what is the first thought that comes to your mind when somebody tells you that he/she is a foreigner( I mean idea about that person) and do your stereotpes depend on the country that that person came from or you have the same sterotypes about all foreingers no matter where they come from?

Well,
If they are Hispanic, they are Mexicans
If they are Mexicans, they are all 'uneducated' and illegal immigrants.
If they are Muslim, they are all 'terrorists'
If they are Arab, they are the same
anyway, they emerge as 'exotic' people from another world!
Some Americans don't have these stereotypes, but many do.

It does depend the place they're from and how fluently they say that they are foreign places. in the event that they stumble over the English I frequently assume that they could have hassle following what I say if i take advantage of particularly some slang words. i don't be attentive to, i assume my in basic terms actual stereotype for foreigners is they are not from the U. S.. (i'm assuming that's what you meant by skill of united statesa., as united statesa. is a continent)

I don't know, I guess my only real stereotype for foreigners is that they're not from the United States. (I'm assuming that's what you meant by America, as America is a continent)

It depends on what country your from to what stereotype exists, and of course everyone is different, so I can't speak for all Americans. I really don't have any stereotypes that I can think of except I feel like everyone hates americans for some reason.

Depends on the country or region the person is from.

Foreigners generally think Americans are poorly educated, ignorant of world events, crude and self-centered. They're right.

I don't have any negative associations with it...I view them, regardless of country, of people who are not accustomed to our country as of yet and I usually think of foreigners as hard working people....the history of American immigration shows them to be hard workers trying to get acclimated to the country and culture, and make it.
