Thomas Yen, lives in Australia
Australian here!
Things that you should never say in Australia:
Saying Australia and New Zealand is the same country - this triggers both Australian and New Zealanders actually, and they’ll probably get really annoyed if you say that.
You should be driving on the right side of the road - driving on the left side of the road is a tradition brought from the British during the colonization of Australia. That being said though, driving on either side of the road doesn’t matter, as our traffic has long adapted to the left. Besides, we’re not the only ones doing it.

澳大利亚人在此!
在澳大利亚千万不要说的话:
“澳大利亚和新西兰是同一个国家。”
——说这句话你基本上把澳大利亚人和新西兰人都得罪了,他们会很生气。
“开车应该靠右行驶。”
——靠左行驶是我们的传统,这个传统是在澳大利亚殖民时期从英国带来的,其实这事不重要,但我们的交通习惯就是这样的,而且,我们不是唯一这么做的国家。

WWII is pretty much the ultimate sore spot for a lot of countries.
"Finland spent the war helping the Nazis."
"(Insert neutral country here) let the Holocaust happen."
"Germany is a Nazi country."
"(Something-something-something-something) cheese eating surrender monkeys."
"America saved Britain."
"England…"
"America committed genocide by dropping the nukes."
"Italy changed sides because they were losing."

二战几乎是很多国家的终极痛点。
"芬兰在战争中帮助纳粹"。
"_____(此处插入任意中立国)让大屠杀发生。"
"德国是一个纳粹国家。"
"(某某某)是吃奶酪的投降派。"
"美国拯救了英国。"
"英格兰......"
"美国投下核弹,犯下了种族灭绝罪。"
"意大利站队,是因为他们要输了。"

Madan Subba
Nepal here.
“Buddha was born in India.” This really triggers my Nepalis compatriots. Never say it to a Nepali unless you are looking for a fight. It is true that Buddha spent most of his life in places that are in India today and got his enlightenment there, but he was born in Kapilvastu, which is in Nepal today. That’s the only thing that matters to a lot of my compatriots. If someone famous and influential says this, there may be riots in the streets of our cities and bazaars.
“Nepal is a part of India” OR “Nepal should join India” OR “India should annex Nepal.” This makes Nepalis really really angry. We Nepalis love our independence. We are mighty proud of the fact that we were never colonized. Even making such a suggestion is enough for my compatriots to blow their top. If someone famous and influential says this, there may be riots in the streets of our cities and bazaars.
“Mt. Everest is in the north of India.” Many English textbooks published in India (and used in Nepal) in the past used to have this line and it used to make us really pissed off. To us Nepalis, Mt. Everest is in Nepal and that’s it. No nonsense like in the north of India or south of China (although the northern face does in fact belong to China).

我尼泊尔人。
· 在尼泊尔,除非你是准备来干架的,否则你绝对不能说的一句话是:“佛祖诞生于印度”。
——佛祖一生的大部分时间确实是在今天的印度度过的,并在那里开悟,但他的出生地,是在今天尼泊尔的卡帕尔瓦图,对我的大多数同胞们来说,这是唯一重要的事情,如果某个名人或有社会影响力的人,说了这句话,可能会引发社会上的骚乱和大麻烦。
· “尼泊尔是印度的一部分”或“尼泊尔应该加入印度”或“印度应该吞并尼泊尔”。
——这会让尼泊尔人非常非常愤怒,我们尼泊尔人热爱独立,历史上从未被殖民过,对此我们倍感自豪,谁要说这样的话也会让我的同胞们大发雷霆。
· "珠穆朗玛峰位于印度的北部"
——过去印度出版的许多英语教科书(在尼泊尔使用)都有这句话,它曾经让我们非常生气,对我们尼泊尔人来说,珠穆朗玛峰是在尼泊尔,仅此而已,没有什么像“位于印度北部”或“位于中国南部”那样的废话(尽管北面确实属于中国)。

