What is a basic white girl?

@@JW-uy2on A basic white girl refers to a teenage girl who is obsessed with Starbucks. A basic white girl usually wears leggings, converse or uggs, and scrunchies.

I know what you mean..绿茶婊. But I feel like the connotation is different? "Green Tea Bitches" mean women who look and act pure and nice but actually are cheaters/homewreckers/sell their bodies. Basic white girl feels more harmless.

Lol and the Texan and Maine guy almost felt like they were competing to be the loudest in the room

We have the same stereotype in Mexico , we normally call the whitexicans

@Armando Martinez Some lists put China before America. Because they include Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau.

They really need to invest in education. Not the smartest people in the world.

Ive never seen walmart with these so called assault rifles. Just shotgun deer rifles and 22s

Agreed

The fact that you can even buy guns in a damn supermarket is crazy to us, non USians

Yes, but America is the Mecca or center of capitalism, whose military and political power are shared among its Western European partners,

Imagine that the Rome of today does not expand its capitalist domain beyond the financial one, and that is where China and Russia can make a difference, do what they did with China and send it their technology. Instead of Latin America, which is now sent its cheap labor to it illegally, I think China came out smarter and now they will be forced to truly compete politically, economically, militarily and even culturally because the gringos are frowned upon morally.

Being from a big country doesn't equal to not owning a passport. Canadians and Russians do travel overseas way more than American. The thing is America has nearly every climate on his soil so that point may validate the relative low percentage of passport owners

@@muramasarfs9970 “ Canadians and Russian travel obviously way more than Americans”. => Correct about Canadians (66% of population having passports) but WRONG about Russians. It is estimated that 60% of Russians have never been abroad. www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/04/10/60-of-russians-have-never-been-outside-cis-poll-says-a33827 And like the video states, the number of passport owners in the US is around 42%. It used to be much lower because traveling to Mexico, Canada, and Caribbean countries didn’t require passports back in the 1990s. And the reason why Canadians are more prone (or have the desire) to international traveling is because Canada, like Australia, is more isolated with half of its population being spread out in the North. And plus, Canada has a more generous paid-time off policy and it is cheaper to travel to Europe from eastern Canada than , for example, California.

@@muramasarfs9970 Canada has large population of recent immigrants and most Canadians live close to the US border. They would need passports more.

Yeah. We'd love to explore but America makes it difficult to do so

Potatoes are from the Americas. Also fried potatoes are Peruvian technically

@@greenmachine5600 I know, but that's not the point lol.

@@greenmachine5600 There is a theory that potatoes come from the Polynesian triangle which were brought to South America by the Polynesians. I don't have the links to prove it (you can easily find it on the internet), but research suggests certains types of potatoes come from Polynesian islands and genetically they are many similarities and/or are the same. Tests have been also done to sail from Polynesian islands to modern day Chile with just a customized boat.

Potatoes come from Chile actually

I remember learning about the mix up. American soldiers started calling them french fries because they believed they we're still in France. They we're actually in Southern Belgium the boarder where the locals speak french.

From the few Americans that I've met in my life I could, hands down, say that this is the sort of vibe they left, as mentioned above. I love them for that!

Most Americans I met was online through business ( I am a freelancer) and I have to say, the are my most beloved customers and also the only ones that regularly give tips and are very appreciating.

I'm not an American but the whole world always critizing Americans is fucking annoying. It's good to read a comment of someone who actually came to USA and had a good experience. They sound like amazingly generous people.

I'm American and this comment warms my heart, glad to hear your experience here has been good. Much love from Illinois :)

Same here, + I found Michael really cute 👉🏼👈🏼

At least they got their own geography right :D

Exactly 😂 especially the way the ladies explained the stereotypes 😂😂

if any thing that's probably it

It didn't. What it proved is that a certain socioeconic class of Americans are stereotypically similar. Most Americans who travel internationally are usually wealthy or from stable upper-middle class families. I definitely did not get along with most of the Americans I met while traveling and I basically grew up in this country. They were all the same, save one or two, entirely unlike the people I went to school and work with. After traveling within the US, I realized that the US populace is definitely underepresented in media. Only certain types of people get shown.

Bingo!

Um, in what way?

Honestly that would've been the funniest question

That would be like a false truth or myth question that will never be put on this new Dating Beyond Borders video.

I’m american from Brazil

The bad stereotypes I’ve read somewhere : ignorant about the rest of the world, arrogant/rude, confrontational/violent. The good ones are: open, truthful, fearless etc Great content.

Americans in my experience ( been to the states over 10 times ) are open, curious, friendly and waaay more individualistic then most other nations!

Awww, lived in Prague? Greetings from Czech! Did u have stereotypes about us too? :D

I- those are literally the three most different states.

