And we should dance dance dance to these stereotypes.
People are prone to organize all facts that they have. That's why stereotypes appears. This is normal, even funny. But not always.
There are a lot of stereotypes about Russia and Russians. Bears, who freely walk the streets in caps with ear-flaps...Oh, I forgot, they perfectly play the balalaika. But the most famous stereotype is drinking vodka. There is a myth that Russian people drink vodka for breakfast, dinner and supper.

But many people do it. Vodka is the ethyl alcohol diluted with water.

You know, it's odd. I didn't even know what a balalaika was until I lived in Russia. And I remember the first day I lived with my host family, we actually drank brandy for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. :) Ahh well. Stereotypes exist for a reason, although often they are incorrect. I think everybody knows the American stereotypes (we're fat, can't read maps, prone to invading other countries) - but these are only true 90% of the time! :) :)

I think you are right :) Not all stereotypes are funny. I think a common stereotype about Belgium is that the people think we are stupid farmers --' What totally is not true, if you look back in history there are many smart people who discovered something and they were from Belgium. We may be a little country but we do have something to say in the world. Like the head-minister of Europe is a Belgian and Brussels is the Capital of Europe. :D
