[@Chocomunchie]

+kaguth Every normal civilian has a horrible sense of geography. Why does everyone single out America?

[@kaguth]

Because of the Tonight show segment when it was still Jay Leno called JayWalking, but I agree with you. If you interview people on the street in any country you will get similar results.

[@IRON1I7]

Taun-Chi Gaming Guess what, I'm not a native english speaker. I was born and raised in another cultural environment, not even a germanic type of language, from a pure linguistical point of view. But english is necessary and so I was educated and now I can express myself quite properly, and I can distinguish so many various english accents. You gotta know english in this world. Japan is definitely failing in this regard. They do not know how to speak english, and hearing a thick british accent and calling it SPANISH! gives you the relevance of the problem.

[@soniam603]

Maybe now when she's abroad, she only hangs out with Brittish, Australian and American people? I'm Swedish and I have an accent of course since my first language isn't English, but it changes when I speak to someone who speaks English fluently for a long time. Maybe it's the same thing for those who speak English as a first language but are exposed to different kinds of dialects.

[@-vee-7009]

Sonia M Yup this happens alot actually, my cousin who moved to Australia about 9 years ago had a full Australian accent in about 2-3 years haha it was pretty funny hearing the change.

I have an idea for a follow up on this video: KZbinrs that speak english non-natively. Germans, Sweeds, Italians, Brazilians, Dutchmen, Frenchmen, Russians. Or something else: Have a geographic map without borders or names on it and tell them to point out some countries they might know, but probably can't locate, like Somalia, Quatar, Egypt (assuming they didn't watch Jojo), Netherlands, Portugal, Iceland, Cuba, Germany.

[@galgar5660]

@Русс град Every country is "mixed", there isn't a single person who descend from an ancestry of one single ethnicity.

[@galgar5660]

@Русс град I guess you are slavic. Your people came from the area near the Volga river and expandend in the rest of Europe, mixing with the local original population, so yes, you are mixed. British people are a mix of neolithic people, Celts, Romans and Germanic people who came from northern Germany. We Italians are indeed mixed, but arabs( but in reality the arabs in Sicily were islamized berbers from maghreb) or germanic peoples were a little population and they didn't affect so much italian genetics. The great part of italians descend from paleolithic europeans, population from the middle east(who started neolithic age in Europe) and indo europeans (italic peoples, greeks and celts)

[@amanb8698]

Russia has European looking people and East Asian and Central Asian looking people. And mixes in between.

[@tayirnull1567]

Look at the Caucasian peoples, who live in the southern part of Russia called the Caucasus (Chechens, Dagestanis, Avars), they are one of the whitest people on Earth, along with the Irish and Scots. I bet an average Japanese has never seen them before.

***** there are countries that are more important than others, deal with it

[@TwitchCronos100]

***** No it's not lol, as a european who is way further away from Australia than Japan we learned that shit in like middle school. Australia is almost a whole continent by itself, everybody learned that shti in school. I'm pretty sure a vast majority of european people could tell you that they speak English in Australia. And what's this about patriotism? I'm European, not Australian so I don't know what you're talking about, it's just common geographical knowledge that everyone learns in compulsary eduation. (in first world countries at least), saying that knowing the language of Australia is the same as knowing the language for example Angola is incredibly ignorant. Also, any person with a compulsary education and common sense would most likely know the languages spoken in the top 15 economically biggest countries.

[@skykid]

I honestly had no idea English was the official language of Singapore o:

[@junjie2416]

[@tsuss2205]

[@Out1sSaidAsOat]

Tsuss each race has they're own mother tongue language too but English is still Singapore's first language.

[@junjie2416]

Every Singaporean undergoes dual language which are English and their mother tongue. English are needed for every single thing like getting promoted to the next level of education while the mother tongue are never a requirement and are usually stops after leaving Secondary School/High School.

Geography is probably one of the most diverse studies in the world as it covers sciences like geology, glaciology, economical studies, ecology and many more. I've studied a lot of geography in school because I was in a class that specialised economy, needless to say, most of our lessons were about economy, agriculture, marketing and ecology in our own country, that alone took us more than 2 years.

[@laevateinx]

So funny when they say EEEeeeee when they're surprised!!!

[@SeageSpeaks]

Its interesting that they all guessed based on appearance/color first. Actually...most of them, it seemed like they didnt listen to the accents at all. Was it a bit loud there and hard for them to hear, or is it just natural for japanese to guess based on appearance first or only? I love how the girl was from canada because of her white skin. Someone needs to tell her that Canada is one of the most multicultural countries on earth. It would make more sense to make that stereotype about like...poland, lol.

[@khaoulabenhamida7424]

They do judge base on appearance. Some Japan borned and raised get always mistaken for non Japanese speakers just because of the way they look 🙂

[@Roxas90250]

+Seage Speaks There's also the fact that it's hard to differentiate peoples' accents when they're talking in a completely different language. It's much easier in general to guess this kind of stuff by appearance in those cases.

