So let’s further the noble cause of recognizing Ukrainians as people worthy of some good, juicy stereotypes. Let me offer a few:
1. Ukrainians only have 2 emotional states: we either cry or laugh, but we do both with complete abandon.
2. It is very difficult to annoy Ukrainians because we are so laid back and happy. But once you do, we become like elephants who crush everything in their way.
3. Ukrainians eat the most unhealthy food in the world. After Americans, of course.
4. Ukrainians get extremely attached to their houses and decorate them to the point where they become very Baroque.
5. Ukrainians are very hard – working but mostly in what concerns menial tasks or working on the land.
6. Ukrainians have a very joyful exuberant sexuality that knows little boundaries.
7. Ukrainians are great at singing but horrible at dancing.
8. Ukrainians are scarily talkative. Very, very chatty people. Which you’d never guess based on the number of posts on this blog.
9. Ukrainian women are bossy and domineering in a way unequaled by women anywhere else in the world.
