On the south side of the Ottawa river, which separates Quebec and Ontario

Yep, I live near Ottawa. Sometimes go to Quebec.

Americans often get portrayed as mean and dumb but in reality most Americans are really nice and down to earth

[@earthbasics10]

Yea true.

[@olivermoore5938]

[@BruhTNT4258]

American aren’t dumb, their prides just bigger than their brain and too ignorant of the real world. Americans are really nice people, but America certainly is not on the “NICE” country list.

From my experience the mean and dumb types are democrat voters.

[@matthewthomasvallejos2525]

As a linguists enjoyer this is what I have to explain most to people. It is actually a misconception that the USA's name is the United States. And people that call them Statians is a very big misconception. 'United States of ' is a Title the name of the country is America it just happens to be the name of two continents as well. This misconception comes from how continents are taught in the Latin world continents are taught as one continent as America, in the Anglo world it is taught as two continents North and South America. So people in the United States are still Americans and people who live in North and South America are Americans as well. In the Romantic Languages they are also just Americans, and in English the people of the United States are Americans, people from North America are North Americans, and people from South America are South Americans. If we were to call countries by their titles we would be calling British people Kingdomers, Japanese something along the line as Imperials, and South Koreans, Republicans etcm... America is the name of the Country and both continents I know our brains don't like the organization having America in America but that is 100% why Statian doesn't catch on. It is like New Yorkers, New York City they are called New Yorkers, and New York State they are New Yorkers. Yes I am aware Mexicans who live in Mexico City are not called Mexicans but Capitalinos but that a colloquialism that they signed into law and again is common in the spanish language to do so. There are languages that use Derivatives for the United States that is where you get things like Americano, Amerikaners, America-Jin and Americain again mainly Romantic Languages. A few others use derivates but a ton of other languages just refer as American as well. And any farther derivates are nonce terms of occasionalism. No alternative exists in English and many languages especially culturally Anglo which did at one point dominate 1/4th of the planet. Maybe in 100 years it will catch and break from it's niche term status but as of now their English term is correctly American. This video needs to be fact checked as well because there is a Wikipedia article with all this information easily accessible. Oh and just because my brain caught this Ottawa isn't in Quebec it borders Quebec and it is Ontario.

[@marcs347]

Pls just be quiet

[@RubbertDucky]

He brings up good points though. Why force english to change how they handle just because another language handles it differently? If it was the other way around and an English speaker was telling another language how to handle something in another language it would be frowned upon. There seems to be no confusion in English on who is who. Seems to me it is only adopt English as a second language get confused. The only people I ever see get mad at this is Latin Americans whose second language is English.

[@WarwonTroom]

As a Canadian let me weigh in. There is no confusion when we say American we know you are referring to the United States. He is 100% right as a continent denomnym we refer to ourselves as North Americans. I've heard the imperialism argument but it holds no water because this has been an issue longer than The USA has been a country.

here in the states our country has an OVERWHELMING NUMBER OF FLAGS, so if your coming to towanda and going to the towanda-east towanda bridge, be prepared for an estimated amount of 15 flags on the bridge alone (and a monument idk)

[@roguerodriguez8215]

Wish you would have mention at least one stereotype from one of the latin islands of the Caribbean Cuba, The dominican Republic, or Puerto Rico

[@kyrgyzstaniscool]

Now, correct me if I am wrong but he did say he wasn't talking about one country in particular, yes?

[@kyrgyzstaniscool]

Also, what stereotypes are there regarding these countries?

[@wasserkolors1552]

Ottawa is in Ontario. While some people do speak French, most speak English. There is also a vibrant Chinese community.

[@notdamienn]

0:42 incorrect. Ottawa is the capital of Canada BUT it’s in Ontario’s borders.

[@scottbrockman5883]

From an episode of the TV show "2 and a Half men" "Oh, try Canada. Lights oot". Lights oot, what? Lights oot, 'eh. Correct translation "Oh, try Canada. Lights oot, 'eh." Just a quote and a suggestion. Also Canada borders the USA and Denmark, though I haven't known about that, the other state that borders Canada is Alaska, though.

To answer the United States question about being patriotic, yes and no, yes being we take our freedom seriously so much so we have a whole holiday for it that being July 4th the no being we don’t always talk about patriotism, even if the country as a whole is very patriotic we don’t focus on that in fact major cities like New York commonly celebrate Chinese new year

[@Idunnohowabout7364]

As an American I’ve never seen an American decide on their own to be patriotic the only times I’ve seen Patriotic Americans is if we’re forced to like my school did a play about the American Revolution and we were forced to act super patriotic and in the area near my house I could only find one US Flag so if anything were probably one of the least patriotic also there are Americans that don’t even know about the USA in a KZbin short an American was asked to name any country and they named two states and that person struggled just to find two state names that person probably has below an F- in Geography.

Chiming in from the US here what’s the say some parts of the United States of America are more patriarch than others and doesn’t just very from state to state, but also different part of the each state I can’t even very big train homes in the same city and just because a family or couple or individual basically any given household might consider that sells patriotic. They can show it in different ways, high for one as a household of one and patriotic alleys. I can send myself a picture, Eric, but you don’t seem checking out my apartment in red white and blue and going super crazy but I am patriotic says my paternal grandfather served in the Korean War as a mechanic out in Germany, I have some of her suspect for all our men and women who have served both past present and future, and I consider myself patriotic, but I don’t go that far like those of you who might be from all countries might think as Americans do and then there’s people who may not have a single ancestor who have ever surgery anything but go as crazy as can be with the patriotic themes, especially during our Independence Day
