Aww what a nice comment, thank you. :)

My recommendation is to go see the Midwestern or southern states and avoid the largest cities. It will be much safer. Most of the shootings reported are within the largest city because their mayors and prosecutors are too lax to go after the criminals. Most people in the Midwest and southern states are friendly. As long as you don't discuss politics, you won't find yourself in a heated discussion.

🤣😂🤣😂 I thought the opinions weren’t all too one sided or r negative?? 😅

I thought the same!

Agreed. It's exhausting being demonized and dehumanized in these types of videos over and over again.

I thought the same. I watched a video previously about French opinions on Americans. I was more concerned about this video. Ha.

@@EasyEnglishVideos Thanks for putting Afro-american music in the video. Usually when folks talk about American accents they forget us.

Correct. I think most US visited States by tourists are NYC, Florida, Vegas (NV) & California. There's 46 more to see!

I,m British and i have been to middle states,been to Ohio,Teneessee,St Louis,Missouri,Kentucky,Texas,North south Carolina and Kansas and Indiana.

This is very true, the U.S. is a vast country. But equally, I would say that the average U.S. Tourist visiting the U.K. is unlikely to visit Bath, Manchester, Liverpool, York, Cornwall, The Welsh Valleys, The Lake District or the Scottish Highlands. Just London really. Not a criticism, but probably a valid point. Both countries have a lot more to see than the usual big cities. 🙂

This is true, because most people only visit NYC, LV, Vegas, and Miami when visiting. Even on road trips, they only pass by the states around them like Utah and stop for a few days max so they don’t get familiar with the local culture.

@@danhodson7187 True...I've only been to London and I know that's not even close to seeing all of England much less the whole U.K.

😆😆🤫

yes the riches states. the 4th economy of the world

I'm American, and I don't speak loud unless I'm pissed off

I’m an American and I’m fat but not particularly loud.

I'm an American and I am too busy stuffing large portions of food in my face to be loud. So I'm half way there.

6 days? That's a lot):

Would you like a gold sticker? Lol

Thank you for being kind and explaining the currency to them. As an American, for personal safety, my recommendation is to stay out of the Eastern and Western States. Major cities like New York , LA and the very high populated cities are managed by Democrats who are lax on law enforcement. To illustrate my point. In Indiana for example. 2/3 of the Indianapolis resident criminals are in the donut counties like Johnson around Marian county (Indianapolis). Indianapolis has Democrats running the city while Conservative Republicans manage the donut counties and most of the counties in the state. Most of the state has a very low murder rate except Indianapolis and Gary way up north. The sheriffs and prosecutors in the Conservative counties already said they are not letting the Indy criminals have their way by making them sit in jail for years not weeks and months like Marian county.

yes, go to the poor red racist states, that get hand outs from blue states.

Thanks for helping him. Odd that he was so confused though since we have "decimal currency" in the US as well. .01, .05, .10, .24, and .50

Got that right. Boston is more intellectual than Seattle and Shy-town is off the hook. Grew up in Wa. State, dad from Mass and I had the opportunity to live in New England,Connecticut, and it was rad. Totally bloomed in that culture. But. .. then I surfed and found god. Thanks for the Turtle submarine Yankee😀Love ya!

Variety is good. It's a shame when some people turn it into an "us vs them" issue...

@@nursejoed agree

@@jocelynnowen3078 "Shy-town" is off the hook? I live in "Shy-town"! I lived in San Francisco in the 1990s and was so glad to make my way back here.

Hahaha thanks for watching Chris... we're all Stephen Fry over here

As a fellow American, I'd agree with this last statement. Stephen Fry or Hugh Laurie! LOL. I wonder if this 'brashness' that Brits talk about isn't some of just cutting loose when out of the country. People, from where ever, can act differently in different situations. By the way - we didn't all vote for 45. Many of us don't like him either.

@@EasyEnglishVideos the thing is, the average english bloke's eloquence seems on par with the average american professor. americans (i am one) have very limited vocabulary and limited variation in sentence syntax compared to the english. the english are just so articulate and have such rich vocabularies.

@@-41337 probably depends more on the area you are in. places like the deep south vs highly educated area like the silicon valley are gonna vastly different vocabularies. the dialect change between the states is crazy

@@hesiiii completely misses the point. not only is the eloquence of silicon valley not even close to that of the average english person, but the point is that it is normal, average english people who are eloquent and have larger vocabularies.

Great observational comment Angeline! I think our opinions are based on where we live, have grown up & exposure to people in an additional 49 States! I'm US but I like all the UK people I know & have ever met!

