Russians, Czechs, Nigerian, Syrian.

No matter how friendly and agreeable you are it's simply impossible. Keep trying though.

Not a racist thread at all but it's interesting how communication is completely different throughout the world. All of us are a pain in the arse.

Australians. Kenyans.

That's a tough one

I think history can answer that one for virtually anyone outside of covers.com which is as insulated as the eggs under the fattest of hens.

Easily white people of various backgrounds, mostly moody women. That is all that I work with. There is a Hindu guy that I work with that always tells Polish jokes which is kind of funny, but also kind of weird.

 Probably true. Americans are nuts and they all know but try sarcasm joking with a Czech or a Russian. No way in hell. If I can't do it nobody can.

The laughers are black people and central / south americans. Laughter and joking is their foundation. Good people.

Sense of humor brings all of us together in the end I believe.

 I find that when I get closer to D.C. I get increasingly frustrated by the rudeness of Koreans. Whether it be driving on the roads or just pushing a shopping cart, Koreans are oblivious to the concerns of anyone but themselves.

 I also have discovered that if you run a local business you had better have a Korean(s) employed or risk losing any potential Korean clientele as they seem to do business exclusively with fellow countrymen.

Not a race/culture/nationality thing, but old people are a huge pain in the behind.... They are rude, will run you down with a vehicle or shopping cart if you're in the way and just don't care.  Damn blue hairs!

Canadians have little or no exposure to foreign cultures.

African-American Women.....and its not even close...

I understand why though, which helps give me the patience needed to deal with the crazy ones and not lose my cool...

Empathy can do a lot for a guy...

I get along with all nationalities as I don't really see race.

We all bleed red on the inside.

The fuk are you talking about.  Over 50% of the population of Toronto was born outside of Canada.  

The only city in the world that I've been to that is more multicultural is Sydney.

this is exactly what happens when you represent a country who acts as the world police.  I know you have the CFL which is to be respected but i'm not going to be big headed about saying the NFL is way better here, know what i mean.  Unfortunately there are some people who have no regard outside of their own box they've been living in.  It's kinda like a billionaire who wants to get their assets up to another billion and so forth.  What are they going to do with all that money?  it's a power trip.  And i know you might think nothing of it when it comes to the usa being the "world police" or something as simple as an american based tv show being shown in so many other parts of the country but people start getting ignorant and think they are #1.  It's perfectly fine to be #1 but show some respect for those who might not even speak english, know what i'm saying?  

leafsneedD, i was sorry to see that you had to defend a very very stupid comment and here i am as american.  I'm sorry to see that at times it seems that the majority of american people can't think outside of their own box, but i really hope those who aren't americans can really understand and appreciate what i'm trying to say.

More Canadians follow the NFL than CFL.  Go Dolphins!

The people that do not speak English. Those clearly are the ones I have the most difficult time with.
They can just go back to Mars or wherever their alien a'ss came from with all that gibberish.

Asian women.

I don't care if Scal calls me racist for this one because they drive like Sh!t. It's some sort of deficiency that is built into their genes that doesn't allow them to drive well. Then to compound the problem, a lot of them think that driving the largest SUV possible will make them better drivers. I remember once running home from my gym (less than three miles) and almost getting mowed down by multiple Asian women. I guess at least pausing before turning right on red is just a little bit to much to ask....so is being able to see over the steering wheel. I'm not sure why they wear these visors that look like welding masks either. It can't be beneficial to their already poor driving abilities.

Men have better spatial visualization as a consequence of biology.

It is theorized that since primative men were the protectors and/or hunters of their tribe, they needed to be 'on the lookout' continually for danger and/or a possible kill.

In the modern era, this trait has not diminished in males and comes in quite handy for driving (and even moreso for airline pilots).

Unfortunately, men are FAR more dangerous behind the wheel (statistics from insurance companies show this), primarily because of their aggressiveness making the beef you have with Asian women pale in comparison (of course in their own right, I am not disputing that either gender can be aggressive as individuals).

I've worked with many people from the far east.  Stereotypical hard workers, but not all have good conflict resolution skills (many choose to avoid it all together).  I did work with this Thai gal who had a huge rack (and a major crush on me).  I wanted to hit it so bad, but I was afraid she would cut my nuts off if I did her and then blew her off.  

There was one Vietnamese woman I was scared of as well.  

The two most difficult people I ever worked with were white females.
