”英國男生都是紳士？“ The "British Gentlemen" idea...
二分之一弱來了！大家久等了，不好意思！
在台灣聽過無數次「英國食物很難吃」以外，其次就是「英國男生都是紳士」的刻板印象。
如果你是一名英國人，在你自己的國家被英國人搶劫，你就會了解這個刻板印象多好笑。
「紳士」這個意思是指言行舉止都溫文有禮等，這個形容是不分國籍的。我住過英國、美國、中國和台灣，都在這些地方遇過所謂的紳士、淑女和沒教養的人、壞人等。
衡量一個人的品行最直接的方式，可以看一個人若比別人擁有更多權力與機會時，會如何去對待那些比他沒機會、沒能力的人。會因為自己的優勢而霸凌別人嗎？或是欺負他們、佔他們便宜？還是會幫助甚至保護這些人？
這與宗教、性別、年齡都無關，更不用說國籍。
相信在台灣長大的你一定遇過一些所謂修養很好的人跟品性不好的人、形形色色的人在每一個國家都存在著。如果先帶有偏見去看待了「一整個國家」的人，假如一個人出現不符合你偏見的期待，就覺得這個人反而很異類...但事實上，是你自己用一個狹隘的眼光去看待這個世界。你當然可以繼續將這些國家簡單化，但不變的是，每個社會都是由擁有巨大差異性的「個人」所組成，每一個國家都是如此。

Aside from being told all the food from the UK is disgusting... I often get told that all British men are gentlemen.
I've spent time in four countries, the U.S.A, UK, China and Taiwan, and have had people treat me well and badly in each. A person's nationality does not dictate their personality. The true test of a person's character is how they treat a person who is weaker, has less options or at a disadvantage to themselves in one way or another. Does that person exploit them? Bully them? Help them? Or does that person seek to protect them? This is a sign of character that has nothing to do with race, nationality, age or sex. You can make carpet statements about a the whole populous if you want, but it won't change the fact every country is made of a complex society with a huge spectrum of behaviours and personality types.
