    I’m from a Germanic colony, I fit much more their stereotypes.

    Hm, my mother is a Filipina who happened to marry an older white man, too.

    That aside, I do have a DIY mindset and love to tinker with technology at home.
