I am Moroccan and I thought that we indeed speak loud until I met american tourists....Good God ! I was in a Tram and I could hear this group of 3 americans from 3 wagons away , I could hear every single thing they said

[@anarchclown]

Americans do have that stereotype about them to though. That they too are loud. Living in a country with many arab speaking immigrants I will say that he is right, it seems to be the language. Arabs are not as loud in swedish as they are in their home language. Americans however are very loud in english and generally don't know any other languages.

[@oliverbanes5121]

Drunk American you mean ?? Moroccan are soooo loud and they don’t even Drink. Had Moroccan Neighbours , omg ! they were so loud , I could hear their conversation from across the street .

[@yayagami3475]

@@oliverbanes5121 what would a drunk American do in a tram? 😹😹😹😹😹 I think you took that remark a little bit too personally... American is loud and that's not 'a bad thing' it's just being loud as an adjective a way to describe you know not an insult...

[@ranjanbiswas3233]

@@oliverbanes5121 Have you seen protests in USA? They are freaking loud. Are all protestors in USA drunk? I don't think so. As if you are insecure about being loud? Being loud varies person by person you know. Not everyone is loud from every place. It's a common sense.

[@SeekingTruth87]

I'm an American and I was always under the impression that Italians are loud

[@theyonlycomeoutwhenitsquiet]

When you said "Family over everything", it reminded me of what my dad said that he'd seen in his time in Arabia. He'd observed that it seemed to be true that the first loyalty was to family, the second loyalty was to tribe, and the third loyalty was to country. Maybe that's not true across all countries, but in Kuwait it certainly seemed to be.

[@kingkrispy5289]

Kuwaiti here, yep that order checks out!

[@cherylparrish3755]

In America, as a child, we had Arab neighbors with two children my age. Randa and Shareef were sweet friends and always so courteous and kind. They were not allowed to my home, but I was welcome to theirs. I always had difficulty with how seemingly angry and loud they all spoke to each other; my own background of verbal abuse caused me to cringe. One day Randa and Shareef came to my door to tell me goodbye. Randa had asked her parents to speak English when I was there so I could understand and would not be afraid. She was bruised. Their parents were offended. Randa said they did not like my American beliefs. I was only eight years old. From that day on, they were not allowed to even acknowledge me in passing. It broke my heart. Any Arab stereotypes I carry of loud and close minded comes from that experience. I have enjoyed watching your videos. Although I am late I see, I wanted to say thank you for your openness. A fresh perspective is always welcome if it comes from honesty.

"Lebanese are loud" laughing in Spain...

[@wewenang5167]

ok..who would want a wife who like to cheat, not good in doing anything, cant cook, messy and dirty, and a bad person in general? LMAO

[@apriljoy1094]

What’s cheating and not doing anything got to do with the stereotypes mentioned - unless of course you think that not being submissive means you cheat and not being domestic makes a woman useless (ie it’s her only role)

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

Arabian Peninsula includes the Levant and Iraq in it. Not many people realise this. Northern Arabia is a continuation of the Syrian Desert. Also Levant and Iraq already had Arabs before Islam, including Ghassanids, Lakhmids, Nabateans, Al-Manathera, etc.. some notable people of Levantine Arab descent during the Roman Empire reign is Philip the Arab, a Damascan native who is titled “Arab” and was a ruler of the Roman Empire at some point.

[@Ahmed-pf3lg]

And Phoenicians (which is literally a Greek term for Caananites) Are Arabs. They came from Dilmun, modern day Bahrain. Lol.

[@blankmike4613]

Hi, nice opinion drop:) well rounded show.

Omg the spicy sultry Latina stereotype 🙄 I felt like 6 inch heels and tight clothes were a must for most of my late teens and early twenties. I like comfy shoes and clothes dammit. I wanna walk without breaking an ankle and be able to breath.

[@sihamamal7840]

Let the world say what they want. We're humans, at the end of the day. Of course we're culturally devided, as groups or regions, according to what we as individuals share in common. Yet, the COVID crisis showed us that we are all the same. Sometimes i envy animals for not being obliged to belong to a certain place, région or race. Anyway, thank you bro for the video. You always rock👍.

