stereotypes

America likes to think that their culture is superior and nothing that they do is weird at all. They expect that everybody looks up to them from other countries and that they are basically the best in every way shape and form. As an American, I don't think I'm very qualified to be the one to burst this bubble, so I'll let Redditors do it for me.

People on Reddit are sharing the weird things that Americans do that they initially thought were just silly stereotypes from films and such, but are actually very true. Some of these cultural norms are less flattering than others.

If you've watched enough movies, you start to become familiar with the Cliche's associated with certain types of people. You know, all those movie character stereotypes like the competitive soccer mom, the kind-hearted cop or the fat best friend. They can be tiresome, but when called out and identified, they're actually pretty funny. Rory Turnbull, an assistant linguistics professor in Hawaii (according to his Twitter bio) tweeted a movie trope about his profession that nailed the stereotype so hard the tweet went totally viral. 

In "Dressing Up As Tinder Cliches", a couple decided to have a little fun with Tinder and to recreate the stereotypes and clichés met on the famous dating app. Via: Ufunk
