What's surprising is the word "ancestry" and saying you look Spanish. Mostly people say "Where are you from?" and expect the same answer. And saying "You look Spanish" can sound derogatory because of how some Americans tend to view Latin Americans as poor and uneducated. The same person saying both of those suggest they're unusually obsessed with race, more than typical Americans.

@@janjackson7732 You're very kind! Thank you!

@@amandabyrd9349 I'm not going to lie, it was one of the most left field questions I've ever been asked. The other one that left me dumbstruck was I tried to book a room in a hotel only for the desk clerk to tell me: "Sorry, but you don't look gay". There was nothing to indicate that the hotel was gay only and it wasn't in a "gay" part of town. I can only assume that the clerk was making a weird joke. But I walked next door to the next hotel and got a room, forever wondering quite what the precious clerk had meant. Fair enough, I'm not gay, but I'll wonder until the day I die what he expected his clientele to be wearing or if it is actually possible to look "gay". Why does this stuff happen to me?

You're using the temperature as an excuse. It was hot in the '40s and '50s, too, and men didn't dress the way you do. Admit it, you're just a hick.

It was hot in the past too and they didn't have air conditioning, you're just trashy.

That sounds sensible to me! Especially with the humidity.

I did that once. Then I tuned 2.

I wear shorts all year long. I also wear my PJs outside to walk the dog; whether it's daylight or dark. And, now y'all keep this a secret, sometimes I wear a bra, sometimes I don't!!! 🤫🤫🤫 Momma'd whoop me if she knew that part. Nothing wrong with running around in shorts and a t-shirt. As long as you aren't going to funerals and weddings like that I see nothing wrong with it. Well, maybe not for work either, depending on your job. In the humid south, we believe in comfort. High five b-ball shorts guy!!!

lol yeah when i'm paying for something at a store i always throw in a " thanks, have a good one " before leaving, It feels wrong without doing so.

As an American, I kind of doubt that most Americans really mean rote phrases like "Have a nice day" and "How are you?" Those phrases can be translated as "I don't want to lose my job," because you largely hear them from retail workers. I remember reading something that was written by someone who had recently moved here from another country (I can't remember where, this was ages ago that I read this) and she marveled at how this one cashier kept asking her how she was every time she came to that store. Then her dog got sick, and when this cashier asked her how she was that day, she said, "I'm a little sad today," and the cashier replied, "Great! Have a nice day!" Either the cashier genuinely misheard or else that response was supposed to mean, "This information that you're giving me about your emotional state is a little too heavy for a routine exchange between strangers." But that anecdote really resonated me to the point that I remember the basic plot, if not all of the details, all of these years later, because it reinforced my experience of what these rote phrases mean in America. I've never worked retail, but I use these rote phrases when they feel called for and when I mean them at least a little bit--or at least when I don't *not* mean them. I probably wouldn't be capable of forming my lips around the words if I was angry at someone.

Here in America people are very patriotic and they also say have a good day and God bless you very often. That is in the South where I live but I can't say so much for the people living up north because the people I did meet up there for two years in Pennsylvania were not as friendly until you got to know them. They were not the God bless you type of people. If you hear some Southern woman say " well bless your heart!" They are being sarcastic and it is time to run for your life. 😂😂 the people out west are different. The thing I've noticed about the south in the Southeast says that the people are definitely super friendly. I find the people out in the Midwest and especially in Oklahoma very friendly as well.

Montre' Louise Bohon-Harris can’t say “God bless you” up North. Might get sued by the local Atheist club.

To listen to a style of humor, might listen to the older radio broadcasts of the Prairie Home Companion from the state of Minnesota.

Most people ignore the different immigration waves. The later Italian crossings are always ignored, until people remember that all the brutal factory jobs in the late 19th century were filled with Italian, Poles, and Russian immigrants.

Yes, there a lot of people (esp. on the East coast) of Italian/Polish/Russian or just generally Eastern European ancestry. I’m one of them!!! Just look at how many surnames are E. European!

