via Peter, I present the Prejudice Map.

Philipp Lenssen runs Google Blogoscoped, a blog covering Google, the search engine world, online research, and other related (and unrelated) topics. He had the idea to do a search of stereotypes throughout the world (or at least, the English-writing, online world) by doing a search on Google. He started out with "Germans are known for *" (the asterisk indicates a wildcard) and noted down the top three or four matches. He then did it for a number of major countries and the map is the result.

I tried it and learnt that Singaporeans are known for their kiasu mentality, for stereotyping, and for choosing eating as their favourite past-time. Pretty accurate! The fourth link is a repeat of the kiasu-ness, so I guess we are very renowned (notorious?) for it.

Meanwhile, Malaysians are known for friendliness, warmth and "dry" curry. Indonesians are known for suppressing emotions, massage technique and hospitality (especially due to their massage technique!). Thais are known for their hospitality and love of sanuk (fun). The last is definitely true. I think I'm becoming a bit Thai by association.
