In here, it's actually associated with depression, insanity and terrible weather. And all those are in a way true
Didn't we talk about it a while ago though?
Yup, we did
Anyway, according to my friend, Saint Petersburg is more beautiful than Moscow, SPB is more quiet than Moscow, SPB people are more gentle and responsible than Muscovites, SPB people are more openminded than Muscovites, SPB people are more environmentally friendly than Muscovites, SPB people like to practice sports and stay in shape whereas Muscovites tend to be lazy and fat. European Russians mostly see SPB as the most beautiful city in Russia, whereas Siberians tend to prefer Moscow but, according to my friend, they don't count because visiting Ekaterinburg is enough for leaving them astonished.
I suspect she's quite biased.

It is hard to encapsulate all stereotypes directed toward Americans because each state has its own culture. Let me try a few stereotypes:
Americans are uneducated, ignorant, and seem unintelligent.
False. Every country has stupid people; intellect is distributed on a normal bell curve across most countries. IQs average around 95-105, with the U.S. right in the middle. Perhaps what foreigners see comes from media (Hollywood will pump out whatever trash they think will score ratings-and they make a concerted effort to manipulate culture).
Americans are pushy and demanding.
True. America was built on individualism. It's what drives all America's successes and failures including, but not limited to, immigration, capitalism, and a (sadly) growing sense of entitlement.
Americans expect other countries to speak English.
True-ish. Americans have been spoiled because so many countries do speak English. I would say most don't expect others countries to speak English, as much as they hope they do.
The American South is more polite.
True-ish. The American South operates on old-fashioned manners and social protocol. The American North is much more blunt/rude. In the South rudeness is often hidden in politeness (i.e., if you hear a Southerner say "bless your heart," they may be saying "F--- you.).
Americans are very outgoing.
True, and at times annoyingly so; sometimes I just want to buy groceries without someone talking to me about their son's sporting event. Some states are definitely more reserved.
Americans have loose/poor morals.
False. A very large part of America tends to be conservative. From my observation (morality is somewhat subjective/cultural) there is a disproportionate amount of immorality in Hollywood, and our lower socio-economic class.
I knew all of them besides the last one. I think that this is a stereotype created by strongly anti American countries like Russia. I've never thought Americans had poor moral values, especially because I hear quite often conservative Americans accusing western Europeans of exactly that.
Of course Americans aren't stupid, and I also know that Southerners are more easy going than Northerners, in Italy it's exactly the same. And I mean dramatically so.
The only problem I find with some Americans is their nationalism. I hear people claiming that America is the number one country in the world, that every country is poor besides the USA, that every country is either weak (so in need for American protection) or evil (so America must take it down). There are those who are proud of having never been abroad, and I've even met one Texan dude who was dead sure Americans are genetically stronger than any other population in the world.
I must say I tend to be easily irritated when I hear people exalting their homeland with the "we are the best" attitude, so I'm probably overemphasizing the problem.

South Africa:
Well mostly the stereotypes are continental...
Big Dicks
I haven't seen a more outrageous stereotype than this. The effed part the it runs within the continent as well where they believe the blacker you the bigger the ****. That's nonsense.
Yummy, I love this, Heading for South Africa asap :Sparks:
Yeah there is a South African accent but it's not different from the tri nations accents(New Zealand, South Africa and Australia) but that is becoming rare since we are flooded with European migrants who brought about a neutral accent but Captain America Civil War and Age of Ultron still have the best accents to make an example of: King Ta'challa more neutral accent and Vabranium guy is old school SA accent.
You must be kidding dude, Australian accent sounds like 75% British and 25% American. Your accent is absolutely different, you speak like those African immigrants who come here from Senegal, Ethiopia, Ghana etc..
