Americans tend to have many stereotypes. Foreigners tend to think Americans are obese, racist, and that we lack care and cultural awareness. Over a third of Americans are obese and non-Americans tend to think it is because Americans eat too much fast food. Racism is a huge stereotype because of Americas past. People tend to think that America is the only country to deal with racism. Lastly, people tend to think that Americans do not care about others and that we lack cultural awareness. The lack of cultural awareness comes from our school systems not teaching us about all countries and their cultures.
