Stuff and nonsense, Bill. Everyone with any sense knows there's some substance to national stereotypes. I'll grant you there are always exceptions, but as a rule, you'll find the Irish are drunks, Armenians are dishonest, Australians are ignorant and rude, Germans are hard-working but ill-tempered, the French are haughty and conceited, the English are kind-hearted and generous, Africans are savages, Canadians are desperately dull, the Swiss are punctual and meticulous; the Chinese are beastly towards animals. It's only the blinkered hoards of woke Lefties that deny these differences and constantly insist that everyone's the same. All the same! What a preposterous notion! So I'll stick by my analysis of the Russians - and you would agree if you'd ever read anything by the likes of Chekhov, Solzhenitsyn , Turgenev or Dostoyevski - which clearly you haven't. Do yourself a favour and pick up a book some time and you just might learn something of the world.
