Alternate National Stereotypes?

What would be the possible stereotypes of people from certain nations given these AH worlds:

1. CSA "victory"
2. French Revolution-less world
3. Surviving Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire
 
For the CSA one, I can see the negative stereotypes of Americans being largely transferred to them. Gun-toting, bible thumping hypocrites being the general view of Confederate citizens, with a thick overlay of Noveau Riche - I can see that being how the planters would be viewed in European circles.

About the "yankees", of being bad at warfare, unlike the southeners.
The french as being backward, absolutist, "spanish like" people.

No French Revolution wouldn't change the French stereotype all that much. In 1789 the French were already known as 1) supreme in culture and cuisine, with the arrogance to match, and 2) rowdy and prone to rebellion, which to my mind defines their modern stereotype just as well as it did their stereotype in 1789. Certainly the details would change, the Revolution got rid of the idea of France being a land of blatant inequality, excessive frivolity/decoration/foppishness etc of the ruling classes, byzantine and non-standardised modes of governance, but I think the fundamentals of the stereotype were already there.
 
Without the French Revolution, the British could be seen as extreme liberals with no respect for history or tradition.
 
IN CSA victory, Un ion whould be seen as Liberal Yankes, very intellectual and foucused on a strongh government, CSA would be seen as the opposite.

It’s alternate history comedy routines!

“What is the DEAL with Byzantines? You know what I mean? Yeah. They’re like white people, right? But they’re NOT! They’re, like, the European Mexicans, man! I mean, why are they so POOR? C’mon!”
AHAHAHA
“Is anybody else wondering why they’re still here? Like, “Hey, wait, why are there all these ancient Romans in my yard?” Seriously, Byzantines, go hump children and get AIDS.”
AHAHAHAHA
“Awww, you know I’m just playin witchu, Byzantines.”
ahahahahahahaha
“So, a Byzantine walks into a bar. He says, Bartender, I can’t decide whether I want to kill greedy Jews. Bartender says, sorry, can’t help you. Another Byzantine walks into the bar, he says, Bartender, I can’t decide whether I want to kill ugly Russians. The bartender can’t help him either. A third Byzantine walks into the bar. “Bartender, I can’t decide whether I want to kill prissy homosexuals.” The bartender still can’t help him. Then Hitler walks into the bar.”
ahahahahahah
“He says, "Bartender, I want to kill greedy Jews, ugly Russians, and prissy homosexuals, but I just can’t seem to find any. Can you help me?” The bartender says, “Sure! There’s some Byzantines right over there.”

“Amazing!” says Hitler. “It is three-for-one deal!”

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

The one about the Papal Legate who called the Roman Empire Greek will be priceless. Italians are going to be tactless, vainglorious buffoons with massive delusions of grandeur. Venetians... well, best not to mention Venetians.
