Stereotypes of Kuboians

Stereotypes of Kuboian people have evolved within their society, with many originating from the 1990s and early 2000s. Some are considered somewhat true, whilst others are considered inaccurate.

Bilingualism
Kuboians are often stereotyped as being able to speak English and Dutch fluently, with some also being able to fluently speak German and/or French. However, most Kuboians can only fluently speak English, with Dutch being more of a secondary language.

Environment and landscape
In foreign countries, Kuboia is often depicted as very cold, having a lot of forest areas and generally being inhabited by a lot of owls, spiders, shrews and wild hares. Though it does indeed have many forests containing animals associated with them, Kuboia is actually warmer than many people expect. Winters in the country usually feature moderate wind, occasionally with mild layers of snow, whilst summers are often hot and sunny. Rain occurs frequently during the autumn.

Food and drink
Internationally, Kuboia is known for gravy spiders, deer burgers and strawbiz. They are also typically stereotyped as eating a lot of grapes, savoury pies in puff pastry, sausage rolls and fruit-flavoured soft drinks.

Additionally, Kuboians in general seen as having very large appetites. Indeed, a lot of adult Kuboians have stated that they eat a lot of fast food, which is cheap and easy to supply in the country. Despite this, it also has one of the lowest obesity rates in Europe.

Media
Internationally, Kuboia is known for its children's programmes, which are often associated with the country's culture, particularly ones created by Kubokartoonz and distributed by TVVC, which are both stereotyped as having almost complete dominance in the market. In addition, Kuboia is also known for its dance and hip-hip music, with lipstick rap and KB hopscotch being frequently associated with the country's musical scene.

Sex and domestic behaviour
A negative stereotype associated with Kuboia frequently is their sex and domestic behaviour. Kuboian relatives, especially ones of a similar age, are often stereotyped as engaging in incest and other sexual activity. The country reportedly has the highest rate of incest amongst twins in Europe.

In addition, Kuboian adults are often seen as very lustful, with women usually seen as liking men much younger than them and being the dominant partner, whilst men are often seen as passive and "taking the back seat". Young Kuboian boys are usually stereotyped as behaving in an effeminate manner whilst girls are often referred to as "karouls".

However, the country is positively stereotyped as being very friendly towards the LGBTQ+ community.

Social behaviour
Kuboians are often seen as very friendly and casual people, but also shy and introverted. They may also be seen as uneducated due to the country's high amount of unschooled children in the 1990s, as well as the large amount of days children get off school throughout the year. However, Kuboians are also generally seen as having good taste and manners, and knowledge on other countries and their cultures. Additionally, the country is seen as being very "equal", with men and women both holding very similar rights and responsibilities, and laws set in place to avoid sexism.

Kuboians are also frequently depicted as patriotic and proud of their country. Although, they are also occasionally depicted as racist, and particularly disliking other English-speaking countries.

Kuboians in general are often seen as "family" people who care a lot about their relatives. Kuboian siblings, cousins and other relatives of similar ages are known for getting along well.

Sport
Kuboians are not as into sport compared to other countries in Europe, and the country generally does poorly in global sport events. According to statistics, Kuboians generally prefer an "alternative" approach to sport, such as bowling and darts, as well as sports of national origin such as chipper and zone.

Tourists
Foreigners generally have mixed opinions on Kuboian tourists, with some ciitng them as very friendly and showing interest in their culture, and others citing them as racist and frequently comparing other cultures negatively to their theirs. Both Kuboians and non-Kuboians frequently joke about how they regularly get sunburnt when on holidays abroad.
