Well, here's pretty much what Finns have for stereotypes:

Swedes - in all Finnish jokes, Swedish men are gay and stupid, but in military matters, the Swedes are considered too democratic (if you try to make decissions in a multinational force with Swedes involved, they want to put everything to vote regardless of what the ranking officer says)

Russians - boozed up, corrupt slackers, who cut the lines. Also, some of the noveau rich own fancy cars and come to Finland for shopping. The 'ancient enemy'. Most Finns know three phrases in russian: "Stoj!", "Ruki vehr!", "Idi tsuda!"

Americans - ignorant, bullyish, loud. Stick their noses in to the matters of other nations, feeling all high and mighty. 'Bringing democracy' to other nations, but can not even run elections in a democratic manner (referring to the Bush vs. Gore elections).

Danes - Swedes with speach impediment.

Irish - Our brothers from abroad. Love to drink, sing and fight when drunk, just like us.

Finns - quiet and brooding. Always bickering about something. In a fight with the Russians, one Finn is equal to ten Russians (the only question is what happens, if the eleventh Russian arrives the scene?).
