Stereotyping people because of where they're from isn't the way to end racism. We are all brothers and sisters and don't need stereotypes to conform to. We're all individual just like everybody else. 'I'm not'. There's too much conformity in the world, characterising national traits doesn't help that. Sometimes we act the way people expect us to act. Some people conform to what they think people will accept them as. I am a citizen of the cosmos. We don't need borders.

Poorly worded question..........
You can't characterise people because of their nationality. Different people have different characteristics. To do so is a form of ignorance or prejudice commonly described as racism.
Racism extends beyond how a person prays or what colour skin they have, it is forming an opinion about a person or group of people based upon a generalisation or preconceived ideas.
However in fairness if you had asked how are the following nationalities portrayed in their characteristics

I speak on behalf of another who shall remain nameless ;-))
Americans: make love like they drive, fast noisy and often with little consideration for their passengers.
Russians: Like sex, but their liking for vodka takes precedence and exceeds their tolerance for it.
English: Range from love me love my pig to folding their socks before getting into bed. Some stallions turn out to be geldings and some donkeys turn out to be stallions.
French: Believe their own hype without any real merit
Germans: "Dunno I never did a German" verbatim I swear
Italians: Believe their own hype and live up to it. Wooohooo

Italians: usually brown hair and eyes, olive skin. Use hand movements ALOT when talking, dont know how to drive
English: pale,pale pale.. love tea, speak with an accent, have special words for stuff e.g. toilet is the loo
ofcourse not everyone is like this!! these traits are usually just someone kidding around..(like all english are pale is not true, but if ur pale ppl joke by saying u look english )

Yay, you got the PC crews attention :)
Here is an easy mathmatical way
English > Americans, French, Germans, Italians and Russians.
In that order :)
Yay I got the PC crews attention :) I hope that thumbs down is for spelling mathematical wrong.

Americans are the best...then either the Germans or Italians, then the French (they're moving up in the world), then it's a very tough choice between the Russians and the English...

Americans are full of brio and blind spots.
Russians are melancholy and fatalistic.
English are reserved, but ascerbic.
French are gastronomic; who else would use "my little cabbage" as a term of romantic endearment.
Germans are great thinkers, but order usually rules the day.
Italians are emotionally volatile and earthy.
Stereotypes, but a quick snapshot.

You can't, only by drawing on stereotypes which many people find offensive.
