Have you ever asked how about the world judges you just because you’re
born in some place?

Stereotypes having to do with people of specific nationalities. Some of them

are a little bit Truth in Television (certain others more so), due to having some
basis in reality. But remember, nations are not Planets Of Hats. If anything,
