This is an interesting image with mismatched stereotypes of European cultures. Although it is meant to be humourous, it also makes us think about the stereotypes we have of ourselves and other cultures. Let me know what you think!
As we can see there's no perfect European. But we can't just think and see people for their negative features (and doing that would be perfect). We all have our stereotypes, negative our positive. Stereotypes are no more than inaccurate opinions of people based on the "unknowledge" of (in this case) what they think Europeans are. I believe we should see ourselfs as equals... we all have a little of the Spaniard lack of humbleness, the Greek disorganisation and the Irish "soberness"=) This is what being European should mean...to be a little everything.