Same. I can trace my ancestry through both parents to pre revolutionary war colonies. I know I've got ancestors from England, Germany, and Switzerland for sure and I suspect you could find another dozen countries in my family tree. The only heritage that makes sense for me to claim is "American" as the most recent foreign born ancestor came over more than a century ago

I read once that in terms of numbers, the top 3 immigrant groups are #1 German, #2 Polish, and #3 Italian. However some Germans go back 10 generations or more and may not be aware of their ancestry. H Basinhe: This info was from a book published in the mid 40's. The groups you list are from more recent times. In the 1800's and up to the mid 1900's, very few Hispanic, Asian, or African immigrants came here, the vast majority were from Europe. However, in the 1970's this started to change.

I never actually took conscious note of it, but what you said about your thoughts when buying clothes is so true! I obviously have the "really cold/hot weather" sections of my wardrobe, but for the most part I evaluate it for if I can wear it during the transitional periods of the seasons or if it can layer with other clothes I own to get more use from it.

Pennsylvanian here... I totally relate. I switch out my wardrobe twice a year for winter. The rest of the year, everything else is worn for the rest of the year. I break out winter wardrobe half way through fall and put it away the first time the temp hits 70 in the spring time.

@James Williams - You only THINK you have winter in central Texas. Here in iowa we can have 70 degree swings in temperature over a 24 hour period. We range from 110 in the summer to -40 in the winter. That's not with a heat or cold index.

Did you miss where Lawrence made a statement at the beginning that not all Americans are the same - and neither are all Brits? Yes, there are "a few" Americans who CAN do self deprecating humour. (I am not a Brit, despite the U in humour, I am a German, for me humour is a theoretical concept, and I learned BE [British English] at school) But he is also not completely wrong, when he says that Americans (mainly in the midwest) are a little too prudish for toilet humour. Of course, being a Brit he could never say that as bluntly as I can, being a rude German. Yes, some Americans are great comedians - and that includes taking themselves not too seriously! But some are not, some are as humo[u]rfree as their German ancestors.

@@rooooooby Nah, it was going on long before that. My DNA is French, there is no German. Yet living on the border g-grandmother was a French citizen at one point and spoke German. No French. It's an interesting study if you go back before 1900 "A traveler viewing Alsace today for the first time would never suspect the difficult and stormy past which has plagued this beautiful little country. The fertile plains, the vineyards, and the Vosges mountains on the French side of the Rhine are mirrored on the German side of the valley, extending to the mountains of the Black Forest. The cultures of these two great civilizations, too, mingle here, enrich and reflect each other. Language is a perfect example of this junction OI cultures. Most ihhabitants are at least bilingual, speaking both the local dialect, which is of Germanic origin, and either French or German. Many are trilingual and speak all three languages with equal facility. The situation has seldom been so tranquil, however. Alsace and Lorraine have long been disputed between Prance and Germany. Prized for their location, which is crucial militarily, and for their natural resources, the most important being coal and lron, the two provinces have su££e~ed more than their share of invasions, seizures, and changes of government. As languages, customs, races, personalities, and governments mingle without necessarily integrating, the cultural pattern of the "parent" country lS reflected. A study of Alsace-Lorraine is thus a study of the interaction of the French and the Germans"

I had exactly the same thing happen. My Great-Grandmother was from Alsace-Lorraine but moved to Munchengladbach, Germany as a child. So she emigrated to Germany but was ethnically French. When I took the DNA test I was not at all German, but part French. What is even weirder is that my Great-Grandfather also emigrated from Northern Germany, but was ethnically Scandanavian (Danish). So both of my Grandmother’s parents emigrated from Germany, but neither was ethnically German. Confusing.

@UC0k2XIkpYmF_WU38bu7S6qg Yeah, but my grandmother was French according to the DNA. She just spoke German. That's the border areas for you I suppose.

My mother told me that Alsatians are French part of the week, and German the rest... one being the weekdays, the other being the weekends. Can't ever remember which is which, but it had to do with which country tended to have their businesses open vs closed on weekends.

(B) How can they communicate they actually MEAN the words they're using in their responses (like, "yes")...if by the time the conversation has reached the point where their response is meaningful & expected, they've already repeatedly said the same words throughout the whole conversation while I was talking? /end ramble sorry lol 😅✌ _(It's like people who don't want me to say "Happy Holidays" for the first 23 days of December - only "Merry Christmas" allowed!)_ 😂 _(If I use "Merry Christmas" exclusively, every day starting on Thanksgiving, then by the time December 24 finally rolls around....How do I communicate that it's actually Christmas??
