Why is this allowed? I never got this meme.

I dunno reddit, do you know what a stereotype is?
>>
This. 99.9% of England is subhuman trash, and I'm not even talking about the immigrants.
>>
>Scots are portrayed as haggard, angry old men
>French are portrayed as pompous aristocrats
>Germans are potrayed as humorless, arrogant salarymen

What's with this? Does anyone know why they do this?

The posh accent you're thinking of has the same association in British media - Received Pronunciation has been quite a thing for the last 200 years

The weird thing is that this accent associated with the old way of speaking, which couldn't be further from the truth. This is what Shakespeare would have sounded like

It's a crime really.

That last one is actually true though. I swear I've never seen a Russian man who didn't look like a gruff criminal.

The American one isn't so wrong either.

To be fair, German are indeed humorless. And their idea of fun is Forklift Simulator 2016.

>>68179653
I have to admit. The German students I have met are the most boring ever. The girls are nice though, if a bit too stuck up and political correct.
