Then blow it up to show that limey bastard what's what.

Hilarious. :p

Haha- I laughed out loud there.

What about America? I imagine it would be Canada or Mexico but I could be wrong. And what about Canada? Do you have any personal ones? I for instance, regularly mention my distaste for the Dutch. Cheebs and Disease, any Aussie ones? V and Roshiq, what about you guys?

I'd be interested to hear from you all on the matter. Got any jokes or slang names for them?

LOL..Australians and New Zealanders are probably the worst of all countries.
We just do not get along..
in big sports tournaments , you will always get the nationwide coverages and sold out events..especially when we come up against each other.
Funnily enough though..NZlanders will take offence if anybody from another country puts Australians down and will defend them to the max.
We feel its our right and no one elses..

For example:
Asians are of course short, bad drivers and video game nerds.

Unless you're talking about Indians, who are all cab drivers.

Most Latinos are baby factories and live with at least 20 relatives in one house.

Americans are fat, lazy and looking for any excuse to get on welfare.

The French are, to quote the Simpsons, cheese eating surrender monkeys.

Canadians drink too much clamato and are ruled by a beaver who drinks syrup our of a hat. They also all wear mounty uniforms.

Scottsmen and the Irish are all drunks with bad cuisine.

The English are all soccer hooligans with bad teeth.

We all suck here, apparently:p

This is pretty much all true, hahaha.
Stereotypes are based on at least some shred of truth.

The one stereotype that I noticed is that Canadians seems to "genuinely" (notice the quotes...obviously I am speaking in stereotypes, so don't take it personally) kind of despise Americans. It seems like whenever you talk to an American about a Canadian, they'll make a joke about being our 51st state or something about poutine, but mostly pretty harmless. But if you talk to a Canadian, they go on a tirade about how "You know that Americans think our police force is all mounties?" or something similar, but without that "joking tone". It's like a serious, angry tone. I've seen it on more than 10 occasions from various Canadians visiting the US or visiting Canada myself.

It's kind of scary, really....do Canadians really hate us that much? Hahaha, I can tell ya, I don't think Americans hate Canadians at all.

Other than that, I see a lot more "racism" between states than actual national origin racism.
