What are some stereotypes about your country that aren't actually true? The "dumb fatasses obsessed with guns" stereotype is fairly spot on, but I have never, EVER heard someone clap in a movie theater.
>>
>>67974116
The clapping is more common for more highly-anticipated franchise movies in my experience. Like Godzilla, Star Wars TFA, Batman v Superman. Otherwise most people don't clap.
>>
I have heard people clap in theaters before. Always makes me cringe a bit.
>>
BUT YEAH I BET YOU SHART!!
>>
Clapping and cheering should be made illegal, tbqh.

>>67974608
Showing appreciation for things is a good thing.

Americans are rather polite.

It isn't fun. Clapping and cheering is generally cringey as fuck.

We do drink a lot but we're good natured drunks and don't fight like the yanks think we do for some reason

We don't clap after films or a plane lands but everyone and I mean everyone says thank you to the driver when they get off the bus

that doesn't answer why you clap all the time

Suicidal depressed silent alcoholics

Pretty accurate
>>
I've only seen people clap in a theater once in my life. It started with this older man that I recognized from my work who was very eccentric / autistic. He stood up after Pan's Labyrinth and started clapping very enthusiastically. A few of the girls started laughing nervously, but then a couple guys decided to clap along with him and cheer. Then the whole audience joined in together clapping, laughing, and cheering.

No one was clapping or cheering for the movie, we were just doing it so he wasn't doing it alone.

It was pretty great actually.
>>
I don't know any stereotypes aside from meme-tier ones like "le sheep fuggers XD"
>>
All the stereotypes for finns are pretty much spot on.
>>
The shitty cuisine meme comes from WW2 era Americans coming to Britain where rationing was enforced.

It's not that bad, it's not great but it's okay.
>>
>>67976433
Also our dental health is much better than the US, it's free for everyone under 18 and above that it is mostly subsidised.
>>
>>67976433
There are heaps of British shops here set up by Pom immigrants, I used to love going to them as a kid because they sell sherbet fountains and other lollies you can't usually buy here.

Also full English is pretty GOAT

All Western stereotypes about my country are not true. Russia is land of beautifull superrior elfs IRL (but we have some amount of adopted Ukrainian goblins for dirty work also - these half-animals usually has been used in Western propaganda as example of our barbarity).
>>
>>67976550
I saw this movie last night. one person clapped two claps then stopped because no one joined in
>>
>>67976656
The most common stereotypes about Russia are that you are a depressing shit hole with depressed alcoholics and that you swallow propaganda like candy and that you vote for people like Putin because you are like backwards children.

No. In California the stereotype is that someone says the word "gun" out loud and then everyone starts screaming and running while taking selfies of themselves crying for their instagrams

Butthurt of Ukrainian migrant detected.

Almost ALL of the stereotypes originated from italian-americans (a scum category of southern people mixed with everything from moroccans to puertoricans to salvadoreans to afrAms...but ''muh ithaliaaan heritaggje!!!11!!''), or if the stereotypes are true (loud people, etc.), originated in some zones of our deep shitty south often more than 50 years ago.

Also a lot of sandniggers from North Africa ot Middle East around North Europe and Anglo countries try to pass themselves as italians (i don't know why) and many people are stupid and believe them.

It's a Russian dream to live like that, not the reality.

Nobody actually sleeps siesta in the modern world, other than maybe on holidays.

Siesta was done by farmers who simply could not go outside and work the fields in the Spanish summer during peak heat hours, so they took a small nap to keep working later. In the post-industrial world, most people work in the third sector this is no longer possible or sensible.

>>67977054
It's not propaganda it's fuckin everyday life in Russia. True Russians don't give fuck about politics or propaganda - we are ok about our Emperor, but we absolytely ignoring all political matters - we just have funny gedonistic life instead.
"Russian" people who constantly blah-blah about politics in Internets actually are migrant slaves.

it's pointless unless someone who was involved in the production of the movie is at the theater and can receive the applause

they're just applauding a screen

They wish. Majority of them still use Russian as the main spoken language instead of Ukrainian.

there is no German cuisine, retard. There are German regional cuisines. Bavarian cuisine for example is closely connected to Czech cuisine and Austrian cuisine.

Yeah I have no idea where that meme comes from, because lots of white women are plain just not attracted to black people. Loads of my black friends will get rejected by white girls all the time.

Nah. It's beauty standards. I'm from a state which is like 90% white and we just don't really see a lot of black people. Naturally they'll gravitate to whites, but everyone is different and I may be completely generalizing. Just sone anecdotal evidence.

Russian occupation of Crimea. IRL Crimeans dreamed about join to Russia all times of Ukrainian existence.

I've seen American talk shows. If he wanted applause, all he needs to do is say the name of a popular movie or maybe namedrop a cause he's into.

>>67978201
It's not about Crimeans, Ukraine didn't want it so it's an occupation.

You don't need to worry about wildlife in Australia apart from snakes in long grass. All the tourists get hyped about it

What about spiders in your toilets and scorpions in your shoes?
>>
>>67974116 (OP)
>What are some stereotypes about your country that aren't actually true?

Tartars are Mongoloids. IRL erhnic Tartars live in Wester countries but local cucks even can't recognise their ethicity.
>>
>>67978558
You've got a better chance of finding a spider on a wall or ceiling than actually in a toilet. The shoes thing is more for people in rural areas that get more wildlife activity. If you live in a city that sort of thing generally doesn't happen. Having said that I do sometimes shake my boots out just in case.
>>
>>67978510
Yeah I dont know why americans are so scared of snakes and spiders, they're nothing compared to wolves or a fucking bear.
