"The United States is an incredibly diverse country, but there are some stereotypes that people who live outside the country have about Americans as a whole, said the real estate website Estately. "The general stereotype is Americans are highly religious and wealthy consumers who spend their time firing guns, driving vehicles, stuffing their faces, watching reality TV, and are averse to traveling or learning about anything beyond their borders. Now certainly not every American fits that stereotype, but Estately set out to determine where that stereotype is most fitting."
