As Mel Gibson said after making Braveheart! "Time to pick on the English!.!.!. the German's have had s hit for long enough!" Don't worry about it! If you complain, you become a self-obsessed ar se!. If you keep your trap shut, you don't mind, so let the bullsh*t continue!. lol
We are pretty good at stereotyping people ourselves though! lol!. Think about it!.!.!.!. frog's, spik's, jock's, paddy's, taff's, yank's, chink's, kraut's and yid's, to name but a few(of the more '''kind''' names we've given people!. All have a characature associated with them!.
Frog - French, snooty, garlicky, arrogant!?
Paddy - oirirish, thick, fighter's, rough!?
Yid - Jewish, secretive, rich, tight, big nose!?
It's all bollox! The world has become a very much smaller, more accepting and interracial place now, due to travel, communication's and most of all, the internet!. The stereotype is 'old' but the imagery has remained!. People will get bored and forget it, but celebrate your uniqueness, because at the rate the world's immigration is going(too fast - the reason ghetto's, religious and racial fear, and terrorism, all have a foothold in most free societies! Especially here in Britain)
I don't know how old you are!? But, I'm 35!. I could not have imagined, at 10/15 years old, that so many different nationalities, religions and culture's would be able to switch on a screen and enter into a civilised, friendly(or not!) chat, and give answers in person, to a question like yours!Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's a common stereotype that the Americans have of us; that we're all snooty tea drinkers! Just like lots of British people think that all Americans are overweight and stupid I guess!. It's the same with everything, there will always be stereotypes and cliches!Www@Enter-QA@Com
Australians do this, too!. I think that it's 60% jealousy that the English can speak better than we can and 40% good humour due to the fact it can be fun to emulate another's sound no matter what age you are!.

its a stupid stereotype that i totally don't agree with!. a lot of hollywood producers can be very stereotypical!. but dont worry, most of the american population dont think that!. only the superficial onesWww@Enter-QA@Com