[@ciscokidkid6580]

I am Mexican American and we are the same way.

[@isabelreinhold1476]

My mom was the same way! She was the same way! It must be a Mediterranean thing! I keep to myself like a German!

[@positronhaberdashery1583]

a lot of people are now saying that Arabic actually originated from Northern Arabia and the South lavant and it is closer to Hebrew ancient Hebrew than ever thought before But yes, there was Arab immigration and Arabic became the lengua Franca of the Semitic people of West Asia, including Egypt and mixed in North Africa with the Berbers that are an afro-Asiatic people but not considered Semitic I think that is a pretty accurate description

[@dazdncnfusd6447]

Loush... I found your channel by random, and have seriously enjoyed your content so far. I'm an Anglo-Saxon American, for background, but I've been to 28 different countries. Been halfway around the world and back going both ways. lol The one comment I'd make is that "stereotypes come from somewhere". The example I usually use is homeboys vs. hillbillies. Three teeth having hillbillies living in trailers in West Virginia, with no underpinning under the trailer, and a car on blocks in the front yard didn't make up the stereotype of a homeboy, any more than homeboys made up the stereotype of hillbillies in WVA. It is what it is. And, if you perpetuate it, you are what you are. In today's world, people are FAR too worried about offending anyone to keep it real. Thank you for keeping it real. Oh...You don't even have to leave the Dubai airport to see how crazy the money is in that area. Millions of dollars of Rolexes, in the concourse, and you don't even have to walk through a door to get into the shop. LOL That blew my mind. Later!

[@ciscokidkid6580]

I love the Arab woman they are beautiful.

[@macdeem]

so they say that the Arabic language is loud yeah it's actually the same as Italian it's so loud too

[@fantasticworld7485]

The Gulf area is very mix between Arabs, converted Jews of Madina and Najran, East Africans, Persians and Indians. You can find the influences in their food, music, cloth and features. Western Saudi in Hijaz region are even more mixed from all over the world due to Hajj specially in Makkah, Jeddah, Medina and Taif to teh point you will see some look Chinese and some look Russians!. Pure Arabs are really few and founded in some regions in Saudi, Jordan and Yemen. Overall, Arabs are connected by language and people in the region blended together and created great cultures and a beautiful language. You cannot find a pure country in the Middle East and North Africa, we are all different but somehow related by mixed marriages and fascinating cultures.

[@aizac91]

Uhhh Indians are the very least, even with the "mixture" an Arab would know his/her lineage better than anyone. To say that the Middle East is a mixture of everything is untrue, but if you say it is the middle east where let say North Africans, Europeans are derived from and different tribes that's not in the middle east today, then yes.

[@Sarbeatify]

Im disappointed that they didnt include Palestinians.

[@dancenowccdss939]

Yes you right

[@Karawoolfe]

There's so many other Arab countries that are not here

[@يومفيالتاريخ]

[@mari_000]

Yes we women like if a men cares about me. Especially we arab women. This people in this episode are mostly western born arabs because of this they are influenced with western thinking. Most local girls would think different. Love is to protect the one that you love.

[@7bibaBonita]

So heres the thing western and non western arabs are a little different in North africa and middle east Last name means so much it represents family as a whole in the west a last name is kind of just a last name. If one peraon strays off from an image it can make the whole family look bad sometimes. So when picking a wife or husband its image you want a successful huaband good wife. In the western eyes cooking and cleaning is being submisive for some when its really just traditional roll. For men being jealous & possesive there is lines where it is normal and when it becomes controlling there is different levels and ways about how men respond to desifer the differance. Jealousy isnt bad unless they turn into a sychopath but that goes for women to. Neither arab men or woman like to share what is theirs. I like to say over all we juat have strong personalitys.

[@mari_000]

Exactly i feel this episode would be better if they took locals or at least arabs that were born and raised in arab countries not western born arabs, but i think in America there are not many of them.

[@isabelreinhold1476]

Arab guys could handle me! I have a sassy ass attitude!

