I'm from New England. We're not the most social bunch of people around here, we're really keep-to-ourselves types, and here is Massachusetts we drive like psychos and like to drink too much. But we're hard working people and generally try to be nice and helpful once we are spoken to.

Other than that, I dunno.. generalizations don't mean much. My "heritage" is Irish and Italian.

that sums me up pretty well...

Good: our history, we can cook, kiss and we have a cool accent.
Bad: our polical system, reputation to be rude.

Good: We're smarter than everyone else.
Bad: We know it.

Good: You guys are smarter than most, especially when it comes to anything involving math.
Bad: You guys (often) speak with such strong accents it's impossible for most to understand your smartness.

Now, I'm not trying to be an ass. It just seems like many Indians I encounter seem to keep their super strong accent even after living in the States for ten or twenty years or more, whereas many other foreigners slowly get better at making themselves understood.

American Euro-mutt.

Swedish, Irish, British, German, White Croat.

Americans Good: We are the only nation based upon an idea; that being that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain rights, blah blah....

Bad: Don't [censored] with us, or we'll bomb the [censored] out of your country. Maybe that's actually good. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Yeah, let's all pay homage to the great American thinkers Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, the Abbe Sieyes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau etc.

wtf was the French Revolution anyway?

Swedish.

I guess we're most known for our hot women, safe cars and (which is kind of sad) vodka. I live in the US now, and I find that most people seem fairly happy when they find out I'm actually Swedish. I guess Swedes have a pretty good rep. all around the world, which makes it nice whenever I'm travelling abroad somewhere.

I'm guessing that most of Sweden's good rep in America is due to the fact that most Americans probably can pick out which of the three nortic countries it is. Or name a city there. Or recall anything the Sweedes have done in the past.

Americans are dumb, If I were you id move back, it sounds like an awesome place
