British. No idea how we have a reputation for politeness; borderline abusive piss-taking is standard between mates, as is referring to each other as cunts. Groups of lads, and particularly middle-aged pub goers, can often be lairy, loud, obnoxious, aggressive louts.
It’s baffling. Though in fairness, this stereotype exists mainly in the US. Countries we can get to via EasyJet or RyanAir have probably long been disavowed of this impression.
It’s from Americans who haven’t interacted with any British people, but are really attached to the idea that colonialism was a “civilizing” mission. You guys must be polite, only a population of saints would have those centuries of pure charity on their record.

To be fair, when a Brit doesnt know you, they are very polite. At least from my experience
Effectively, I witnessed a bashing just outside of Anfield. And it wasn’t even a match day
I say Brits in Dam and now I understand everything.
