35 Most Interesting Responses To “Without Telling The Name Of Your Country, Where Do You Live?”
A lot of effort is put into decreasing the pervasiveness of stereotypes, for instance in the workplace. However, sometimes stereotypes bring entertainment: in sitcoms, they are commonly used as comedic devices. Think Kelly Bundy from "Married With Children" representing the dumb and sexually liberated blonde trope. The hurtful nature and the joy of reclaiming a stereotype is illustrated by plenty of sketches with the joke being that character realizes they are not close friends with someone after the person they teased with stereotypes gets offended.

Small minority? No... and until you acknowledge that it is more than a small minority and agree that something needs to be done on it, then the internet needs to continue to s**ting. No country in the world has as big of an ego. And if your response is "well not me!", then get on the bandwagon with shi**ing on the others to knock them down a peg.

True! I don't know if it is Canada, New Zealand or Sweden, but everyone should shame them until they change. It is for their own good.
You forgot the ultra-nationalism, the arrogance, the invading of countries, fomenting revolution to overthrows democratically elected leaders, a crushing disregard of the community in favor of the individual, an education system rigged in favor of the elite and... *drum roll* NO UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE!!!
US or UK? A "minority" still equals millions of people
