Sorry if there is already a thread for this.

I don't like America very much, but it is my homeland and I get very offended when someone says that Americans are lazy and stupid. Not all Americans are like that. I am not lazy and I'm actually very smart. I study in and out of school. What's up with all these stereotypes against Americans?? I hear it all the time and most of it isn't completely true! Please inform. Arigato.

A person who stereotypes someone based on the country they come from, which has thousands and thousands of people, would probably be stupid, or at least misguided themselves. I wouldn't worry what people say about where you are from.

Well thanks for actually answering my question, but I want this thread to keep going. I'm curious.

I understand that you are curious and thats cool. Just be prepared for a lot of anti American sentiment it happens when you create this kind of thread. If you can manage to keep everyone on topic and it doesn't result in war then you might get some real answers. If not be prepared for it to be closed.

Oh i forgot to mention as much i hate to say it, Americans are very spoiled i have learned this after traveling so much.

That makes sense, but so many countries hate America and trying to live my life in one of those countries with an American background will be highly difficult for me.

I'm ready. *whimper* And I agree! Why should America get all these nice things when every other country out there works a minimum of 10 times harder than we do?

OK. That makes sense, but I don't think people should hate us for things like that. I can't change it. Why should I be stereotyped because of the country I was born in?