I did a road trip in US, some asked "where you from?" "we were like "brazil" and they were like "nice!!" but they really didn't know where brazil is lol, I was passing by a small texas city, a lady asked me if Brazil was inside Australia.......

I was very unlucky. I work in the tourism industry and I found them quite arrogant. But I'm sure it was just not good luck, probably there are some nice American tourists out there lol

@@gabriellamorabozzo3604 there are. I'm not adoring them, I'm just saying that all of American tourists I've taken are good and generous people

Beware of their southern hospitality, those are not genuine

I've been working with mostly US tourists in Europe for more than a decade and in my experience if I were to chose a nationality I'd probably go for the US too. Occasionally there're some crazy short tempered idiots, but for the most part I've found them very cheerful, accommodating and generous. I wonder if they behave "worse" in the Americas where they may feel more at ease and entitled, but I am just starting to speculate here.

As a American not all of us are assholes.

That was hilarious!!! 😅

You don't have to apologize.

It also depends on the state or how rich ur district/county is bc some states have better education than other states and poorer districts/counties tend to have worse education systems.

Many people I know, know a lot about geography. Y’all can’t just generalize 330,000,000 people that come from all over the world

Speak for yourself and your poorly educated teacher

That's scary that the _teachers_ didn't know.

I’m American and never heard a teacher say something so ignorant

Brennna, I completely agree. I wish there was more emphasis in school in the US put on teaching geography and the encouragement of learning more than one language beyond it being required to take two years of a foreign language in high school In order to have enough credits to graduate in some states.

I had a class in high school that was called world geography

the politician doesn't want you and the rest of u.s citizens to mastering at geography, because they're afraid you'll be sue them for what they're doing to another country in the world

Comprehensible input. Just watch a bunch of Spanish tv and film with Spanish subtitles on

@@javacova2096 Actually it’s because geography is oftentimes irrelevant to current events/history. You don’t need to know the latitude and longitude of Armenia to know about the Armenian genocide.

Nah, I personally don't think all of it is true, but I could confirm, I am a loudmouth.

HAHAHHAHAHAHWHJAJENANSKWNANJM. True

Trout, did you borrow that quote from Star Wars?

@@reineh3477 Maybe.

Me as an American: Not very true.

America is corrupt and there's lots of police brutality. But a positive stereotype would be that Americans are friendly.

Some Americans are friendly and some are reserved depending on the area

Marina, thanks for mentioning about the word American. So tired of the whiners 🙄

Maybe it'll be easier soon for Canadians, Mexicans, Central Americans, and South Americans to immigrate to the US, and then they can also be full "Americans"

No te preocupes acerca de los llorones que se quejan del término "american". Aun sufren porque los países latinoamericanos llegaron tarde a la independencia de América. De hecho, casi 20 años después de Estados Unidos. Entonces, Mientra ese país ya era una nación independiente que llevaba con orgullo el nombre del continente, el resto de los demás países eran aun territorio español, portugúes, francés u holandés. Pasa que no estudian bien la historia.

Yes, the best way to learn a language is the opportunity or need to practice it. I come from Germany and a lot of people here learn English because they can use it all over the world. But only a few people learn another language, e.g. that of one of our neighboring countries. Here many assume that everyone else in these countries understands German.

@@onkelkeule652 So true. I moved to China back in 2014, and I needed to learn Chinese to do anything because it was very difficult to communicate otherwise. However, when I moved to Cambodia in 2018 I found it harder to learn Khmer than Chinese because it wasn't as necessary to speak Khmer in order to get around. It was very easy to get around Cambodia while speaking English, and even when I tried to speak Khmer with locals they would respond in English. Of course after I left China I forgot much of the Chinese I had learned because I didn't need to or have much opportunity to practice it.

True

Thank you.

Yeah when one of the people said we aren’t pushed to learn another language, that’s a lie. You have to take a foreign language class to graduate high school; the reason a lot of people are monolingual is because they forget it.

I don't feel like learning anything besides Spanish and maybe Japanese

Big reason is because the majority of us in the U.S. never travel outside the U.S. Unlike people in the EU, for instance, where traveling and experiencing other cultures is normal

@@VIP_World That's because America is so large. But honestly, you don't have to travel to learn about foreign languages or cultures, it's a failure of our media by not including them.

