Denmark is the 3rd tallest nation in the world

Who's the 2nd tallest?

Lmao None of us are actually tall and blonde

I’m Norwegian. And tall. And blonde.

It’s mainly due to a few things on stereotypes have some bases in truth for instance I’m part Irish and as anyone knows the Irish are know for eating Potatoes and drinking a lot and while it’s a stereotype its sort of true due to English oppression for centuries Ireland and by extension the Irish were forced to farm for England and barely got by with what they could afford when potatoes were brought to Europe they found out Ireland was perfect for them and it became a cheap way for the Irish to eat food then the Potato Blight happened, while the drinking part is just something that all three Gaelic cultures get grouped into. Second it’s more based in lies or derogatory things for instance a common insult that anyone could say to a Welshmen is that they shag sheep it was insult started by the English (oh what a surprise.) and as the years went on it became a stereotype just by misconception. Then there’s the third one which is old traditions for instance they idea that the Scottish all wear kilts will it was true for most people Hundreds of years ago now a days it’s more of a sign of respect to their ancestral culture and are only worn for special occasions. Heck even the army is thought to still wear kilts into battle which was technically true, but they haven’t done that in over a century as I guess it wasn’t a good idea to wear a kilt in the trenches of the Great War with gas around.

It's surprising when you cross over into wealthy areas vs low-income areas seeing the massive difference in weight. Lots of "white people" in affluent areas that are very fit, along with minorities.

I like the stereotype of being rich as a Norwegian considering we are only rich outside of our border because of our silly high prices. As for the tall blonde thing, I am red not blonde. I am tall though and pretty wide. See, we also become fat...

@@GnosticAtheist that's cool, redheads are even rarer than blondes. Do you have green eyes?

@@vitalii-dan I do believe they are dark bluish. Red is pretty common here, its basically so many of us that we are immune to the classic bullying of redheads in foreign movies as we would band together as a race and eliminate the filthy impure non-redheads, or lighties as we call them behind their backs.

@@GnosticAtheist cool!

No, it's a stereotype. Don't be ignorant.

It's not really wrong

As an American, I say it depends. We most certainly love food, almost everybody eats snacks on the regular and we usually eat WAY more than doctors recommend, but we Americans usually have either very high or low metabolism. There's no in the middle, we're either very skinny or very fat, no matter what we eat.

but it's true tho...we don't say that! We say "Si noma" or "Hamna shida" or "Sawa"

its very formal, if you translate it literally it means "there isnt any troubles", most people will just say they are good or "poa" (slang), the greeting for this is "habari gani" which literally translates to something like " tell me your news" (also formal), usually people will say "sema" (talk)

It's not a stereotype, we do eat lot of curry and love it. Don't be ashamed of it

@@harshjha6715 I am not ashamed you have half knowledge. We in India don't eat anything called curry. Curry was indeed a name given by british given to a broth like dish called Kaikari. And when I say curry yes it is a big stereotype as all the dishes have separate names and origins. A lot of foods which either cooked with vegetables or meat be either dry, have gravy or be soupy but none of them is exactly curry accompanied with flat breads or rice. It is a stereotype because all of them are completely separate dishes with totally different identities which should not be generalised as curry because let's be real there no such Indian food called curry. I guess you are confusing India with Japan or living in alternate reality if you think Indians eat curry.

@@ienchantra444 yes. And now it's so late that we can't really change it. "Fine, just call it curry". 😂 Another thing is when they say Chai Tea Latte as a drink.

you don't need perfume to get the stink away, u need deodorant. perfumes are for everyone who wants to smell good, doesn't mean that you stink without using it.

Yeah but it's really funny😂 I never realized that they stink was a serotype for them.I thought he would say HOHOHOHOHO and baguette 😂😂😂😂😂

Perfume meant to hide the stink when it was first created, it’s a historical fact, but modern french people has nothing to do with that old fact anymore.

There are tons of types and flavors, not like in other countries, so there's a kind for everyone. I can assure you that we eat these foods almost everyday. Probably, they were referring to certain flavors (example: whole wheat pasta is not liked by everyone) or maybe they are born in Italy but have foreign origins, so they are not used to it. Italy = pizza/pasta is not just a stereotype, it's a real thing and we're also proud of it, believe me :) If not, they wouldn't be national excellences. Regards!
