sometimes stereotypes can be very acurate actually, and noone mentioned a stereotype so far? i've never heard the stereotype of stupid american tourists... i've just spoken from experience, and so has everyone else so far. noone has said "i've heard that americans.............................."

"In our native country as a whole Americans are jerks."

"Americans are just rude, they don't respect people in general."

"American 2n best tourists...? Pfftt no way in hell! They're noisy and wear shorts when it's freezing cold."

"Americans are second best? That's not possible... I think they're rude and don't respect other cultures."

You are right NOODLE, these comments I thought were STEREOTYPES about Americans weren't sterteotypes. They were just INSULTS.

Let me rephrase. I thought we were done with these threads were we just INSULT everone from a single country.

i think that chinese people are very inconsiderate. they talk loud, are tight when it comes to money, and basically care about themselves.. yes this is a sterotype, but it appears true for the most part. yes, and i can say this because i am part chinese.

...this is just my perspective on the situation...

I agree. The comments don't serve any purpose, they are just insults.

I have a question, Illusional, how is it that in every other culture in the world (that I am aware of) people stand in line to wait for things, except for in China? Can someone explain how they function if no one waits in line for things? Is that really true?