They do, i know it was meant figuratively, but many people are so similar in the US. Its due to their mainstream culture and political indoctrination.

I remember going to Disneyworld in Orlando when I was a kid in 1999. I swear it felt like half the people there were British.

that's 70 million people more than britain, 67 million

Nice to know!!!

Greetings from Brighton!

I’m from SC myself, and I’m glad to see at least some British don’t think completely poorly of us.

I agree ☝️ there is a anti American push in our country for sure.

@DS clueless , do you really think you would win a war against europe ? British people hate Americans and everything about you

@DS If other countries don't like us, it'll be harder for us to trade, forge military alliances, and compete against China in the global economy. All our guns and bombs mean nothing if we don't have soft power too.💰🗽🦅

That prode is very anti-Christian though, and the UK is officially a Christian nation. "Pride goeth before destruction..."

Weight - has she looked us, in the uk!!! ( not me) Especially the women, fat!!! I like Americans, Trump compared to, Biden, haha, you kidding, look at the state your in !!! We in the, UK, have > control …I’d rather live here, unless, Alaska, further their shops are better!!! Lol

I agree there is a lot of heavy people in America and that is just due to people's diet plus people don't walk everywhere and drive to places. Driving especially true in more rural states where public transportation doesn't exist. Due to medical issues including allergies, I had to switch to a low fat , high carb diet to just maintain my weight. I went from 213lbs down close to 150lbs in about 3-4 months.

@@WW-cp4gb I guess it depends on who you hang out with or where you live. It seems like Americans are obsessed with being skinny and fit. 150 from over 200 is great by the way!

Well pointed out Aaron, hopefully no one takes this episode too seriously when it comes to stereotypes videos. At least some pointed out that this certain "directness" is something the British lack.

This is often a class based behaviour. Typically, the working and upper classes behave with very strong self-confidence and behave as if they don't care what other people think - and they drink heavily and can be obnoxious. But then you have the majority of middle class people who are very aware of their position in society and what other people think - and though they might drink moderately, they would never behave in that load brash drunken way that the upper/working classes do. British society is very nuanced in the class system - I can categorise someone within a minute or two in terms of background / position in society / money etc , just by the way their dress, speech and demeanour.

This is true. Some Brits love Alcohol and scrapping.

Ahhh Thanks mate 🙌

Being an European (EU citizen) also living in the USA I really feel very European listening/ watching to your videos.

As A Welshman I agree that the English and German peoples have a lot in common. Where as the three Celtic nations of Ireland, Wales and Scotland have more in common with each other and less with the English.

​​​@@timphillips9954DNA research has disproved this old fashioned theory though. English share 70% DNA with other Celtic Brits & Irish and 30% from elsewhere (German/French i.e. Anglo-Saxons, Normans, Vikings)

The US is something like the size of Europe isn’t it? So it’s fatuous to say “What do you think of Americans?” Just as Europeans are as unlike one another country to country, so it is with the US state to state, so there surely isn’t a ‘typical’ American? I’m British and hate this proliferation of KZfaq videos that keep buying into the trope of wanting the vox-pop to trot out the usual nonsense that most Americans are fat, loud and ill-educated. It’s unnecessary, unkind and untrue. During my two visits to the US I only encountered warm, welcoming, friendly people who wanted to know about life in the UK and who spoke proudly about their lives. I do, however, think that it’s reprehensible that politically the US seems to stand alone in the developed world in not providing universal health care for its people and that it appears that many people have been brainwashed into equating universal health care with communism for some obscure historical reason that I cannot fathom. It seems there’s a misunderstanding amongst many who confuse socialism, ie society caring for its people, with communism, ie a regime that controls its people. Why is there this misunderstanding? Do some of you imagine that all of us in Europe live under communism? But that is US politics and should not be conflated with US people. My only other observation is that you all spend too long at work! You deserve shorter working hours and 6 weeks paid vacation. It hasn’t bankrupted employers in the rest of the developed world so it wouldn’t bankrupt your employers either to treat you more humanely I feel.

I think they either visited west coast or northeastern states. If you go towards the Midwest, southern states, people are alot more friendlier due to southern hospitality.

Or rude and abrupt.

If you listen to what they were saying there is a clear pattern: American tourists in Europe: Sometimes rude and brash. Americans in America: very pleasant and welcoming. Americans have less time off from work than Europeans; Americans that travel abroad are either teachers or very wealthy Americans. It’s the wealthy Americans that might have a bit of an attitude about them.

c'est facile de tout mettre sur le dos des italiens ! lol

@@jeannesandner1918 my ancestors were born in Italy.

