Pretty much how come Hitler hated foreigners.

amirite?


I'm totally not right. Some Asian cartoon with them speaking pretend American. Some German who is uptight. And a bunch of overly chatty let's see...Italians, Greeks and Spanish peeps. Some Asian dude getting mad and telling everyone to shut up. And an Austrian thrown in for good measure I guess.And that. That my friend is an exact description of the video. I could not even make it up.

Here are a few maps of stereotypes that we have of each other on this side of the world:

(note, most of these are from something called the Atlas of Prejudice. There's a website: www.atlasofprejudice.com. I can't say how accurate all of them are, but Germany's seems accurate to me.)

Oddly the Germans I've ran into (including the hot blonde tennis exchange student at my hs) were all pretty friendly and fun to be around.

Re: Atrocities and national shame

You'd think France & England would be nicer, but, from what I'm told, it ain't so.

German History is a major study topic at my school, We've done WW1 3 times in three separate years and I'm in the last year of studying the 2nd Reich through to the fall of the Iron curtain. Quite honestly there's more to be proud about in being German than there is in being British, Our history is either boring or slavery & imperialism.

What some Americans don't realize is that we are mixed with different blood. My ancestry comes from Hungarian and Cherokee and other different blood. So even though I was born in America and am an America, I still consider my ancestry.

To be fair, the Germans also had colonies (as did the Dutch, the Belgians, the French, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and many other countries), and almost all countries had businesses that dealt in slaves. Britain's activities might have been very extensive, but they were not alone.

Mixed blood isn't all that rare in Europe, either. Most Germans I know can trace at least one Polish, Czech, French, Belgian, or Dutch person in their ancestry (neighbours). Many people also have British, Russian, Ukrainian, Italian, etc people in their family trees. And now that it's 2015, there are lots of African Germans, Asian Germans, Turkish Germans, etc.

French military are one of the worst scumbag people ever. All you said about them is true, Thal. French people's personalit vary a lot from region to region, but the nicest people are in general are by the atlantic coast, as long as you seem interested by their culture and their food. Sooo no going to McDonalds on your trips to France :P