Jamin, lives in The United States of America
How to trigger Americans.
I do not agree or disagree with all the sentences below; these are just sentences that would get the average American triggered — rightly or wrongly — followed by the most likely reactions to them.
(takes a deep breath)
(clasps hands)
Here we go.
“F*ck the troops.” How dare you insult our troops who protect our freedom? Do you have any respect for those who served and/or died for this country? Why don’t you join the military?
“F*ck the flag.” Do you know what this flag stands for? This flag stands for freedom. People have died for this flag, and by disrespecting the flag you are disrespecting everyone who died for your freedom!
“We should raise taxes in order to…” GASP! “No wait, let me finish…” SoCiAlisM! “No, we pay more in taxes but we earn…” VeNeZuElA! NoRtH KoReA! ZiMbAbWe!
“We [meaning America] are not the greatest country in the world.” Then why does everyone come here? Why are you here? Why don’t you move to China or Africa?
“I don’t think we should go to war against [insert country here].” But have you seen the chemical attack/massacre/some other atrocity on TV? Children are dying, look at the children! Someone’s got to do something, or else it’s going to happen here!
“We need to do something about guns.” How dare you disrespect my second amendment rights! “I’m not talking about the second —” Our founding fathers once said…(goes on a rant about how the government will become a tyranny and it’s up to an armed population to stop them)
“I don’t believe in God.” So you deny your maker and your savior, the Lord Jesus Christ? Here’s what God said about….(quotes some obscure passage in the Bible) Why are you bringing religion into this?!

如何惹恼美国人。
我不同意或赞同下面所有的话,这只是一些会让普通美国人甚感恼火的话——无论对错
注:后面是美国人最有可能的反应。
(深吸一口气)
(扣手)
开始吧。
· "去他妈的军队"
——美国人:你怎么敢侮辱保护我们自由的军队?你对那些为这个国家服务和牺牲的人有尊重吗?你为什么不加入军队?
· "去他妈的国旗"
——美国人:你知道这面旗子代表什么吗?这面旗帜代表着自由,人们为这面旗帜而牺牲,不尊重这面旗帜,就是不尊重为你的自由而牺牲的每一个人!
· "我们应该提高税收,以便......"
—— 美国人:喘气中!
"不,等等,让我说完..."
美国人:你社会主义者 !
"不,我们缴更多的税,但我们赚得..."
美国人:委内瑞拉 ! 朝鲜 ! 津巴布韦 !
· " 我们[指美国]不是世界上最伟大的国家。"
—— 美国人:那为什么大家都来这?你为什么在这?你为什么不搬到中国或者非洲去?
· "我不认为我们应该对 [此处插入某国家] 开战。"
——美国人:你在电视上看到化学武器袭击/大屠杀/其他一些暴行了吗?孩子们正在死去,看看这些孩子!我们应该做些什么?有人得做点什么,否则这里也会发生这样的事!
· "我们得稍微控制下枪支。"
——美国人:你怎么敢不尊重我们的第二修正案权利!?
"我不是在说第二....."
美国人:我们的开国元勋说过......(大肆宣扬政府将成为暴政,要靠武装的民众来阻止他们)。
· "我不信上帝。"
——美国人:所以你否认你的造物主和你的救主,主耶稣基督?上帝是这么说的:....(引用《圣经》中一些晦涩难懂的段落)为什么你要把宗教扯进来 !?

Soheil Ebipour
You want to trigger Iran? Here are some ways:
Alexander “The great” - Better just call him “Alexander of Macedon”.
A.r.a.b.i.a.n Gulf .
Iranians are all Arabs. - Only 2 percent are Arab.
Iran is all desert.
Women wear burqa in Iran.

想激怒伊朗人? 这里有一些方法:
“亚历山大-大-帝”——最好叫他“马其顿的亚历山大”。
“阿-拉-伯-湾”
“伊朗人都是阿拉伯人”——只有2%的伊朗人是阿拉伯人。
“伊朗全是沙漠。”
“伊朗妇女穿罩袍。”

