Do you believe that there are personality traits specific to ethnicities ?

My friend jokes about her "Irish temper", I’ve heard about "Latin tempers" or "passion" and the French being "romantic".
Where do the stereotypes come from and is there anything to them other than hype ? 🤔

Stereotypes are just that, stereotypes. They may be true for some people but not everyone and it would be erroneous to assume so. I do think that cultural and societal conditioning and the way you grew up seeing the people around you behave can shape your behavior as well to some extent. But people also have individual differences which is why you can't generalize.
