@@dner75-xh9le Although most Danes speak English, it is not their first language, driksett! That would be Danish, which has similar word order in sentence as English as they are actually closely related Germanic languages on different branches of the tree. But verbs are much simpler to conjugate in Danish. So no, that is not what he meant. Nor could you determine what he was thinking based on that. But you'd know that if you had ever considered that a non native English speaker might not choose their words the same as you do. You proffered a perfect example of a stereotype not mentioned in the video! Americans think everyone uses English the same way they do and they have little to no understanding of other languages and how those same foreign speakers will use English in a different manner. You are coming to a questionable (I mean to say bullshit) conclusion based on overthinking what a Danish person said in English. Trust me, he is keeping his English simple. You are reading far too much into it. BTW...I am American but had a Norwegian mother and learned Norwegian from her from birth, English at the same time, both the way children acquire languages. Norwegian bokmål and Danish are mutually intelligible languages once the Danes spit out the potato. So I understand how one might answer the question the way he did in English due to the language he grew up speaking. Sorry for being rude. That's the American side of me being loud and boisterous.

The thing is, our education is not consistently terrible. You can get the best education your family can afford- that's the problem. You see, in the U.S. public schools are funded by property taxes. If you live in a poor neighborhood with low property values then your school district doesn't have a lot to work with. Conversely, if you live in an affluent and desirable neighborhood and your property values are really high, then your school district will be able to afford the best of pretty much everything. And of course this also means that you can probably afford the betetr universities which also have the highest tuition, whereas the rest of us may have to settle for Generic State U instead of Harvard or UCLA or Duke.

Daniel Lunsford Absolutely true! To add to that! We are only allowed to send our kids to the public schools near us, unless we pay for private schools. So that means if the schools near us are sub standard we must move our family to a better school district. Here in Missouri, we moved five miles farther and have top rated schools, however friends near us who can not move, have low rated schools. Not an equal way to distribute money for education in the US. This goes for my teacher friends too. The property taxes fund the teachers salaries, so the higher districts pay higher, this usually means getting more mature, seasoned teachers. It is just a flawed system where even those trying to make a better way for their children are stuck in substandard schools.

Pretty much everything you are stating is just not correct. Sure, this all is good and applies to public school but even here, in Canada public school is shit. It doesn't matter where you live in America. I can assure you that you have access to free, state-funded online schooling that wants you to enroll your kid. They will even send you a new *free* laptop and all the materials (more so than those you would *pay* for in public school) and it is *free!* They will even pay for part or all of your Internet provider bill to ensure you have constant access to their online school. Do some research before you just doom your kid to mediocrity and stupidity. I did. I lived in a crappy place in America. I feared for my kid's safety that they would have to attend a public school. It was that bad. I did a simple search and was amazed at how easy it is to get a better than private school education at an online school. The reports are immediate. If the kid is accelerating at a pace that puts them in the next grade level for their skill in a certain subject, it happens. Boom. No waiting or holding them back because the other kids feel inferior. Everything is smooth and the communication is near instant. Look it up. Stop acting like there isn't a choice.

@@roflstomps324 True 'access' is readily available, but if I may point something else out that is perhaps a factor. To get an online education for your child, you (the parent or guardian or close relative with permission) need to be present. For some, if not many, in America there just isn't a good support system. You will find that both parents or guardians have to work just to get by with the necessities of living, not counting the single parents trying to make it. Not all areas have available daycare or daycare that would help the child(ren) with education. Being able or getting help to pay for daycare is also not easy for some. Also, if you don't follow the regulations that come with homeschooling, you may find yourself talking with a child protection agency, because clearly you don't have "adulting" down quite right lol.

Well that isnt true in Texas. Funding DOES NOT stay withing the school district, it is sent to Austin, and then redistributed to each school based on school attendance. Large schools get more total funds than small schools, regardless of school location. It's called the "Robin Hood Law" (Take from the rich, give to the poor). What make some schools better than others is quality of teachers and involvement of parents. All schools suffer because of wasted time dealing with juvenile delinquents, moronic social indoctrinations, and overall federal government interference. At least down here it works that way.

There are many lazy Americans that wouldn't have the Scandinavian work ethic if they were allowed to not work and still be provided for. I find it scandalous that a single person with no children who makes 8,000 Euros a month (high salary) in many European countries will pay 4,000 Euros (or more) in taxes/ social security/ insurance. You are punishing that person for (likely) getting an education and working hard. What is the incentive for working hard in Scandinavia? Paying taxes to help other people? It surely can't be to get more money, because you are going to lose half of the extra money you make to taxes! In the US, we keep most of what we make. It is not good to be upper middle class in Europe. It is very good in the US. Of course, the company owners, royalty, and sports stars in Europe can overcome this high tax, but it is nearly impossible to break into the upper echelon in Europe. If you are uneducated, don't like to work hard or many hours, or if you are not healthy, then I would rather be in Europe.

I don't understand at all why someone would say she was a whore; unless they a self-righteous person who views themself as the authority on morals, has no empathy, and makes no attempts to understanding the behavior of other humans. Before posting this comment I tried to see things from that person's position. I decided there was no use trying to understand misogyny and hate toward another person. I'm sad for the person that decided they could pass judgement on another with only the understanding of a person as those who have decided what America is like based on media coverage and a closed mind.

