Racial stereotypes

[TicToc]

Here are a handful of current stereotypes that I've run into and or have subscribed to both accurately and inaccurately. I would like to note that though stereotypes are very very rarely 100% accurate I believe they exist for a reason. Enough people from one demographic showed a trait, attitude, ect ect enough times that the presumption that others from the same demographic will act in a similar fashion is a reasonably safe assumption, or at the very least a reasonable thing to bear in mind when interacting with someone of that demographic. This is not always a great idea or an accurate way to view people and can have negative side effects. However there are admittedly pros to bearing them in mind.

(as seem from an American perspective)

Russian - poorly trained, harshly led, poorly equipped, poorly educated, well indoctrinated, mostly conscripts

English - one of our three closest friends and chief most of them, extremely professional, arrogant, trusted, difficult to work with at times due to being obstinate

Australians - Tough, proficient, drunks, one of the top three allies

Canadian - The last remaining of the top three friends, poor military due to lack of size and money

French - This one is hard to describe in a list, so I will suffice to say that militarily the French are the butt of the VAST majority of jokes and jabs that involve poor military prowess

Chinese - LOTS OF THEM!!!! HOLY SHIT LOTS OF THEM!!!!!! its like an ant hill of little red commie ants, other than that we think of them as quantity before quality in every way

With a few exceptions (Germany, The Netherland, Norway, and I'm sure a couple others that I cant think of right now) most European countries are viewed as having poor militaries, with governments weak in conviction

Anything in South America is viewed pretty much the same - corrupt, poorly trained, poorly led, poorly equipped, poor education, just poor in general, not worth consideration unless someone tried to seriously rock our boat
