but by your logic, we then wouldn't be able to point out that EVERY french man rides a bike whilst wearing a black and white stripey top with onions round his neck, and we wouldn't be able to say the germans nick the sun beds.

stereotypes are fun.
Being British in Canada leads to lots of people coming up with fun steriotypes about the British, of which I play into sometimes, other times I pretend to be offended by their 'racism'.
It's tough to be offended by steriotypes if you're secure in your identity as a person or a race, but they *can* lead to skewed thinking.
