Those stereotypes could be used for many Caribbean countries, but it's definitely a uniquely Suriname viewpoint on these stereotypes. I like the expression about the crab mentality too. I didn't know the stereotypes of where I was from until I moved to Colorado, and I realized everyone automatically assumed I'm better at manual labor than anyone from Colorado.
I was raised on a popcorn farm in Indiana, so actually this was true in my case. I quickly realized I could get any landscaping or construction job just based off of where I was born. Stereotypes helped me in that case.
