Spaniard movie stereotype is a mix between mexican and gypsy third world country. They think that Spain is Central America. There was an "A Team" episode where spanish soldiers were gypsy-morish-mexicans , and Madrid Airport was unpavimented. There is a film , "Vantage point" that is suposed that happened in Salamanca but was made in Mexico with mexican extras.


In the film "Thunder in the sun" , a group of basque inmigrants in Western EEUU were represented as flamenco dancers , and phenotipically darker than real basques.

But the worst that I have seen is this Mc Gyver episode. ETA terrorist are represent as undeveloped rural mexicans with "txapela-beret, that dont know the diference between a geologist and a physician. Their weapons are from XVIth century . We should kidnap Richard Dean Anderson ( Mc Gyver) , and torture him as revenge.

Gays are being portrayed as the good guys.
correction: gays with same aged partners and lots of female friends are presented as the good guys, those homosexual men, who like under 16 y/o are on the other hand supposed to be the bad guys.

other stereotypes:

  • One US-American guy can defeat hundreds of soldiers/terrorists all alone, because he's so super clever, while his enemies are just a dumb mass.
  • Female scientists from America look like supermodels.
  • Every Russian men is either in the Army or the mafia.
  • Brits and Irishmen hardly leave their favourite pub.
  • Because of guilty feelings for racism in the past, black actors now often get the most heroic roles (or they are just god like Morgan Freeman).
  • Germans are angry sadists and it seems they hardly existed before the 20th century.
  • Every German is either Bavarian or Prussian.
  • Catholic priests are either super-good and unselfishly help the hero or they are super-mean.
  • Attila and his Hunnic warriors look like unwashed West-Europeans.
  • Romans looked and behaved like upper class Brits.
  • Horners and West Africans practically look the same.
  • People from India are either extremely poor or living in a palace.
  • The good Arab is a young guy, who brakes with his family, where everybody else supports terrorism.
  • Serbs love to kill Americans.
  • Italians live in an underdeveloped country.
  • The French are all romantic.

I'll add to this:


-All international terrorist are some unknown generic Muslim (usually Arab), Eastern European, or German.

-if the black person is not a lead, then he is a sidekick of a white guy, teaches him commonsense, appears out of know where to save his life/or instruct him as to what he should do, never ever touches a woman, will die for the white character he has just met that day, is usually some blue collar worker but seems to know everything about the world(we call this the magic negro).

-Eastern European women are all spies or sex slaves

-All Brits are upper-class and proper speaking and arrogant, even if they are garbage men.

-Classical movies (Rome and Greece) must speak British English.

Lol about that magical negro stuff,it reminds me of how peasants are portrayed in old romanian movies(in communist times):they know everything there is to know about everything,even if they have problems expressing themselves they are some sort of intellectuals,the magic peasant I guess.

Males with blond hair in American college movies = Spoiled and bullying mama's boys who have the schools most attractive girl against her will (but lose her in the end of the movie, as the poor, dark-haired gentleman wins her heart).

Also, blond men are always German villains in WWII movies.

That's because nerdy Jews write and direct the movies. That was their reality.

It is "revenge of the nerds".

Historically the dark haired Italian looking guy was the bad guy.

Even today, usually a guy playing a vampire, a demon, the Devil almost always look Med.

However, often the "fascist", Euro-Terrorist, sadist...they are blond. Wonder why?

Rambo 2 and Rambo 3 and Rocky 4 are the best examples of evil blondes(russians this time) vs innocent bystanders(who all look dark). Of course in Rocky 3 the "Evil one" was Mister T,he killed a skinny old white man and the 'italian stalion' kicks his ass for revenge.

anybody ever watch the movie "Black Hawk Down", about the American intervention in Somalia/Battle of Mogadishu? They didn't have a single actual horner looking individual in that movie, every actor portraying a Somali was west African/Afram looking

Yeah, seriously. There's a difference between "normal" gays and pedophiles. What a silly post.

American cops eat donuts all the time.
That's a true one. I've never seen a cop outside of Saladworks or Muscle Maker Grill, but every time I pass by Dunkin Donuts or 7-Eleven, there's a cop car or two in the vicinity.

I miss some movie stereotypes, though. Growing up, the black guy was always the first to die. That was a funny one.

I remember Skadi's grunts denouncing "hollywood nazis" even though they fit completely to the very same model

In American movies the villain gets killed in the end, in European movies he gets brought into prison.

MOST American movies.

In superhero movies, the villain usually goes to jail. There was a big uproar about Two Face dying at the end of The Dark Knight, and people wanting him to come back for the third movie.

Not necessarily. Even the Greek gods usually had a love interest of that kind. Just like at least two of the few Roman emperors that are usually regarded as good ones (Traian and Hadrian).

That was then, before Judaeo-Christian culture got intertwined with European culture.

Pederasty was commonplace then, but a man who has a sexual relationship with a boy is now quite taboo. Hence why most movies about ancient Greece don't even cover it. Even Alexander (which was ridiculed) only had a consensual same-sex relationship between Alexander and a peer of his.
