IF the world was a high school...........
If the world was a high school, here's how I think it would look like :)
Americans would be the football team. Loud, popular, obnoxious yet looked up to by a large hero seeking following. Due to the diversity of sizes and builds in a football team, they could connect to the rest of the school in some way, but don't due to their tendencies to tease and belittle those who are different or smarter. And of course, the shadows the football team cast would be filled with those who hate them, resent them and are jealous of them. Don't forget the cheerleader squad, they are American too.
The Irish would be the class clowns. Witty, entertaining, yet self sabotaging. The life of the party and the butt of the jokes. Sexually active largely due to kind girls with strong maternal instincts and saviour complexes.
The British would make up the chess team and the debating team. Pompous and elitist among themselves, yet largely uncared for by the rest of the school. Those british without the benefit of a sharp tongue or strategic mind make up the skinheads.
Canadians are the big friendly fat guys who bring the kegs to the parties for the Football team to chug from.
The Finnish would be the goths. Gloomy, skeptical and suicidal.
The French would be the guys who no one likes but always seem to have hot girlfriends and no one knows why
The Italians would still be who the actually are in real life......greaseball douchebags.
The Swedes would make up the "preppies" of the student body. No purpose, no function but to look good and be loved for it.
The Germans are the hardcore drinkers who start fights at parties with the debating team and the strange womanizers but end up getting pounded by the football team.
The Asians and East Indians make up the nerds and math team. While they may be teased and unpopular in high school, it just takes one look at the world population to see who's really getting laid the most after graduation!
Feel free to add any I have left out :)
Edit : The Dutch are the drug dealers. They tolerate anyone passing through their ports as long as business is done :P

Now, you left out a big part of the world. What would the arabs be ? The russians ? The africans ? The south americans ?

You forgot about the Jews. Because any racial stereotyping list needs the Jews on it.
You also forgot to mention who made up the special ed class and rode the short bus.

American's style of high school it's totally missunderstanding, creating some class of the people stinks as some racism. high school it's learning, not showing who is better in football, who has most pretty girls, who has more seks etc...
I watched movie "Nerds" 1 and 2 and this is idiotic parody of the american stupid high shool.

ONE thing is spot on here: the western view of the world.
The Swedes. 9 million people
The Finnish. 4-5 million people I think.
The Asians. 3 300 000 million people or so. Or maybe 3 400 000 million people. But I mean, does it matter, who cares anyway? Hilarious.

I don't think there's 3.3 trillion asians....
at least not yet.
but yeah, I've always laughed at how Europe and its subsidaries always called themselves "the rest of the world" when talking to us Americans.
funny analogy btw stereotypical, but quite funny.

Not sure how the Arabs, Russians, Africans and South Americans would fit... but we have forgotten the Band Geeks, the Stoners, the Drama Club and (shudder) the Glee Club.

americans would be the football team. loud, popular, ...
wait, what?

74.1% of american adults are obese. I'm guessing it's not going to be a winning season for the football team?
Still, it won't stop them from being loud or obnoxious, I'm sure.

You know the difference between race and religion, don't you ?

I agree, it's laughable because in my opinion American people are known as fatties, fast food fanatics, the cars buyers for their 16 aged kids. Footbalists it's margin of the people. Plus, even if they have played football in the high shool then most of them after shool is fat anyway.
Something as Al Bundy

Nice to know your view of us Spiro you old wolf.
At least it only takes one of us to screw in a light-bulb though, HA!

looks like those in the "shadows" are showing themselves. Manbush's analogy is holding true.

"You forgot about the Jews. Because any racial stereotyping list needs the Jews on it."
"You know the difference between race and religion, don't you ?"
Because of their low mixing with other peoples, a case can be made for a Jewish race (unless you're a biologist, in which case all humans are one race).
However, neither race nor religion applies to the OP, which is about nationality.
As for Spiro;
I think the description of Americans is quite accurate, except for the fact that I suspect most people don't like the football players all that much, but do pay lip service to their status.
What you do not seem to grasp is that the descriptions in the OP are of the peoples, not of the individuals.

As Wikipedia tells me, the word "race" was once used (it is not used any more, because the word itself seems to be outdated science-wise) to describe the different peoples, i.e. the nationalities. And since a jew can live not only in israel but in the whole world, he can have every nationalitiy there is.
But this discussion is a waste of time ... let's not do that any more