[@napolien1310]

In the US in 20s 30s 40s it was expected for wives to be submissive be a good cook and can take care of the house...etc and that's because the man's salary can pay for everything easily but with the world changing and women has to works that changed in America, and the same thong is happening here, I don't think any average man wouldn't like for his wife to have a work as for the cooking cleaning etc both can work on it or mostly bring a nanny to do that work.

To really know a woman's worth will melt that jealous pride into committed love. The Bible says, "He who finds a wife finds a good thing" and It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, it is the glory of kings to search it out. Proverbs 25:2 Hope you find your queen. GOD BLESS.

[@gimendoza5529]

So far these havent been stereotypes, theyve been facts about all of us. Who dont want someone for wife and or husband that cooks, cleans, is good to u and works, also about the bling...again not just arabs like to show their bling and etc. lol...As for the way they sound and the loudness...not only arabs but other races r the same too. funny how we can talk about others n forget our own stereotypes(we ALL have them) Oh wait....thats probably why we r all Chismosos/Chismosas...LMAO

[@stoneg.barrow9991]

Everyone in the Mediterranean Region is like that, not just Arabs. It probably has something to do with the regional warm and temperate climate; if one were to go about it on a speculation run theresoin.

[@mwenyamutale1513]

I feel like Arab men have a different kind of jealousy and submissiveness is very different from the rest of the world. I love how they love 💗 possess me and treat me like a jewel please 🤗 I hope I marry an Arab man😊

All men are the same if your not get hurt later

[@aizac91]

True, all men can be the same as lust, greed, and so on can be found in any men, but at times cultures and the society they grew up in can be a factor in shaping the men in that particular group.

[@ArTHuR-6000]

Seems the Same goes for women these days

[@LevePalestinaKrossaSionismen]

Femcel. (I'm a woman with 3 brothers and a husband, and I'm equally upset when it's said all women are the same; it's simply false.)

[@aizac91]

That black girl that's so shocked about not getting paid the full bill is Saharan African descendants, NOT ARAB at all. I'm a Muslim man from southeast Asia from Malaysia. Considering this channel is not SJW conform, you'd agree on what I said. Given that we know how Arabs look from the beginning and the man with the Afro (not because he has an Afro but his overall look) and shocked bill lady are not Arab Natives. Thank you. Assalamualaikum.

[@Ayat_Ali]

Neither is the Moroccan or the Iraqi but you didn’t mention them because they weren’t black. And actually the yemeni is ARAB. Arabs literally originated from Yemen. Your problem here is not about genetics it is clearly about their skin color. We are all Arabs, you as a Malaysian have no business in this.

[@aizac91]

@@Ayat_Ali excuse me; during the Prophet Muhammad lifetime, there were so many “Arabised” people being mentioned living the caliphate Arab empire. If you’re all “Arab” , then why in the Hadith the Prophet kept differentiating Arab and “Arabised” people? And no, get your head out of your American backside; this isn’t about “skin colour”; there are Arabs who are dark complexion but dark complexion Arabs does not equal to being of Sub-African phenotype. But if the person is very sub-Afro phenotype facial appearance; then they’re “Arabised” not Arab ethnically/genetically. You’re just upset for no reason.

[@Ayat_Ali]

@@aizac91 first off, im not American. Second off, you said the Yemeni was not Arab, however Yemen has been proven to be the origin of Arabs. Iraqis and Moroccans are not Arabs either yet you didn’t comment on them, and I think we both know why that is.

[@aizac91]

@@Ayat_Ali I didn’t say Iraqis or Moroccan are Arabs??? Did you read properly first of all, and I didn’t say Yemeni aren’t Arabs, my point was Ethiopians who are mixed looking are not ethnically Arabs. Why are you bringing up Yemenis out of the blue??

[@Ayat_Ali]

@@aizac91 you literally said the man with the Afro wasn’t arab. He is Yemeni, and that’s why I brought up Yemen. Have you been paying any attention to the video at all? Regardless, why are you as a non-Arab so inclined on commenting who is or isn’t genetically Arab?
