Stereotypes

People from all around the world are generally thought of a certain way just based on where they are from, what they look like, and what their culture is like. Texans are thought of as dumb, redneck, cowboys that want everything to be big, and are behind technologically (ride horses to school). New Yorkers are thought of as pretentious, rich, cocaine-snorting jerks. Japanese are thought of as Dolphin-murdering, people without souls, that are extremely good at math. Germans are thought of as mean, nasty schnitzel-eaters. French are snail-eating cowards. Middle-Easterners are all terrorists. Polish are just... Polish, nobody takes them seriously (same with Canadians). But the fact is that, yes there are people like this in these areas, but there are people like this everywhere, not just in a specific place. The world is so diverse and so are the people, so there is no possible way that all people of a specific race/country can all the the same. There are pretentious, cocaine heads in texas that eat snails. There are terrorist cowards in Poland. There are Japanese that are terrible at math and have souls. The point is that people are people everywhere, and everyone is different in some way. Sure stereotypes got here because they are true, but there are so many cases in which they are not even close.
