Crosmando: Every Finnish person I've spoken to on the interwebs was quite anti-Russian and would bring up the Winter War at least once. That said maybe I travel in the wrong circles.

immi101: that's seems to be the same everywhere :)

paladin181: Worst trait: That we ripped land and life away from people who lived here before us while calling the land uninhabited and claiming it for ourselves.

Also, obesity. It's a spreading epidemic brought on by sedentary lifestyle and bad eating habits.

Hypocrisy: I weigh over 300 pounds and am disgusted by fat people. I also hate other hypocrites.

dishonesty: People will lie or cheat all the time. If you hit someone with your car and no one sees it, you need to help that person instead of racing off and letting them die. The "As long as my life isn't affected" mentality is grossly disgusting.

Generating Racial Tension: I don't like a man for his actions and behaviors. He happens to be of a different race than my own. That doesn't make me racist. But people here will make a racist issue out of nearly anything in a heartbeat. The media always throws the race of a criminal and/or victim into a story as though it's relevant to the story in any way.

NOTE: Not all traits are limited to United States-ians. But I don't live around others to observe them like that.

Hunter65536: Funny thing is if someone ever mocks their English accent, either American or English people they'd be quick to call that person racist)

timppu: Finnish (partly stereotypes I think, but sometimes there's some truth to stereotypes too):
...
2. Shyness. Yes many Finns will appear shy and silent to Westerners (maybe not as much to many Asians which to me appear somewhat reserved as well), unless they are intoxicated. This is partly a good trait as well, why should someone keep talking if they don't really have anything to say.
...
4. Applies mostly to modern Finns: thinking that we are somehow entitled to our current/former level of living standard, even if we don't work for it (anymore). Some people shut their eyes thinking that we don't have to fight and work to keep our living standard in the globalized world. That even though it is nowadays the Chinese and Indians who do all the work, we should somehow be able to keep our living standards. I'd actually say this is more of an European trait than just a Finnish trait, maybe?

Hunter65536: North Indians tend to look down on South Indians and have a mindset that they are more superior and civilized compared to us. (Both of which are false) Plus one other habit that they've got is to mock South Indians for not having the perfect accent while talking Hindi. When they complain about how people were racist to them when they were traveling abroad, my belief in karma is reinforced. (Funny thing is if someone ever mocks their English accent, either American or English people they'd be quick to call that person racist)

On the other hand people from a particular state in south, Tamil Nadu tend to be excessively proud of their culture, to extent that they won't even reply to your queries if you are ever lost over there in any other language than Tamil. (I was unfortunate enough for that to happen to me, luckily found someone from some other state who could speak Hindi)

babark: Can be a bit of a sensitive topic, no? I mean, most people have no issue pointing out fault with their own countries, but when someone else does it, it's found to be somewhat impolite and offensive :D.

Regardless, Pakistanis have absolutely no concept of time.
I think it has been a very very rare incident where I arrived to meet someone at the time specified (or even later) and didn't have to wait a bit.
I remember there was one function that I was supposed to attend that started at 6, and I got there late, around 6:30. I was a bit worried until I realised that absolutely nobody else had arrived yet. The staff where the event was being hosted thought I was there to inspect it, so they showed me around everywhere to "prove" that everything is good. Later the event hosts chided me for coming so early, saying "This is Pakistan!".
This is also very true for weddings. If a wedding invites you to come at 8pm, you'd be an incredible fool to show up before 10pm, and even then it'd be likely you'll have to wait an hour or so before the bride or groom show up. Thankfully, there have been regulations put in place that coincidentally happen to curb this- commercial areas with a certain power consumption (such as wedding/party halls) and are required to stop after a specific time (usually 12am or 10pm), so everyone has to hurry to finish before then.

Might be something ingrained in the culture...after all, the urdu word for "tomorrow" and the word for "yesterday" is the same :D.

Crosmando: probably wrestling with crocodiles and stingrays... shit's dangerous man
