its ironic that they are complaining about americans stereotyping them WHILE stereotyping americans. also as a non-american, it is bizarre that europeans think americans not being able to name European countries is weird. mate US is as big as Europe. can YOU name even ten states or where they are? People dont know much about africa or even asia in europe either.

[@Manila-7]

The thing is that usually (as we can also see from this video) the stereotypes we have about the US are true. While the ones you have about European countries are 50-50 because some of them you get them from the people who immigrated to the US 50yrs ago, so they are no longer true. For example the stereotypes that you have in the US about my country (Italy), 90% of them were true maybe 30 or 40yrs ago and they are no longer. At least that's what me and some people that I know from other parts of Europe have experienced.

[@anndeecosita3586]

I think most Americans can name a country in Europe because most of us are of European descent. My school and most schools made you read a lot of English literature like Dickens and Shakespeare and so one so at the very least people would know England. We generally study WWI, WWII, and the French Revolution. I suspect very little is taught about Africa or Asia anywhere in Europe, USA or Australia because it’s dominated by white people. As a POC I feel like the Europeans in this video are speaking from a place of privilege even if they don’t realize it.

So tired of the stereotypes . I am probably an outlier, but (1) I knew where all the countries in the world were, and most of their capitals, shortly after I got my first world atlas, at age 10. (2) Americans cook at home most of the time and usually only eat at fast food places for convenience, like when they are traveling or to save money. (3) Most places in the United States are quite safe -- the exception being some low-income, high-crime areas in the cities. Even then, most places in those cities are fine. (4) Americans are raised to be civil to people they meet and do this regardless of whether or not they are "happy all the time" -- it's just considered polite. (5) The U.S. is about on par in terms of consumer tech with other developed nations I have been to. So, I find the stereotypes about the U.S. are about as accurate and informative as "Japanese all bow incessantly" or "Germans wear lederhosen and eat sausages at every meal." In other words -- not very accurate or informative.

As an American, In the 90s and early 2000s I was tought a lot of history and geography so back then America was ahead in knowing a lot about other places or curious about learning more. However schools nowadays concentrate in endoctrinating stupidity. instead of useful things that kids and teens need to learn in life.

[@EssenceOfHope]

Exactly! I grew up in the 90s and graduated HS in 2001. I grew up learning about history and government of other countries, as well as geography. I worked in local news for 7 years and worked with many school districts and saw so many advancements in education, and just more that is offered to students, so I'm not exactly sure why so many lack what I would considered pretty basic knowledge of world history and geography. I also think that foreigners think of America as WASP, whereas America is made up of so many ethnic/cultural groups, and if you come from a family who immigrated to the US only a few generations ago they'd know about other countries. Heck, anyone who's ever visited New Orleans can see the influence of other cultures/countries everywhere they go.

Here is my opinion on these stereotypes. 1) I know geography pretty well and most people I know do too. 2) Fast food and convenience food, in general, are definitely a problem, but I mostly eat at home and many people do too. 3) I live in Missouri and I have a conceal and carry. I've never shot anyone and I don't worry about my children being killed in school. With that said I do think that guns are way to accessible and we need better gun laws. I do get irritated when people say that the US is unsafe. I live in Southwest Missouri and trust me, no one is going to hurt you. There are dangerous areas and safe areas like every country on the face of the earth. The Media is a big part of why that mass shooting narrative gets spread. Don't get me wrong, it does happen and we need to do more as a country but the US is often portrayed as if you will get off the plane and immediately get shot. It's not the wild west. 4) I am a very outgoing talkative person but my wife is very shy and awkward around strangers. I would say that our outgoing nature is do to our curiosity and how we are raised. I was taught to be polite and respectful and part of that is talking to others. Most of the people I know are from the South and the Midwest. Hospitality is ingrained in us from a young age. I can't speak for the rest of the country but that mentality certainly holds true for the South and Midwest. 5) I really want the Japanese toilets in the US. I would say we are on par with the major economies of the world in our tech access and expertise. I would say countries like Japan and Korea seem to be ahead of us in the use of high tech especially in daily life. Overall I liked this video. My only real complaint is about the portrayal of the US in regards to gun violence. As with most things, it is a nuanced issue and oversimplification does no one any good.

Unfortunately our country loves to poison us with crap food and ingredients. It’s so expensive to eat healthy sometimes people almost have no choice. So a lot of cases it’s not necessarily that they love junk food and crap quality food. It’s just the only affordable option. Oh and most Americans are fascinated and interested in other countries and cultures bc we aren’t really taught to much in school. That’s why we will talk ya ear off like crazy. lol. But on the other hand you have to remember America is sooooo diverse and has so many cultures and ethnicities that we kind of put able to learn from that as well. Personally I took it upon myself to learn about the world and history. And yes the healthcare is a pain. It’s so expensive. I have more stories than I could count of people refusing to get help for something they should bc they can’t afford it. Myself including. It’s horrible.

I’m an American who works in an office building and we talk a lot in the elevator. I had a conversation with a guy stranger this morning during breakfast who sat next to me at diner bar stool. We talked about our families, places we’ve lived, places we’ve visited. I don’t feel unsafe in the USA. I frequently make cross country drives often alone. I feel more unsafe in the foreign countries I go to because a lot of muggers love to target tourists.

[@RecklawTheAmazing]

As with anything, I feel like a lot of it is context. I don't feel unsafe in my home or in my car, but there's plenty of places in my city where I wouldn't walk at night. Generally, Europe has lower rates of violent crime, but things like pickpocketing are more common

I'm not sure where the idea that Americans' don't learn about geography comes from. I didn't go to the best high school when I was a kid and we still took multiple years of world history and geography. The whole discussion about Australian gun violence is also inaccurate as the country (and most other western nations in aggregate) had already been experiencing falls in gun violence in years prior without increases in restrictions on weapons. If Australia had 0 "mass shootings" and then had one and no more after, that isn't necessarily an indication that gun control worked for the country.

The concept of freedom would depend per personal experience. According to my French-Algerian friend the French police can easily stop him on the street and ask for his residence papers whereas in the US, this violates certain human rights. He could also freely enter a bar or night club in America without being questioned for being Arab-looking. My French-Moroccan friend considers the wide spaces in America as "freedom." Me personally I would say there is more freedom in Europe; certain things that might be considered illegal in the US are perfectly legal in Europe. No need to elaborate. 😄
