I live in a romanian city with a pretty large gypsy population and even here theyre treated like poo poo. A lot of time i see gypsy children being forced to beg by their parents and nobody gives a poo poo. Everybody including the police just ignores them, altough the police beats them up sometimes just because they can. Ever since they were freed from slavery every single regime in romania didnt do anything to help them so all we do is complain about them and then continue being poor.

southern italians call northern italians "polentoni" because they eat polenta (grits)
northern italians return the favor by calling southern italians "terroni" because they eat terra (dirt), i.e. they're stupid poor hicks

a generation ago, terrone was a serious slur. southern italians had moved en masse to the north, to get away from agriculture and get more profitable industrial/office jobs. to northeners they were pretty much a distinct race, a race of ignorant bestial people who couldn't speak right and cooked smelly food and shat out kids who played naked in dirt and mud and would grow up to be lechers and thieves. landlords would put up signs literally saying "we don't rent to dirt-eaters"

Well let's also not forget that Gypsies still use slaves as well and actually have slave quarters in their camps. Most of the slaves are children too.

people from bergamo have derogatory names for people from all nearby cities. people from brescia are ciunì (swine), people from milan are cicianebbia (fog-suckers), people from lecco are bagiani (idiots). nobody calls people from bergamo anything. for what it's worth, they are stereotyped as humorless bull-headed magutti (brick-layers), a stereotype they wear with pride

In Liberia they have a bunch of jokes about dumb Irishmen, which I guess just be some weird carryover from mid-1800s America when they "repatriated" Southern slaves back to West Africa.

Like there's one story about the two Irishmen who pass by a pawpaw (papaya) tree and want to throw stones to knock one down and eat it. But they want to make sure they knock down the best one, so they borrow a ladder, climb up and paint an X on the best one, then climbed back down to throw stones at it to knock it out of the tree. So in Liberia when someone makes pointless inefficient work for themselves, it's called "acting the Irishman".

thanks this is an amusing racism

anyone from northern africa is called a moroccan and stereotyped as selling lighters and tissues at stoplights
rabbino (rabbi) is still used to mean thief, but I think it's fallen from use somewhat
romanians are stereotyped interchangeably with roma as living in trailer parks, thieves, dirty, violent, always armed
trans women are stereotyped as brazilian, due to the huge number of brazilian travesti prostitutes (italy and spain are like the european fatherland and motherland of trans prostitution and catholics). the word trans, masculine, is pretty much synonymous with "travesti prostitute from brazil"

nothing weird really. sad, but nothing surprising. moroccans and romanians are two of the largest immigrant groups, the roma thing we share with the rest of europe (except the trailer parks thing, which seems to be a uniquely italian way to ghettoize them), we used to hate albanians too (third largest immigrant group) but I think in anecdata they're conflated with romanians now

I understand that native Hawaiians really hate Micronesians. The Federated States of Micronesia are dirt poor and are still suffering the effects of the U.S. nuclear tests, so Micronesians tend to go on welfare when they move to the U.S.-owned Pacific islands (which they can do without a visa, thanks to the Compact of Free Association). A lot of people see them as a drain on society, much like with the Roma in Europe or African-Americans in the U.S. There's some anti-white sentiment, too ("haole" is the Hawaiian equivalent of "cracker" or "honky"), but the Micronesians easily get the worst of it.

Nope that is true of the UK as well, where this is also both resented due to them I dunno taking up trailer space or something??? and leads to fears that They're Going To Take All Our Council Houses when their trailer park settlements are periodically cleared by local authorities who get sent poisonous letters about Those Bastard Gypsies Down The Road.

For my money nothing beats the following:


1) Asking anyone from any Balkan nation about any other Balkan nation. Bonus points if you mention Romany or Turks.

2) Greeks vs. Turks - It's a fact, 60% of all YouTube comments consists of Greeks and Turks talking poo poo about each others' lack of military prowess, casting aspersions about the other nation's sexuality and questioning their right to exist. This is made more absurd when you consider that in many ways, they're the same drat people.

