Fan Casting Balkan Bastard in Sort by Tropes

In fiction, people from Southeastern Europe, such as Albania, Bulgaria, Romania and the ex-Yugoslav countries, tend to be bloodthirsty gangsters, mercenaries, and/or war criminals. If they aren't any of those things, they'll be uncouth, rude, slovenly, thieving and/or corrupt. They'll be absolutely ruthless, pick fights with anyone who looks at them funny, revel in chaos, and have no qualms about massacring innocent civilians. While Greece is also a part of the region, the Greeks are usually the exception to this stereotype, despite their long history of warfare.