Nicely said Gabriele, I feel that America is often judged by its politics.

@@EasyEnglishVideos and so are we Brits

Most americans dont like its government either

Usually that's how you can tell any foreigner in the USA right away...their loud and attention seekers.

to be fair that last sentence was a teeny bit obnoxious

The problem, dude, is that A LOT of people in this country DO embody all of those negative stereotypes. And, unfortunately, we seem to love giving those people a platform and a microphone. *Cough* Trump *cough*. So when non-Americans tell me that they've encountered Americans who were fat, loud, arrogant, obnoxious, and ignorant, I can't help but believe them because I see those same kinda people all the time in this country. All you or I can do is try to counteract those negative perceptions through our own behavior/education.

To be fair to people who don't come here, and Americans that don't go overseas--it is really expensive to travel that far! Most Americans I know spend more time in the U.S. simply because of economic reasons.

​​@@nickl7209The problem may be that you're actually not qualified to speak for -"many Americans."- .....sorry, "A LOT of people."

​@@drey8to be fair, eating from McDonalds and watching American-produced TV programs doesn't qualify you as an expert on American culture.

Lol That would be an extremely Entertaining interview They would have to interview older people the young ones wouldn't know where Yorkshire even is

Agreed. Englishman here; US working hours and vacation time are probably the least flexible in the developed world, it's far more of a work culture than anywhere else because big business keeps it that way. I can only apologise on behalf of any of my ignorant fellow countrymen who might be under that misconception.

America creates everything and sets the standard and all other countries use. They hate us but take on everything we invent and do.

@@Mia-vm6pl The only US creation taken on elsewhere is probably Hollywood and that's become so woke it's losing its potency. The US sets its own standards but they're generally regarded as 50 years out-of-date elsewhere. The farming and food standards, infrastructure, gun culture, healthcare, work-life balance, education system, politics etc all hark back to an earlier age. The USA stopped improving and stagnated for so long that it now sits bottom of the table of developed nations in so many areas. So you're definitely not hated, perhaps just viewed as out-of-touch. Travel the world, go spend a year or two living in Europe. It will open your eyes.

@@andrewbarrett42 Just curious. What part of the UK are you from?

I'm glad that this has been noticed by a few people now... maybe a lesson to be learnt

Interesting!!!😊

This tends to be the case, I find. You can watch other videos of people from various cultures' thoughts on Americans, and it's a fairly common thing. I think we're not so well represented by media and, of course, that stereotype of the American tourist which, while true, is only one type of American. There are also quiet, respectful ones walking past you on the streets of Paris or London or etc that you just don't know happen to be American.

This is a great idea for a topic… thanks Tomas 🙌

I'm British and have Italian, french and german friends, I love our European family

Well, I voted for us to remain in the EU. I didn't want to brexit. When I asked why people chose to vote to leave the EU, I always got the same answer; "to make our country great again!". It just seemed like such an ignorant and patriarchal decision to make. Though I'd be lying if I said I knew for a fact that remaining was the better decision as well. Truth is, nobody in Britain knows what was best for us, as our government was spooning us all sorts of lies.

@@nothanks1239 May I ask, why did England want to leave from EU? Can you give me an explanatory answer?

Well, why England want to leave?

@H my bad lol I have a headache when I type this

absolutely. britain did some terrible things in its past but britain is also credited with wiping out the slave trade single-handedly. if it wasnt for the british peoples war on the slave trade then it would still exist today. i see this as a great reason to be proud.

@@jjjj-cy3vz well said 💜 🇬🇧

National pride is foolish but being grateful for Britian is a good thing, I think. I'm an American and I've never been to Britian but from what I've read, Britian's royal family and the nation as a whole has done great good in the world. Of course, none's perfect. I'm sure with all my spiritual flaws, I may have made the same mistakes had I as much power as Britian did.

@@MiguelDLewis thank you ☺️ I'm happy of how successful America has become even though you have for years 😊 I love how Brits and america settled our differences 💜

Tourists usually complain about other nationality tourists all the time. Some British tourists (the ones who go to beach resorts in Spain) have a terrible reputation even with other British tourists (the middle class ones who go to the Ardeche).

@@drey8 yeah but it seems like Europeans complain about British tourists by far the most, I once read someone describe British tourists as the European equivalent of American tourists.

They are! Brits are some of the ruddest tourists ever!
