Once I was hanging out with some croatian friends, one of them asked me, "what is the stereotype of croatian people held by you (Chinese) people?" I couldn't answer, and it felt as if she was offended by my ignorance of her country. Well first of all I am not so knowledgeable about global geography, there's really not much I could tell about Croatia beside it's approximate location. Second, it's not that every nation has made a name for themselves for their stereotype. There are a few nations carrying the fame(or notoriety) for whatever their people are been collectively believed to be like, the U.S, Germany, China, Japan, Russian, the UK, France, Spain etc are obviously some of the biggest target of stereotype-making due to their enormous influence, interest and impact cast on global community both historically and contemporarily on our planet. That doesn't mean a country without much well-known stereotype doesn't make a good country, right? But anyways why would you want a stereotype?
