I dont think stereotypes are positive.  The first reply in this thread is an example of why I feel that way.

Sadly being English there are no positive stereotypes about us. Apart from possibly being able to speak correctly. Although if you're from North of Watford or West of Reading then it isn't true.
Where's Watford, North of Blackburn?
lol

No, it's a few miles North of London.

If you knew anything about fashion Lotta you would know that black goes with everything and supposedly never goes out of fashion.

You're the first person to respond to the more serious aspect of the OP - Are any kind of stereotypes tolerable?

I have to say that a lot of Irish people quite like the fighting and drinking stereotype and play up to it a bit (well the drinking one anyway), then the minute someone plays the 'drunken Irish' card they are up in arms - a bit ironic. I don't have much time for negative stereotypes so why should I have any time for positive ones? It's a strange one, I don't really put too much credence in positive stereotypes in reality though. Each person is different.

However there are certain things that seem almost undeniable e.g...

Kenyans make the best long-distance runners
Jamaicans make excellent sprinters
Cubans make incredible boxers
Brazilians make the most skillful footballers

...and so on.

Well apparentely:

I'm rich - My dad is, but certainly not me, and he gives me little to no help whatsoever. I have to pay for almost all of my college tuition myself.
I'm great with math - HAH, yeah right...I'm more of an English/SS person.
I wear a Yarmulke every day (don't know whether it's good or bad...) - ....yeah, right. That'll never happen.
Make great doctors and lawyers - ...yeah, that might be true.
Politically active - Sure. I am.
Love to argue - Yeah, got me on this one...
No Jew is an alcoholic - Total bullshit. Take one look at my brother (okay, he's not a TRUE alcoholic, but whatever) and what he does at parties and you'll be quite surprised.

I wouldn't exactly call them "positive stereotypes" when they don't all apply to me.

Albanians. Not all are the same but some mobsters are real fucktards. Some are hardworking and those are to be respected but a lot of them want to earn quick money, usually with crime.
You should collect their tears though, to protect you from Jews (Especially Poseidon, he's the worst of them all <3)
Yeah, I pillage and plunder and steal your gold.

I think it's just because of all the great Jewish comedians and comedy actors.

Could be. Jerry Seinfeld, Ben Stiller, The Three Stooges, Larry David, Adam Sandler...etc.

Odd though, I'd never heard that one before.

I think some traits are genetic and some are bread for culture. When you referred to Brazilians being good at football, it's because it's engrained in their culture. Like being a dickhead at Football matches is engrained in mine...

Where as Kenyans being good at long distance, that's genetic. More slow twitch muscle fibres, etc.

Aren't the Kenyan tribes the ones that run and chase animals for food all day long, non-stop?

I guess it's people's instincts to get offended by the bad and be complemented by the good.

Positive and negative stereotypes exemplify this.

Some do, but that in itself is a stereotype. It's a country of more than hunter gatherers.

I hate the word Dutch, I never know if people mean the Germans or the people from Holland.


Oh and it's a movie reference from Austin Powers.
