What Do You Think About Latvians?

Not so long ago I've stumbled upon a YouTube video, in which several foreigners in Estonia are questioned about what do they think about Latvians. Needless to say, I was pretty surprised when two of the questioned people stated, that we have six toes. Well - I'm not denying anything here. I mean - there's always a chance that some of us walk around with six toes, unknown to others, but I'm sure, that the majority of Latvians have normal feet.