Thanks for all these great videos, Yuta. I'd love to see interviews about black companies, and situations where "warikomi" is ok. I keep hearing that it's bad and Japanese people don't do it, but it happens all the time, especially in Tokyo train stations. I confess I didn't pick up on the New Zealander in this video, despite being a New Zealander myself. I've heard it's really difficult for Japanese (and probably other) people who don't speak English well to pick up on accents, so it makes sense that they were guessing from appearance.

this is very interesting! i always enjoy your videos. i would be curious to visit an asian country to see where people think im from..based on appearance. my picture doesnt show it very well but alot of americans think im part asian. but asians dont usually think that. im actually heavy native american, in the summer months my skin gets alot darker and i always have kinda narrow eyes. it would be interesting, because i feel like alot of non-americans are not very familiar with native american features haha

[@FirstnameLastname-rm7bm]

+TheCheeto420 It's always harder than you'd expect to tell the race of people from different races. There was this person who was half asian and half white once, I thought she was full white but a white kid thought she was full asian

[@TheCheeto420]

haha i believe it! its always funny to see it. like the hollywood joke "all asians look the same!" then "no, all white people look the same!" :P

[@OLGMC]

Sees a white beach... "Hawaii !?"

[@MichaelVII_]

OLGMC I also laughed because they thought Hawaii was a country XD

[@revaholic]

All you commenters who are like, I can do better! Well I would hope so. Since you are using English, your experience with the language means you would can discern accents much easily

[@luqhakim5711]

aww yeah Double Decker!! those snacks are awesome! i used to buy them a lot when I was a kid

[@Teech_]

Very interesting video...I just think they generally don't know although it should be easy to tell some of these accents apart.

[@rainbowbecca3340]

Interesting! I got all of then right except for the last one!

[@rainbowbecca3340]

*them

+Rainbow Becca when*

[@Luminalis]

"Because she has white skin" was the reasoning for being russian.... I guess that's what happens in a homogenous country, but still... the entire west (exaggerating) has white skin x_x

[@tayirnull1567]

Russia has a lot of ethnic groups, not just ethnic Russians who tend to be fair skinned on average. You have Iranic dark skinned people from the Caucasus, East/Central Asian looking people as you head East of Russia near Kazakhstan and Mongolia.

[@alexiscrump982]

Hey Yuta! What about doing a video about how Japanese view being friends with foreigners? or how many of them have foreign friends or want them. Or something like that, not just the dating aspect

[@alessss93]

Your videos are so interesting :D

[@diqyade]

is thay double decker's snack? 懐かしいな

[@hanaika7917]

+Diq＠ディック yup.. it is double decker's snack

[@lilatania8327]

They actually have the exact same eyes !! They look like sister/brother

[@TheS00th]

+CasualGuy60 actually, it's 可愛くてきれいですね

[@TheS00th]

+Crashandburn999 kute is used to connect 2 or more adjectives together. It's an "and" for adjectives.

[@CasualGuy60]

I've only learnt hiragana and basic Japanese, so forgive the way I type :\

[@TheS00th]

+CasualGuy60 no worries, just thought I'd like to tell you about it. Made the same mistake when I first started learning Japanese too.

[@lilatania8327]

+CasualGuy60 はい、とても可愛いです!

[@pendragnx]

that was great, thanks for sharing.. everyone seemed to have a fun time guessing ^_^

[@rodri1679]

quite interesting, never seen a video covering this question

[@stvltiloqvent]

huh, interesting how they don't seem to have a sense of ethnic differences around the world. wonder if it's just the case of those few interviewees or if that's the mindset for most Japanese people...... that they just don't care about the wider world much... -yeah okay i may be studying abroad but even before then, in the 18 years i grew up in Hong Kong, because I've hung around English language sites so much, I always had a general understanding of most first world countries...-

[@stvltiloqvent]

***** haha. i feel like that seems to be a trend for most first world superpowers..... especially the ones with large territories. because their own country is already so massive in size and influence, there's little reason for them to learn about the world outside. Europe is only a different case because of the union and close borders i suppose :P

[@aliceinbooklander]

I am happy someone mentioned Indonesia because I thought no one knows Indonesia lmao

[@geraldzano142]

And I'm also happy you got that satisfaction LOOOL XD

[@thatdutchguy2882]

Light hearted and fun,...with Jazz hands Yuta ?!

[@TheDecatonkeil]

I don't even know how you could do it as a video, but it would be cool to see a video on how Japanese people see media from other countries. I know that Hollywood is going to come out a lot, but I think it would be cool to see Japanese people who are as interested in western animation and comic, for example, as westerners are in anime and manga. I know that this is very common among artists: Katsuhiro Otomo was very into European comics, and that kinda shows in his works (and adaptations)... but I don't know if it is among everyday Japanese people. Now where could you find people who have something to say about something so niche? I don't know, I suppose it would be difficult. Maybe specialised libraries or conventions, although I don't know if there are conventions of that kind in Japan.

[@TheDecatonkeil]

+Michał Antoni Zienkiewicz's Freecks Show Not exacly what I meant, but why not? That could also be interesting, but it would be a bit different, like a React show. I mean more asking them about what they think, if they're interested... As I say, it's something very niche, and if Yuta doesn't choose the place carefully to get the kind of answers that he would need, most everyone would answer that they don't have any particular interest. I don't even know if it's possible to do it! XD

[@Earle96]

2:50 "what do they speak in Australia?" woot

[@Earle96]

***** I love Japan but my god some people are so ignorant ahahahaha

[@laharl2k]

+Earle96 australianese maybe? lol

[@Earle96]

***** I know this... I am an American after all, the land of ignorance.

[@Earle96]

***** Honestly it depends on where you live, the US is huge.

[@crallen33]

+Earle96 My heart broke when she said that :(

[@anakngbayan16]

0:48 I would come to Japan just to see those 2 chicks...

[@israelsavin1052]

[@jhong358]