Nadhiya Athaide, studied History at University of Mohaghegh Ardabili
Iran :
“Oh so you’re Arab and speak Arabic right” - Many Iranians will take great offense if someone just assumes that they’re Arab. Yes, we have Arab minorities, but the majority of Iranians are Persians who speak Persian
“Isn’t Iran like really poor ” - This is the 2nd worst thing to say behind calling all Iranian’s Arab. Iran is actually very developed and our cities look like any other Western city. Iran’s economy is one of the largest in the Middle East and living conditions for the average Iranian are decent.
“Shia’s arent real Muslims” - This statement is not only extreme but will surely anger the common Iranian, even if they aren’t a staunchly devout Shia. Iranian’s are very defensive of their faith. You can expect death threats, harassment and even prison or execution for making a statement like this.
“Isn’t Iran like full of terrorist” - This statement will outrage any Iranian. Iran is one of the safest countries in the Middle East and terrorist attacks are incredibly rare. Unfortunately, because of our close proximity to Afghanistan and Iraq, this label is often falsely thrown upon us.
“Iran is boring right, seems like it” - As a historian, this statement irks me the most. Iran is home to one of the worlds first civilizations, thousands of years worth of history and culture are cemented into Iran’s past. Iran is one of the few places on earth where one can witness the true beginnings of empires and human civilization. We Iranians are extremely proud of our ancient history and you can expect to annoy many with a statement like this

伊朗:
1. “伊朗人是阿拉伯人,伊朗人说阿拉伯语。”
如果有人说伊朗人是阿拉伯人,伊朗人会很生气。阿拉伯人在伊朗只是少数民族,但绝大多数伊朗人是波斯人,说的是波斯语。
2.“伊朗是不是很穷? ”
——这是第二糟糕的一句话,仅次于把所有伊朗人都称为阿拉伯人,伊朗实际上非常发达,我们的城市看起来和其他西方城市没什么不同,伊朗是中东最大的经济体之一,普通伊朗人的生活条件还算不错。
3.“什叶派不是真正的穆斯林。”
——这种说法不仅极端,而且肯定会激怒大多数的伊朗人,即使他们不是坚定的什叶派信徒,伊朗人非常捍卫他们的信仰,发表这样的声明,你可能会受到死亡威胁、骚扰,甚至坐牢或处决。
4.“伊朗是不是到处都是恐怖分子?”
伊朗是中东地区最安全的国家之一,恐怖袭击极为罕见,不幸的是,由于我们与阿富汗和伊拉克关系密切,我们经常被错误地贴上这一标签。
5. "伊朗很枯燥无聊吧?"
作为一个历史学家,这种说法最让我生气,伊朗是世界上最早的文明的发源地之一,伊朗的过去凝结着数千年的历史和文化,伊朗是地球上少数几个可以见证帝国和人类文明真正开端的地方之一,我们伊朗人对自己的古老历史感到非常自豪,你可以想像,这样的说法来惹恼许多人。

Many sentences in India can trigger Indians in general. Here goes the list:
Saying that beef is the best food:- Applicable only in a few states of India, the rest will try to kill you for saying that.
Pakistan is better than in India in every way:- Be assured you will end in a lock-up (best case scenario) or you may end up in a morgue.
Indian cricket team sucks:- You’ll piss off half the world (we Indians are scattered everywhere)
PM Narendra Modi is very incompetent:- You’ll trigger half the country by saying this.
Paneer is tastes like shit:- The entire country will behind your blood.
LGBT is cool:- You’ll be looked upon and if you are in tier 2 city and in a tier 3 city you may be shunned from the society.
Kashmir doesn’t belong to India:- Rest assured half the country will be baying for your blood and you’ll probably end up in prison for saying this.

下面这些话可能会惹火印度人 :
1.“牛肉是最好的食物。”
——这个表述只适用于印度的少数几个邦,其他地方的印度人会因为你说这话而杀了你。
2.“巴基斯坦在各个方面都比印度好。”
——请放心,你要么被关起来(最好的情况),要么送进太平间。
3.“印度板球队烂透了。”
——你会惹怒半个世界(我们印度人遍布世界各地)。
4.“莫迪非常无能。”
——这样说会激怒半个印度。
5.“Paneer(印度奶酪)的味道就像大便。”
——整个国家都会揍你。
6. “LGBT 很酷”
——你会被看不起,如果你是在二线城市和三线城市你大概率社死。
7.“克什米尔不属于印度。”
——放心,全国有一半的人会喊着要给你放血,你可能会因为说了这话而进监狱。

