TBH Britain is famous for hooliganism and having bad teeth. Not saying I agree with it but that is the stereotype. |
do you know how insulting that is?
|
Hey, we Spanish people are famous for being lazy and many other bad things I'm sure. If you state that stereotype I'm not gonna feel insulted, I know it exists, it doesn't mean it's true. The Frech are famous for being full of themselves. The Americans are famous for rednecks.
These stereotypes are stupid. Don't feel insulted if I just state the stereotype, it doesn't mean I believe it.

Chillax Kowenicki, there is no reason to be insulted.
And yes, the Spanish people are lazy, you have a sleep during the day.
When I say "you", I actually mean "we", my dad lives there and I have plenty of family there too.
As for British stereotypes at the moment, it's annoying accents, bad teeth, drink tea, old ladies, chavs, snooty rich people who have tea parties with the Queen, apparently we have technology from the 1980's and we are all bad guys who want to steal the Decleration of Independance (National treasure, what a stupid fucking movie).

Is it also true that those Espanoles are rude? My friend has a sister in college whos friend had fallen from a bus there and they said these group of Spanish people just told her to hurry up and get up (in Spanish). Not willing to help her in anyway. She had her back full of weight

Yes and no. We don't use 'thank you' and 'please' much, because it's not part of our culture. We don't need it, we don't feel someone is rude for not using them. But a foreigner would feel we're rude.
But I would say that case was isolated. I feel London (not the UK) is as rude in general. For instance, once there was a pregnant woman in a crowded London bus and no-one would offer a seat. When I did, instead of saying thank you, she said 'finally!' and didn't tell me anything else. I felt like an idiot for giving her my seat...
