    I wasn’t raised the ‘American way,’ so I think and act like a person who doesn’t come from here. Being completely neutral, I’ll tell you the truth about the stereotypes: Most of the people I know are absolutely ignorant about everything outside a circle of about 10 miles/16 km from their house (yes, THAT ignorant). Some people can’t spell or read the simplest words. They get absolutely confused with the metric system and things like that. A false stereotype is that everyone from here is a fat slob who only eats and sits down to watch TV. It really makes me very sad that most of the stereotypes are true most of the time. It makes me ashamed sometimes.
