American Stereotypes

So after talking about politically-correctness and derogatory words with the teacher I tutor, I asked him to tell me the stereotypes Japanese have about Americans. Here they are:
1. We eat lots of beef.
2. We drink lots of soda. (or "pop" for most of my family)
3. We talk loudly.
4. We are independent.
5. Women are aggressive. (rawr)

I was kind of hoping for something a little more scandalous, but I think he was being polite.

2 comments:

  1. sounds pretty dead on to me. (said in an aggressive tone)
