Ignorance and imperialistic ambitions. That is a case of “If you hate a person, you hate something in him that is part of yourself", really.

Mmm... As for me, it's very hard to encircle some special stereotypes about Americans in Russia... If to take some Russian anecdotes or sketch stories, then usually a typical American personage (if there's any) is depicted as 1) rich (often waiting or looking for some paid services) and/or 2) naive (law-abiding, idealistic, confiding).

I heard on TV, that Americans are stupid. I'm not trying to offend you.

Well depending on which which country's television you're watching, everyone else is stupid lol. Although, perhaps this stereotype is true when it comes to me ;)

Yes, there is one (rather popular) stand-up comedian in Russia who claims Americans to be "stupid" or "ignorant" or "having no sense of humor". But 1) he's just one 2) I don't like his sketches at all. As for Russian folklore, usually Americans are even not represented in the row of Russian national stereotypes.

Jason, I do believe that there is no such a notion as 'Americans' in general. The same about 'Russians' or 'Japanese' or 'all women' or 'all men'. Whoever. People are all different. Americans are all different, Russians are all different. Men. Women. Inspite of all existing stereotypes. If I met you in person I might tell you what I don't like in your behaviour . But I wouldn't dare to judge all Americans taking into consideration only you. The same about me. I would not like someone judging all Russians looking at what I say or do.

*dont_know* We can wish it or not, but in fact there ARE stereotypes in our life - racial, social, religious, and of course national ones. For example, many wonderful jokes based on stereotypes are in the "South Park" - I love Parker & Stone's works BTW! *lol* And it is very useful (IMO) to study more about stereotypes - 'cause learning is the first step to the understanding.

P.S. And sometimes it is REALLY funny :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_emb...

IMHO lack of cultural awareness of the target culture leads to producing stereotypes.
