Anti-Icelandic sentiment

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

“Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against Icelanders, in fact some of my best friends are from Iceland, but I think they have only themselves to blame for this anti-Icelandic sentiment.”

~ Oscar Wilde on Anti-Icelandic sentiment

“Don't forget that most wars have been started by people who claim they've found Cod.”

~ Richard Dawkins on Iceland

Flag burning is a common manifestation of Anti-Icelandic sentiment

Anti-Icelandic sentiment is opposition or hostility toward the government, culture, or people of Iceland. Anti-Islandic sentiment is found in every country including Iceland itself.

For those without comedic tastes, the so-called experts at Wikipedia have an article about Anti-Icelandic sentiment.

[edit] Possible causes

There are several theories that try to explain the existence of anti-Icelandic behaviour:

• Foreign policy. Iceland is known never to invade or coup other countries, or criticizing or lecturing foreign governments. This minding-their-own-business is considered stand-offish by some and extremely arrogant by many.
• Some have pointed out that the shape of Iceland, resembling a lobster that has been ran over by a van, looks ridiculous. Also Swedes tend to believe that the shape of their country has caused penis envy amongst Icelanders.
• Some Icelandic nationalists have pointed out that anti-Icelandic sentiments may be caused by jealousy. Other countries allegedly envy Iceland's near-freezing point climate, and their habit of eating of fermented whale organs.
• The use of ð and þ in the Icelandic alphabet have caused irritation amongst people who export computer keyboards to Iceland.
• Failure to join the EU or ratify the Hague conventions.
• Environmental organizations have accused the Icelandic government of not doing enough against the emission of poisonous greenhouse gasses from the country's volcanoes.
• Some groups find fault with Iceland's policy of immedietly feeding all non-white visitors to their cod. Everyone knows that non-whites are unhealthy and often carry disease.

[edit] Anti-Icelandic condiments

Anti-Icelandic sentiments are not to be confused with Anti-Islandic condiments, although the two things are related. Anti-Icelandic condiments are condiments that are called 'diametrically opposed to everything Iceland stands for' by Icelandic ultranationalists, who advice that 'true Icelanders don't eat mayonnaise or mustard'. Ketchup however is considered fair game.
