    What can you even say about St. Kitts and Nevis? Ooooh a couple of islands. Lovely. You're in the Pitcairn Island isolated pedophile club.

    Right:
    - We eat a lot of cheese
    - We have tulips in the summer, everywhere
    - We do have a lot of farmers, although far less than southern US states, and still decreasing.

    Wrong:
    - Dutch people don't go Dutch.
    - We do NOT wear wooden clogs. We do drink beer out of them (well, students do).
    - We are not dressed like people from the 1800's.

    Wait, am I going based off what every country thinks of me or what the rest of the US does? If it's the former then apparently I'm fat, love guns and... watch MTV? If it's the latter then I probably smoke weed, surf, and have a lifted truck.

    I don't have a problem with national stereotypes. They're often true about a significant percentage of the population.

    I don't say I'm from America; I say I'm from California or Los Angeles. America is too big to have many stereotypes that would be accurate for people across the country. The only one I can think of is that we're independent and/or self-centered.

    I mean as individuals, not as a country. Like how in a lot of other countries you're expected to live at home until you're married or even after, but in America you're supposed to move out when you're 18.

    The topic is lost on me but I don't disagree with that stereotype.

    You're still an American though

    I <3 stereotypes. What would be the one for a Alaskan-native who claims California as a home state and lives in the Midwest?
    Boy am I an unfunny ass.