3) India vs. Pakistan - This accounts for the other 40%.

4) Hungary and Romania have a history of wacky hijinks with each other.

You're not wrong. You can probably lump Uruguayans into this too, they have a similar dialect to Porteños (along with basic cultural similarity) as well which aids in this. My girlfriend's half-Uruguayan and every time we go to Mexico when she speaks locals give us this look... It's actually easier to come across as dumb-if-polite Americans for the most part.

Europeans really hate gypsies because pick-pocketing is important to their culture or something. But I don't think they actually call them gypsies, and they act all indignant when you do despite wanting them all sent back to Romania.

- I met a girl from like the Central African Republic (I think, it was a long time ago), and she was telling me about how great Africa is, how it's full of hope, how it actually has a future because it's one of the most tolerant and friendly continent on earth and so on. Then 2 minutes later she tells me never to trust one of those piece of poo poo Nigerians, they are all lazy thieves and generally terrible people.

- Bretons are indeed stereotyped as drunken worthless hicks, but it's not really a baseless stereotype. They also constantly whine about wanting to be an independent nation which I fully support because that means I will have to pay less taxes to feed those morons. They routinely damage roadsigns because "abloobloobloo they are not bilingual breton/french signs" which is entirely bullshit because every loving breton speaks french and there's less than 200 000 people speaking that dumb language anyway. Also they put their retarded "a l'aise breizh" bumper stickers everywhere.

- Corsicans are also trash, for mostly the same reasons, but instead of being drunken, worthless hicks, they are drunken, worthless hicks who are all in the loving mafia and will loving bomb your house if you don't pay protection money. Likewise they constantly whine for independence, which I also fully support just so we can napalm bomb their retarded island right after. They absolutely HATE arabs though.

- That might be an extremely local stereotype, but take pretty much any negative stereotype about the american south (inbreeding, retardation, racism, poverty...) and it can be applied to the Ardennes. People from the Ardennes see people from my region as a bunch of stuck up, haughty idiots so I guess we got a lovely relationship there :v:

- Portuguese people are always working construction jobs, and are very hairy.

- Most of our stereotypes about Germans, Brits, Americans, Italians and so on are pretty much the same as those found in the anglosphere except I guess we tend to see the brits as a bunch of traitorous, back-stabbing cowards.

- You will never see a frenchman bother to learn the differences between the various Asian countries. We lost our colonies there, what's the point learning about them?

- We see the Belgians as idiots. Like, take any Pollack joke, switch the nationalities, and there you've got a good joke to tell your French friends, if you have any.

- Southern French are lazy, brash and extremely friendly, northern french are drab, depressed people looking for the sweet, sweet release of death (since I'm a goon, guess where I'm from).

Lastly, to give you an idea of how the average frenchman sees arabs, I will just tell a little joke:
"An American, an Arab and a Frenchman are in a hot air ballon. Suddenly poo poo goes wrong and it's starts to lose altitude fast so they have to lose weight otherwise they will crash. The American goes first, drops all his guns overboard and says "who cares, there's plenty more where I come from". The arab follows, tosses all his petrol overboard and says "who cares,there's plenty more where I come from". The frenchman goes last, tosses the arab overboard and says "who cares, there's plenty more where I come from"

I don't want to sound like I'm going out of my way to white-knight the French here but I will forever be a bit amazed at how vehemently the stereotypical American disdains the French while the Italians somehow get a free pass.

The negative French stereotype in the US goes something like this:
Lazy, snobbish, rude, chain-smoking, cowardly, militarily incompetent tools. We don't give them credit for expert-level racism, but hey, that's something we're working on here too.

Meanwhile, let's take a look at Italy:

Guilty of all the above with arguably even more military incompetence (they couldn't even manage to nominally oppose the Third Reich goddammit!) with an added bonus of so much political corruption and economic chaos that they make the French look like the goddamn Norwegians by comparison. They managed to let Italian Donald Trump run the state into the loving ground and we still make jokes about the Frenchies instead. While we're at it, Italy is not outdone on the racism front either.

I dunno, maybe Italy has better food overall?