Our media should include other countries rather than america like i just wanna learn more about their life-

No, it’s because they don’t really teach languages at a young age like that. They barely teach you and then they actually teach you when it’s an Highschool credit. Depending on the school is, the better education. More kids attend public schools so they get worse education. And then to top it off you have the rankings of class. A normal class, honors, AP and so on. Many people just take the average class because you can still get into a college or university mixed with an honors class. And honors class is just slightly more work than the average class. Then here comes the education requirements. You have to chose certain classes to help you become what you want to be in the future. And then most of the time, knowing another language fluently isn’t required. You need a certain amount of language credits to graduate. But since you can take other language classes and you don’t have to focus on one, you can just learn the basics of only 2 languages. It’s the easy way on graduating. Because of the education system and how it’s built around BASED ON WHAT YOU WANT TO BE thats just how it goes. If you want to be a doctor, they’re not going to make it so you take all these other classes that’s not necessary for you to become a doctor. If you want to be a mathematician, they’re not going to make you study psychology. If you want to be an author, they’re not going to make you take construction. Knowing a language fluently isn’t required so nobody goes for that if it’s not meant to help them become successful. Geography is a required course so the question is why are Americans so stupid on geography? Geography is like the first course you take in Highschool. And usually you have to be really good in geography already if you want to already be admitted in a better geography class. It’s like showing you are worthy which most of the time in your freshmen year, that won’t happen. And an average geography class in Highschool, knowing how flags look isn’t mandatory. Almost nothing is mandatory in an average class in a public school. So you know what they’ll do? They won’t teach it to you. Geography isn’t an EOC course (an end of the year exam.) In geography they’re more worried about the basics that you should have known in elementary. But in elementary they usually teach you barely anything. And because it’s been 4 years since you were in elementary many Americans will already forget these kind of things. Especially since school isn’t that long considering we have 8 days at the least per month out of school. At the most around 3 weeks for the holidays. Oh and then about 2 months for the summer break. Not to mention in elementary you don’t have to study almost not at all. In middle school you barely get into the habit. In freshman year they’re trying to get you into the habit and because Geography and language is like the first courses you take, they make it super easy for you. Therefore of course Americans are going to be stupid in these areas because they get so much free time, a lot less requirements, and they get the choice of education. For someone to sit there and know another language fluently, they either have other family members that know the language fluently and learned it young, or they studied the language because only one language was available for them in there school, or they’re dream career requires them to learn more than one language, or they’re just genuinely interested in the language so they used there Highschool credits on that rather than taking another science class, or computer class to help with there dream job.

True

That's what I see, each state has its own self-determination, although there is an inter-state pact with the federal government, and the federal reserve, whose owners are not from the government are powerful rich people

Most American states don't have unique culture.

@@mypanexogamouslineage965 At least it can be said that despite speaking one language it has different cultural aspects, on the other hand in Latin America the variety is greater despite speaking all Spanish

Most countries have way more serious regional differences than our mostly English speaking nation. We're hardly regionally diverse compared to alot of countries in the world.

@Anthrax the bacterium Not obese, but ignorant, at least in a self centric way? For sure.

Well, Parisians are their own people. I would never compare them to normal frenchies, same as I would never shove that scum from Berlin under the same carpet as the rest of Germoney.

@Anthrax the bacterium you're cringe.

We are not laughing in Europe we are terrified. What many US-Americans don't seem to realize is that all the other countries in the world don't only look at you just because of your films and music industry but because you are the largest economy in the world and have the most powerful military on earth. The Dollar is the lead currency, you dominate institutions like the IMF and the World Bank. You are a giant and when you f* up and go down you will take the world with you. I wished more Americans were aware what a huge responsibility they have toward the world when they vote. But most people think US elections are just about the US.

@@solokom I didn't consider that. What happens here does have global implications. At the very least, the election is over. I can't pretend to know what will happen next, but I have no doubt everyone is watching.

@@solokom Most of not all countries only think about themselves. Don’t act like Germany, France, or the UK’s citizens worry about how their actions affect other countries. You’re just being an internet optimist.

@@JohnSmith-yf5bk you are totally missing the point. The named countries are no Imperiums like the US is. Their influence is really weak in comparison.

​@@solokom that's just a question of scale. The choices of the UK, Greece, Germany, etc have quite a bit of influence within the EU. Are they totally benevolent toward one another, to where one country will sacrifice for another without complaint or expectation of return? That actually happens more than you'd think between US states, as there are definitely some states that take a lot of money from the government and others that give a lot to it, and it generally doesn't come up until the takers start whining about the givers wanting more help

I'm French and hate all these stereotypes about Americans (ask a French where is Costa Rica on a map, or even some Eastern Europe country, ROFL). I think USA has such a huge influence that we know - or think we know - a lot about it, and feel like we can judge it, like it's not just stereotypes but the truth, despite most of the Europeans have never been overseas. Actually as a French I understand the feeling of receiving these kind of negative stereotypes, cause we don't only have the "romantic" thing but a lot of "snobby, think they are the best" shit too. That's infuriating, if I had to describe the French mentality nowadays it's "self hatred", seriously everyone in France is always talking about how bad we are in English, how racist we are, how alcoholic we are, our president Macron even said we have no culture WTF, and then you have your neighbours who are like "stop thinking you are the best in Europe, always so snobby". I guess that's why nationalism is raising in France, because you know, that's enough fuckers, it's time for France to rise again. Back to USA, they sound like an amazing people to me, hard workers and party freaks, with an unbelievable diversity of opinions and beliefs from an extreme to another. I'm pretty sure hanging out with Americans is a crazy experience!

