Your daily dose of European stereotypes
I just came across this cute little site--the kind that you find when you're procrastinating--that among other things, has a page introducing you to the great people of Europe.Oh, and these are wild generalizations. But methinks it's a harmless read, though whoever wrote it does take on a pretty serious tone about the whole Europeans-hate-each-other-as-much-as-they-hate-Americans thing.
Here's a preview:
- The Scandinavians - Widely respected by most other Europeans
- The Belgians - Considered idiots by both the Dutch and the French. Belgians, in turn, consider the Dutch to be a bunch of cranky assholes, and French stuck-up.
- The Swiss - Considered extremely rigid, even by the Germans.
- The British - About half of the British would be really angry at being called European, so that should provide an apt starting point.
