in those days, my biggest fear was chilling to a pint and being blown out of my pub chair.In both Northern and Republic of Ireland. Apply the same rules stated about Glasgow. Celtic and Rangers. Very important!

Hey, I'm a 6'1 blonde haired, blue eyed guy - I ALWAYS get one assumption
Too lazy too, but I do recall reading the whys and whereabouts about gingers (red, orange, bronzed blondes) - it does (no?) come down to Ir/Sc heritage and migration to your vicinity?Blonde hair stereotypes are your Swedish, Russian German Polish or Ukrainian lol.

I should be more aware ( and I was, but for loss of facts not in play and usage).To an extent yes but the traditional irish girl is green eyes and red hair, whereas scottish is funnily enough blue eyes ginger hair. supposedly.
But because different people got with different shade/eye colour etc other types of red were made auburn,strawberry blonde, Black hair with ginger beard even blonde with ginger tints and ginger beard. it's quite fascinating!
I belong to several - formal and informal - debate groups (this was a topic of conversation, and I thought it could be fun to share bearing in mind it's MEANT to be fun).
I was curious. This is an international forum, and let's keep it civil and not personal, and accept that generalities do not mean absolutes.
What are some stereotypical qualities attributed to your peers/culture/nationaility.
Many stereotypes are steeped in truths, some are gross over generalizations. Some are flat out misconceptions.
I'l lbegin with a gross over generalization rooted in truths, locally and internationally preceived -
Canadians are overly apologetic with an innate need to add sorries, excuse mes, thank yous, and a multitude of prefaces and postfaces. We're people who apologize when you step on our toes.
Kindly, speak on your national/work/peer stereotypes rather than others' - its easier to banter on one's own and dispute it. Let's not delve into cultutal attacks.
That being said, nothing wrong with harmless blanket assumptions and perceptions ex it always rains in England
(see, hasnt started and im already being pc and apologetic )
How do people around the world perceive us Scots to be.
Something along the lines of Skirt wearing , Whisky drinking race who run around all day screeching from Bagpipes whilst trying to catch Haggis
What's further down? The sheep country? Twas there.