Paolo Ferrari, knows German
“So you are Italian? Mafia, pizza, mandolin, chaos, inefficiency”
This stereotype is due to the fact that the large majority of Italian immigrants in the US were from the South.
Well, while Southern Italians are somehow akin to this stereotype, the North is almost completely another country. As a matter of a fact, Northerners are (not unexpectedly) somehow more similar to Southern French and Austrian depending on the regions.
“Italians? You are the burden of Europe! You are all corrupted! Only Greece is worse”
It is common knowledge that there is a high level of corruption in the Italian bureaucratic system, which is in some cases related to organised crime.
Whatever the origin, it all originated after WWII, when the political parties of the time (Christian Democracy, Communist Party, Socialist Party, etc…) began to hire many unemployed people as civil servants.
This practice mostly occurred at a regional/parochial level: the leading party of the area granted job placement in exchange of votes. Those who knew the persons of interest inside the party had of course more chances to be hired and have other family members hired.
Add to this the fact that Italian trade unxs have always been warlike so that firing anyone from a private company is complicated and, even worse, it is practically impossible to fire any civil servant and you have the perfect storm.
However, I would like to remind that other states (France and Germany) took advantage of European aids when it came to save they own banks, and Italy as a member had to contribute to this. Now it seems like these countries don’t want to allow Italy for a less strict economic manoeuvre and they require Italy to stick to the austerity parameters, the ones that they did not respect themselves when it was the time.
The fact is that France and Germany have their own interests in keeping Italian economy down as long as possible: it’s always a matter of eliminating a competitor.

“你是意大利人? 你们那....黑手党、披萨、曼陀林(一种琵琶乐器)、混乱、低效”
这种刻板印象主要是由于美裔意大利移民大部分来自意大利南部,嗯,虽然南部的确……
但我敢肯定地说意大利北部几乎完全是另一个国家,事实上,南北非常不一样,北方人(这并不意外) 在某种程度上与法国南部和奥地利人更相似。
“你是意大利人?你们就是欧洲的负担! 你们太腐败了!也就希腊比你们糟糕”
众所周知,意大利的官僚体系腐败严重,而且有的还和黑帮勾勾搭搭,不管导致这种社会现象的原因是什么,但他们都起源于第二次世界大战后,当时的政党(基督教民主、共产党、社会主义党等)雇佣了许多失业人员作为公务员。
这种做法主要发生在地方/教区一级:一些政客为了获取选票,随意给选民安排工作,那些和党内重要人物有利益输送的人有更多的机会被雇用,裙带关系盛行。此外,意大利的工会向来好斗,普通公司要解雇一个员工都复杂得不得了,更不用说要解雇一个公务员了,那简直就是一场大灾难。
然而,我想提醒的是,其他国家(法国和德国)在拯救他们自己的银行时利用了欧洲的援助,而意大利作为一个成员不得不为此做出贡献,现在看来,这些国家并不想让意大利放宽经济政策,他们要求意大利坚持紧缩政策,而这些在当时他们自己都没有遵守。
事实是,法国和德国有自己的利益,在尽可能长时间地压制意大利经济:永远都是为了淘汰竞争对手。

Sayed Jawad, Hopped for a decade between Communication, IT and Linguistics
“America and Britain don't plot against Muslims all the time”.
“Pakistan is not a monolith. There are good Pakistanis, just like there are bad ones".
“There are bad Indians too. Other than Bollywood villains".
“Women have rights by default. Americans didn't invent them to emasculate Afghan men".
“All Afghans are not innocent. We are the biggest cause of our misery".
“Terrorists are misguided Muslims, but they are Muslims nonetheless".
“Iranians cook better rice than Afghans”.
“Pakistanis know how to spice their Kebab".
“Mango is tastier than melon”.
“Afghanistan has been conquered by both Alexander and Genghis".
“Alexander never sent Afghanistan's soil to his mama for analysis of Afghan masculinity, and Genghis's descendents make up at least 30 percent of the country's population”.
“Anglo-Afghan war was not a decisive victory. The second was a defeat and the third was a stalemate, and actually our acknowledgement of the Durand line as international border".
“There is no credible proof that the Brits stole uranium from Helmand".
“Americans are not directly involved in drug trade".
“Mullah Omar was a real dude with a tribe and family".
“Afghanistan's borders were not drawn by God Almighty himself".
And the list goes on!

