Cor Blimey!!

So I didn't know what to blog about. Then I hit some seriously foondamental inspiration! I'm going to analyze British stereotypes to see if they're true. Now as we all know most stereotypes are dead wrong, so I reckoned it would be interesting to see how British stereotypes hold up.

1. REALLY bad teeth...

Yup. Looks like that's true. I mean look at those fangs! According to the notoriously reliable tabloid The Sun, many British families cannot get access to a dentist even if they could afford it. http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/1592127/Thousands-of-Brits-have-rotten-teeth-because-they-cant-find-a-dentist-due-to-NHS-dentist-crisis-figures-reveal.html
Looks like the media was "spot on" when it comes to British teeth

2. Ugly Women

Okay this one may be controversial but if you look to the right, it seems like its a no-brainer. Actually, I would say this stereotype is dead wrong. There plenty of nice looking British actresses, such as keira knightley, and if you were to walk down Kings Road London, you would find many pleasing specimens of the female form. Stereotype Busted!

3. Brits can't dance?

So if you've ever seen me on the dance floor, and I hope you haven't, then you know this stereotype is true. Ok so you aren't convinced? Take a look at this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE6P-lwS0lQ

That looks like 2 out of 3 are correct. Does this mean that stereotypes may have at least a shred of basis in fact? Yes, for a minority of people. The problem arises when these observations about a minority of people are applied to the whole nationality, racial or ethnic group. Of course, most British people have tolerable teeth and most people across the pond can bust a pleasing move on the club floor. While it might be hilarious to point out the above stereotypes, they aren't based in statistical fact. That's the foondamental problem with stereotyping. After that, it's just offensive! Not to me, but others I suppose will get slightly fumed.
