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.
One redditor, heisnberg97, posted on r/AskReddit "Without telling the name of your country, where do you live?" The post blew up, garnering nearly 49,000 upvotes and over 60,000 comments, detailing niche as well as broad hints at where people live. Vague ones such as "Cheese" were typically answered with: "Do you know how little that narrows it down?" BoredPanda selected some of the best responses, so we invite you to play along in the comments.

People normally say we speak Spanish.
We don't.

It could be Portugal but not most of Spain because most of it speaks Spanish except Catalonia - there they mostly speak Catalan.

The picture doesn’t suggest it but I’m thinking of the Philippines, with all their Spanish sounding names.

It could be. It's an ancient colony of Spain, but they speak Philippine.

Why would people think people in Portugal speak Spanish? That makes no sense. They speak Portuguese. Maybe guess Brasil until you find out that, no, they speak Portuguese there.

Maybe Brazil as it's in South Americ0a and some moron could think that all center and south america speak spanish.
