Google is king when it comes to auto-complete...well, actually it's the people that actually search for those queries so google is just showing the results. It's something like "don't shoot the messenger"

I'll give this a 5 star , you're 99% correct with the diagram with minor sit-backs. Every rule has it's exception.

I found for:

Germans: smart - tall - hot - rude - efficient - arrogant

Americans: fat - stupid - ignorant - racist

Blacks: violent - loud - racist - lazy

French: rude - skinny - arrogant - thin - healthy

British: ugly - rude - arrogant - miserable

English: ugly - rude - arrogant - cold

Dutch: tall - rude - cheap

Italians: racist - loud - cocky - dark

Spanish: racist

Swedes: tall - hot - stupid - blonde

Russians: rude - strong - violent

Asians: smart - ugly - thin - short

Australians: tall - hot - rude - racist

Africans: ugly - dark - stupid - violent

Latinos: loud - attractive - pretty

Chinese: thin - rich - small - rude - cruel

Japanese: weird - healthy - skinny - smart

Vietnamese: rude - smart

Arabs: Rich - Hot - Violent - Rude

Canadians: nice - stupid - funny - weird

I appears that the web is run by Canadians: everyone else is either rude, violent or racist

So Germans would be
- rude
- mean
- tall
- smart
- hot
and the only religious group with which they have anything in common would be Jews?
Also, the only other nationality for which this test bears any results are Americans and Mexicans. Shows you that Germans are subject to severe prejudice :-)