@@neoDarkSquall Thank you for your refreshing and heartfelt comments. I've been to France twice and found it to be an amazing experience! Take care!

I actually quite agree with all these stereotypes, I agree Americans are more helpful to strangers. But they also think the universe revolves around them. I also happen to live in the US, some americans think the critique is because of jealousy but its not, I can be an american(one of the other good things about the US, if you culturally act like an american and have that sense of nationalism many accept you), but i dont want to be an american, americans are quite arrogant people. For instance when I was in Turkey and flying an airplane, an american boy told me " there is a space up there in the overhead for you" I didnt quite understand him, and I said what, which might have sounded aggressive in english, the proper response was "I beg your pardon" however this old american guy in the front seat yelled aggressively, I didnt quite understand what he said but he was clearly being racist. The thing is I dont need to know the intricacies of the politeness of the english, at least when I am not in the US. So overall, I dislike americans because, they are defensive, rude, racist and in fact all the stereotypes in this video is correct, I had so many bad experiences with them that I actually find it refreshing when they experience discrimination abroad.

@@sinsinsinat5377 Certain Americans listen. Certain Americans wish to understand the perspectives of others. I hope you find peace in your life for the years to come. Kindest regards - An American.

Diverse in what sense?

@@bifrostbeberast3246 Every sense. But definitely ethnically diverse.

@@chrisb9996 Yup, the US sure is ethnically diverse while still managing to retain a strong national identity. But this comes also with the downside of very real racism and the formation of subcultures/failed integration, as we are experiencing it everywhere else in the world where a lot of immigration happened. I believe there to be strong stereotypes in the US that would be considered rude or racist in Germany when spoken out, but that are quite accepted to some extent in the US (or at least were before everyone went woke, I guess because Americans are more easy going about such topics), such as blacks are disadvantaged and therefore tend more towards violent crimes, jews just want to make money, white men are supremacists, asians become either doctors or engineers, as well as hiding in subcultures inside china town, Indians are...etc. Every stereotype stems from a spark of truth, sometimes even a small flame of truth, so the people must have their reasons for it. I just had the feeling that the US is more prone to stereotyping and sticking labels to people on first encounter. This view still could be biased, as I understand English quite well, but most other countries I've been to, I wouldn't understand their native tongue and couldn't tell if they share similar sentiments towards other ethnicities.

@@bifrostbeberast3246 Honestly all that stuff would be considered offensive in the US and you can get in trouble for saying that stuff. Stereotyping people especially racial groups is not accepted here. In the comedy world it can have some acceptance, but more so if the person is of the group they are stereotyping. A lot of people like to generalize the US and think they know something about Americans, but you won’t know this country and culture well unless you grew up here.

@@chrisb9996 I fully agree. I'm glad you told me as I really want to work on my own stereotypes, especially since it is easy for the rest of the world to form an opinion about the US due to the far reach of hollywood and its pop culture. I take your word here as fact. Thank you for updating me on this :)

Hi beautiful 😍🤩🥰😍

How are you doing

Sorry but it's ingrained in our culture. We like to be different. Years of isolationism and then two world wars and a cold war impacted our psyche. It's part of our culture to think that the rest of the world is backwards and were different. To be honest we stole that mentality from the British.

That even goes for the mainstream's attitude toward American subcultures like the Native Americans, the Amish, or certain people's attitudes about people from other parts of the country or even other parts of their own state.

completely wrong

Connecticut and Minnesota also have really good education systems.

Haha! I noticed that too!

Yeah that threw me off

Some American schools teach geography in elementary.

in my elementary school one teacher gave us a map of the US and kept having us fill it out. some teacher teach it a bit but not really, so i think its mainly because they dont teach it unless where learning a topic placed in the area

I agree that might be part of the problem, but in Portugal, for example, we learn about the continents but besides that we learn mostly about European countries. People usually gather information about other countries on their own, the schools also don't teach us about countries from South America or Asia, etc. However, most people know relatively well where most of the countries are, with some exceptions, of course, we don't know where every single country is exacly. But at least we know the continent for sure. Americans don't have a clue about where a lot of important countries are. It's not only their fault, but it's also their fault in the sense that they don't search for it and they usually think they don't need it because they are American. Of course this is a generalization. There are a lot of educated people in the US who know these things. Usually the same people who don't think America is the center of the world. Surely a very important country though. Culturally and economically. Socially most of Europe is a lot more developed.