"美国和英国并非总在密谋反对穆斯林"。
"巴基斯坦不是铁板一块,有好的巴基斯坦人,也有坏的巴基斯坦人"。
"除了宝莱坞的恶棍,印度也有坏人"。
"妇女有权利是默认的,美国人发明这些权利并不是为了削弱阿富汗男人的地位"。
"所有阿富汗人都不无辜,我们自己才是造成我们痛苦的最大原因"。
"恐怖分子是误入歧途的穆斯林,但他们还是穆斯林"。
"伊朗人做的米饭比阿富汗人好"。
"巴基斯坦人知道如何给他们的烤肉添加香料"。
"芒果比甜瓜更美味"。
"亚历山大和成吉思汗都征服了阿富汗"。
"亚历山大从未把阿富汗的土壤交给他的母亲,让她分析阿富汗人的男子气概,成吉思汗的后裔至少占阿富汗人口的30% "。
"英国-阿富汗战争不是决定性的胜利,第二次是失败,第三次是僵持,实际上是我们承认杜兰德线为国际边界"。
"没有可信的证据表明英国人从赫尔曼德省偷走了铀"。
"美国人没有直接参与毒品贸易"。
"毛拉·奥马尔是一个真正的部落勇士和家人"。
"阿富汗的边界不是由万能的上帝亲自划定的"。
这样的例子还有很多!

Canadian here.
“There is no difference between Americans and Canadians”.
“Why do you call ice hockey simply hockey?”
“How can you live there when it is so cold all the time?”
“Canada relies on the American military for its defense”.
“Nothing of any importance has been invented by Canadians”
‘You have socialized health care”

加拿大。
“美国人和加拿大人没啥区别。”。
“你们为什么把冰球叫成曲棍球?”。
“加拿大这么冷,你怎么能住在那儿?”
“加拿大国防全仰仗美国。”
“加拿大人没有发明过任何重要的东西。”
“你们社会化了医疗保健。”

Patrick Meuris
"You're from Belgium. So you speak French?" would trigger about half of the Belgians as it assumes that Belgium is a French speaking country and that all Belgians speak French.
60% of the Belgians speak Flemish (Belgian Dutch). The northern half of the country (Flanders) is exclusively Flemish, not bilingual. The southern half (Wallonia) is French speaking, as are most people in the capital Brussels.
Most Flemish people have studied French at school and can speak it fairly well, as a second language. They'll almost always try to speak French when they are in Brussels or Wallonia. But they don't like speaking French at home, in Flanders.
Throughout the 19th and 20th century, Flemish people had to fight for their right to speak their own language in Belgium, even as a majority, and have education, justice and public services in Flemish. Only since the 1960s, things have changed for the better. Since the 1970s, Belgium has gradually evolved into a federal state, with 3 highly autonomous regions and language communities. Most of the outside world though seems not to be aware of this.

“你是比利时人?那你肯定是说法语吧?”
这句话基本上已经得罪了一半的比利时人,因为你以为比利时是一个法语国家,比利时人应该都是说法语。
其实60%的比利时人说佛兰德语 (比利时荷兰语),这个国家的北半部(佛兰德斯)完全是佛兰德人,不讲双语,南部地区(瓦隆尼亚)才说法语,首都布鲁塞尔的大多数人也说法语。
大多数佛兰德人在学校里学过法语,而且说得相当好,但只是作为第二语言,当他们在布鲁塞尔或瓦隆尼亚时,他们会说法语,但是他们在佛兰德斯时通常并不喜欢说法语。
在整个19世纪和20世纪,佛兰德人都不得不为他们能在比利时说自己语言的权利而斗争,即使是作为一个多数族裔,这种情况直到20世纪60年代才有所好转,自1970年代以来,比利时逐渐发展成为一个联邦国家,有3个高度自治的地区和语言社区,不过外界的大多数人似乎并不了解这一点。