Personality and political opinions are complex and I doubt it can be summed up as "two types of americans". Personally, I think the two party system in America (I know there is more but only two major) is rather hurtful as I feel like it take away the careful logical considerations behind choosing the politics you stand behind and instead narrow it down to what opportunist preachers from both sides manage to take the most advantage of vulnerable people. Democratic politics isn't one right and one wrong side, it is about representing and listening to the entire population's wishes and then making a compromise benefitting as many people as possible. Something many americans has forgotten with their "choose which side is our saviour and who is the evil spawn from hell"-politics.

I believe your confusion stems from the fact that you hear "too friendly" and think "that's nice" while most danes would consider people being right up in your face as an annoyance. In general terms Danes appreciate long lasting close relationship but detest superficial interaction. A good example is: If a person asks you how you are, a Dane would assume you want to hear how the person actually is, down to the detail. Americans, in general terms, view this form of interaction more as a greeting which clashes greatly with the danish culture. The result is often that Danes view Americans as superficial and overly friendly.

I think the woman who said that Americans use the phrase, "How are you doing?" just as a greeting phrase is correct. I say it to strangers all the time, almost each time I go out and in turn they say it to me. The part that gets lost in translation though is the fact that I do really mean it. It's more of a Southern American thing though than it is an overall American thing. I've been to Chicago and NY and nobody asks you how you are doing but where I live it's not uncommon to have a ten-minute conversation on the street or at the grocery store or anywhere with a perfect stranger.

+Stuffedbird That's an interesting point you make. I get the impression watching these videos that Europeans are spoon fed lies upon lies by their media just as in the US. It must be because Americans have more instinctual independent thought, that many are able to see through the lies. People I know are embarrassed by the behavior of groups like Black Lives Matter just as people are embarrassed by the behavior of the KKK. The media would have you believe that those groups represent the majority of Americans views or at least that those views are very prevelent when in fact, those are what's called the vocal minority, a very small minority at that. The media heavily exaggerates the sphere of influence these racist groups have, because the media feeds on ratings for advertising dollars. There's simply not as much money in telling the truth. Also, there's more Black people on American tv than is proportional to they're actual percentage of the population.

Danes are STILL waiting for an official apology for that AND for Trump afterwards cancelling the official state visit he invited himself to. An official state visit are the highest diplomatic visit in the diplomatic book and when it comes to the Kingdom of Denmark the official host are our Queen. SHE are the official host. The last person that cancelled such a visit in an insulting way we went to war with for it. POOtin are laughing at you and how he polarised your nation even more to the extreme.

rdizzy1 false Lego is shortened "Leg godt" and you cant put a s on that.

Wisti Johnston This is the US though, and we use it for the individual bricks,not the sets, even NON lego brand bricks are called legos as in lego bricks shortened to legos. The term leg godt applies to the entire company/brand name,so why would anyone put a plural on a company brand name? We are speaking of the plural of the bricks themselves, regardless of what brand makes them, because what else are you going to call them? Attachable plastic bricks?

rdizzy1 I get what you are saying but it was said in the first comment, 1 lego 2 lego 3 lego all the lego. Its lego no matter what. But ofc you guys understand your language better, its just weird to us that you say legos.

"We are extremely influenced by media" sums it up. The world gets their view of the US from the media hype, which does not represent the average American experience. It's interesting that the people who actually travelled here a lot said that the stereotypes don't apply.

I found the fellow at the end to be very intelligent in that he sees the lack of cultural context that they have. You have things that change our politics and may look crazy, while it really is a lack of cultural understanding.

The last guy with the green scarf gets it. A small country with mostly one race of people might view something they get from the media and form one stereotype but the truth is that the US is so complex that the answer to every question you can ask of it is yes and no.

+Madelyn B Which imaginary America are you living in?, because it sure isn't the real America. The poorest region of the US is the south & last time I checked there was a lot of white, cisgender, Christians living there. on the other hand, there are a lot of filthy rich, gay people living in Palm Springs & San Francisco. Last I checked, the cost of living in San Francisco was just a bit higher than any town in oh, say Mississippi. You got your head so far up your ass you think your own farts smell good.

Seeing the question header "How The Danes View Americans" I was about to write that Americans don't know much about Denmark, but having listened to answers in the video I need to add that Danes could learn more about Americans. Americans are very diverse: palefaces, redskins, blacks, hispanics, buddhists, rich, poor, they eat less now ... oh, and they have the greatest women's soccer team in the world, yay!

From this group of Danes, I have concluded that Danes hold very uniform and consensus views and believe what is spoon fed to them by corporate and government run mass media.

just read all the comments and it scares me how generalising everyone is. I'm a dane myself, and we're all different! I don't at all agree with those people in the video. And it really hurts me to read all of your bad comments about Denmark and Danish people, how we don't like black people and stuff... I dont think that Denmark or Danish people is the greatest thing ever, cause no one is perfect. okay i don't even know where i'm going with this, but i hope it got people thinking somehow...

+Natasha Schrøder I've been feeling the same way watching some of these videos talking about these American stereotypes. I love to travel and I've been to 26 different countries throughout my life and have had wonderful experiences with different people of different cultures and it's really shaped me into a, I'd like to think, very open minded and culturally aware person. But watching these videos had me thinking that maybe all the nice experiences I had weren't genuine because maybe those people I met believed these stereotypes. These videos make me sad. I appreciate your comment and you are completely right. I'm going to trust my gut and trust that my nice experiences truly were as nice as I remember and I just want to say to you that you shouldn't listen to the negative comments on these videos. These are comments by negative people who just like to share their negativity online because it's easy to do and probably because they have nothing better to do with themselves. I would love to go to Denmark someday :)
