Combatting Stereotypes

"What is a European? Someone with the industriousness of the Spanish, the sobriety of the Irish, the palate of the English, the sense of humor of the Germans, the generosity of the Dutch, the modesty of the French and the courage of the Italians. In other words, a Belgian."
- Antoon Pardon, via Peter Van Roy
