Okay. So I don't have much time. b/c in 5 minutes I have to go to work. But I'll try to answer as fast as I can. But I'll come back after work and actually take the time and answer. :]

For question one. Yes, I have. I'm chinese and people assume that just b/c I'm asian i HAVE to be a smarty pants. Or a goody two shoes. But I'm not. I'm actually the opposite. I'm not all that smart and I don't get all that good grades. But I do have common sense. And people always make jokes and assume that I know how to use everything just because the chinese make so many things and so much technology. It's not like I'M the one there making it!

-Sorry got kind of mad. lol.
sorry that rant took up my time.
But I'll come back after work, like I said, for the rest. :]

-Crap, I think I'm gonna be late :]

1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality) no i havent

2) Are you stereotyped about ppl of other nationalities? About Russians, for instance? no acually i have to russia ppl in my grade they were adopted in the 6th grade...the only thing that bothers me is the fact when others refur to them they always say them russian kids.
3) What do you generally think about "national "stereotypes?? i HATE IT!

I hope that helps u!!! good luck!

Thank you!

Here's my best answer:

1) i have been stereotyped as a dumb blonde, but not by my nationality. 2) i don't stereotype other people based on their nationality. i have so much diversity around me, and i think it is all beautiful! 3) i think it is stupid that people stereotype against people, just because of a difference. it's ridiculous

hope that helps

"1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality)
2) Are you stereotyped about ppl of other nationalities? About Russians, for instance?
3) What do you generally think about "national "stereotypes??"

1) Yes, I am British/White and have had multiple people and groups of other ethnic groups cause trouble with me, not just because of my nationalit but because of my general stereotype as well (Being a goth/mosher)
2)No..I have alot of friends that are of other nationalities...Ukranian, Russian, Swedish, American ETC...
3) I think stereotyping nationalities shouldn't be done because not everyone of the nationality is the same, for example, people stereotype americans as fat and useless but I know many of them that aren't..People stereotype islams as terrorists...

Hope this helps :)

Sure ill try to help..

1. No but ive been stereotyped because of my old religion..i used to be a Jehovahs Witness and people treated me badly and thought i was someone who forced my religion on other people

2. No im not i love all people of all different nationalities....

3. i think they are wrong you shouldnt judge people based on their nationality..people need to learn to be more open minded about things..get to know the person before you deside weither you like them or not you might be suprised to find that they are different from what you were taught to expect!

I hope that helped!

1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality)

Yes, I'm a brit living in the states and I always get told "you have really nice teeth for a British girl" and although it's a compliment, the stereotype still annoys me haha. I also get stereotyped as people assume that I'm going to be a pompous snob. I'm not. I'm a bit of a slob tbh haha.

2) Are you stereotyped about ppl of other nationalities? About Russians, for instance?

I sometimes make jokes about other nationalities but only if I know that it's not going to offend anyone present. For instance, joking about how "all Americans are fat" (I know they're not, this is just a prime example) with my American friends who I know will laugh along with me. Although I don't really believe in the stereotype, I can joke about it.

3) What do you generally think about "national "stereotypes??

I tend to judge people based on their personality rather than their nationality, it leads to a better relationship with the person and lets you get to know them better.

I'm really sorry if this is too late, I only just picked up your pm but I thought I'd do it anyway.

Em xXx

1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality)

I'm not sure of my nationality, I was found in a car on the side of a highway when I was 8 months old. Then adopted. I have been picked on for being adopted... Some people assume I'm Jewish (because I have a big nose) and that offends me. I'm not against Jewish people, but I know I'm not Jewish so it bothers me. I think if I knew my actual nationality and was being picked on for it, I would be very hurt. Which leads me to answer the next question :P

2) Are you stereotyped about ppl of other nationalities? About Russians, for instance?

I think stereotyping is wrong in general. I believe that other nationalities are trying to live their lives just like you or me. They may go about it a different way, but thats what they like... you know? I do however... discriminate against gays. I don't mean to... but for some reason when a gay guy gets near me I just wanna punch him. (Don't worry, I've never punched one) I just walk off and avoid them. No sense in ruining their day, or my own, because I don't like the way they live their life.

3) What do you generally think about "national "stereotypes??

I think everyone has their own unique way of living their life. No matter where you're from. Your nationality really just shows where you were born, nothing more. It does not define who you are, how you react to situations, or any other aspect of your life for that matter.

To people who stereotype others for their nationalities:

Stop doing it... because you could've been born ANYWHERE in the world. No one "picked" where they wanted to be born. So don't act arrogant as if it's their fault.

Hope I've helped a little :)

1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality)

No, not that I can remember.

2) Are you stereotyped about ppl of other nationalities? About Russians, for instance?

Of course, as stated above by another person, Indians are noted to be gas station owners, Italians in the mob, Irish drinking at pubs, etc.

Personally I am friends with many different nationalities.

3) What do you generally think about "national "stereotypes??

It will always be there, don't matter how hard we try to stop it, it's just the way that people are. I don't think it is right, but people do stereotype others and from what I can see it will never stop for a long time.

I've always used this quote, "don't judge a book by it's cover" and it holds true to almost anything in the world as well as sterotyping.

Wow so many wise things you guys wrote
thank you all

1) Have you ever been treated in a stereotyped way? (because of your nationality)

we shouldn't judge people based on their nationalities.
