"!!!Americans Are Thick!!!"

Americans are all thick! Really! Once I went on a vacation to the US and this American made a very small mistake about Europeans and I laughed in his face because he was wrong. This means ALL Americans must be stupid!

Americans all have bad grammar! I was watching the news and this guy from Alabama was talking like this “I tink me saw a humangus UFO”. I can’t believe Americans talk like that. Can’t they be more like the English. I bet American schools pass students even if they do nothing because Americans just are not smart. This means ALL Americans must have bad grammar!

George Bush is a stupid President! He does everything wrong! I make fun of him because he is stupid. Very stupid. ALL Americans think George Bush is awesome though!

While I was on vacation in the US I saw a couple of overweight people on the beach. I giggled under my breath but I didn’t tell him what I thought in their faces. ALL Americans want to become slimmer. They are ALL so fat. None of the people in my neighborhood are that obese so no one in my country must be obese. I think ALL Americans should go on a diet to look better.

I once saw this American on a television show and he kept on saying obnoxious things like “gnarly” and “totally killer dude”. ALL Americans talk funny!

American names are dumb. ALL Americans have names like Bill and Jimmy. Who would give their son such a dumb name, can’t they get a UK name to look cool. This is really bothering me. They should fix this as soon as possible because I hate it. ALL Americans have dumb names.

Americans are crazy. I saw this show that some American people made and all they do is fall off stuff and break their bones and streak in parks and stuff. Americans do some crazy things. I told this American I saw on the street to do something crazy for me and he refused. I knew he could do it though because he was American. He just didn’t want to because he is dumb. Americans are ALL so crazy.

Americans are lazy bums. All Americans do all day is sit in front of their televisions and get fat on crisps. They don’t call them crisps though. They call them chips. Chips are a completely different food! They are so stupid and lazy. ALL Americans are lazy.

I hate this American at work. I hate him so much! He screams a lot and he is so annoying. He just won’t stop talking! I hate this one American therefore I hate ALL Americans!

Americans are so stereotypical! Come on, just because there is this one British man in a movie with a strong English accent doesn’t mean ALL British people have that accent. Americans are so stereotypical! AND STEREOTYPING A GROUP OF PEOPLE IS WRONG.

All Americans are thick!

Ohhh the irony...

and with a tagline like that you're headed for a banning, you cretin

make the voices s**top > it seems we, well not we, YOU, are suffering from a bad case of paranoia. Seeing as I wouldn't know that you are american unless you told me, how could I be prejudiced towards you, and drunk cow, who by the way, I happen to like.

I don't dislike any race or culture, jus**t people who s**tir sh*t

ok.. im sorry i just have to speak up.. im an american( probably the only other one in the forum) and all you who enjoy mocking Americans.. thats your problem.. we're not all the way you portray us,some of us ARE intelligent and educated and use proper grammar( i'm not saying i'm one of them if you decide to use that as a counterattack). For your information, we DONT make stupid jokes about you and call you pathetic.. so why should you do it to us? By making caustic remarks about all americans(as if you know every single american on this planet), you are only showing that you are ignorant, narrow-minded and racist.. drunk is trying to be a little bit nicer about it because he values your friendship.. but as I have none here but Drunk , i have nothing to lose.
get a life.
sincerely,
an american who thinks some people need to wake up

It happens anywhere DC, not just to America.

According to many (this in fact a sterotype too, that we are viewed in this way) English people are viewed as Lazarou said. I am English, but I dislike stiff upper lips. Uncomfortable after a time, I find. Anyhoo, I like crumpets and tea - they are tasty little snacks.

Of course, the French are all passionatly in love with art and sausages, Italians love their mothers, and the Russians drink vodka and don't care about anything but the 'revolution'. Its not just the USA.

a nice topic drunk cow, and I thought americans couldn't grasp the rich english humour that is irony. well done mate

oh yeah :

George Bush is a stupid President! He does everything wrong! I make fun of him because he is stupid. Very stupid.

hit the nail on the head there too ..... :o)

how about :

All English are stuck up toffee nosed 'drink tea with the queen' stiff upper lipped snobs?

just a thought

If I'd had the choice, I'd have been born somewhere in coastal Australia. Sod America, Oz is the place to be!

I only apologised because to some people - hey another generalisation - something like that will undermine everything you've typed !

Yeah, but only in the same way as folk myths are based on fact; there is a grain of truth in them, but that has been distorted to the point of fallacy.

Stereotypes are based on fact.
