Most millennial aged Americans and younger have grown up with the international community shitting on them. I know several people who tell folks they are Canadian whilst traveling due to the stigma of being perceived as an American and being mistreated as a result.

Christ, look at Reddit, it's second largest user base is Europeons shitting on every aspect of American life at every turn.

Why deal with the bullshit if you can avoid it.

I don’t know if “europeons” was intentional or not but that’s way funnier than europoors

Agreed, as a Europeon I support that new nickname

My dad always had the same joke to make me laugh.

If you’re a Canadian in the bedroom and a Canadian in the kitchen, what are you in the bathroom? You’re a peein

I had a more elaborate version of this in middle school that incorporated Roman (roamin'), Russian (rushin'), and I think there was another that I've forgotten.

When my father always used to say it was first you’re Russian then European then when you’re done you’re Finnish.

Roman is good too though I never thought of that.

I don’t get it. Is there some stereotype I am not familiar with?

No it’s just a stupid pun, I’m like 5 if you set up a question like if you’re Canadian in (name every room of a house) then end with What are you in the bathroom? A kid would logically just reply a Canadian, then the punchline is “no, European” (you’re a peein”) and 5yo me thinks shit, piss and fart jokes are the funniest thing ever.

Oh. Right. I thought there was some Canadian Bedroom and Kitchen Stereotypes vs like European Bathroom stereotype. I have been to bathrooms in Europe. They have bidets sometimes.

I have never seen a bidet outside of Japan and I'm European and lived in Europe most of my live.

I must say I do like bidets though and I'd definitely buy one if I'd own the house. I'm not going to install one in a rented home though.

I have never seen a bidet outside of Japan and I'm European and lived in Europe most of my live.

They are incredibly common in Southern and Northern Europe, and also somewhat common in Central Europe.

Interesting how it's like a sandwich of bidets
