Nexter Comics: Most Common and Annoying Stereotypes About Countries Around the World
Despite our world has changed much with the era of the Internet still there are widespread stereotypes about every nation that are annoying. Nexter.org made comics to illustrate and bust them.
#1 Canada is cold all year long and people there live in igloos
Actually, temperatures vary greatly by month and location – it is not rare to see above 30 C (86 F) temperatures in the summertime, in certain regions.
#2 All Russians love vodka
Most Russian households do keep vodka, and it is likely to be the liquor of choice at events, however people there also drink all other alcohol beverages as well.
#3 Germans drink a lot of beer
We all heard about Oktoberfest but recent government reports have shown that beer consumption is on the decline in Germany.
#4 The Japanese use chopsticks to eat sushi
Here’s a controversial one – sushi is meant to be eaten with chopsticks but some chefs prefer that diners use their hands to flip the sushi upside down and dip the fish in the soy sauce.
#5 All Irish have red hair
The Celtic nations—including Ireland—have higher occurrences of natural redheads, but even so, only about 10% of the population have red hair.
#6 English people love talking about the weather
Weather in Britain really changes a lot and of course, it becomes a topic of discussion. However, it doesn’t mean people here love to talk about it and expect you to do the same.
#7 All Chinese know Kung Fu
Planning a trip to China, some people expect to see a lot of Chinese guys, who know kung fu, or other martial arts. But the fact is very few Chinese actually choose to study this art of fighting.
#8 French people are rude
French people can be rude, but only if you’re rude to them. And vice versa, if you’re polite, they’ll respond with politeness, as well.
