Someone's response to my comment below brought me back to this video, and watching it again, I must say that I agree with the man at 4:02. I think the world's perception of the U.S. is changing, negatively for the most part, and I fear our country is on the decline. There's a lot of in-fighting, increasing gap between the super rich and the poor. However, I still do think the U.S. has great things to offer to its people and the world. We just need to stop fighting with ourselves and learn how to unite as a country.

Well, good thing you were born in Italy (assuming that's where you are from) - a lovely country with delicious food, beautiful people, and picturesque scenery. No wonder it's one of the top tourist destinations at any time of the year. 🙂

@@talkintothemic Yeah, It's true, but the most important thing is the social factor, in general Italy and the other EU nations take more care of own citizens. Despite this I think that american people have to fight more for their rights.

@@alemassa6632 Good observation. You are right to point out that the societal structure of Italy (and other EU nations) and the US is quite different. America is more about self-efforts, individual freedom and charting one's own path whereas EU nations are more collective and socialistic. There are positives and negatives to both systems.

​@@talkintothemicrigth observation

Yes you would.

She's proud of Italian food. 😄

There are plenty of that kind in every region of Italy, even in (hear hear) in Sicily😊

@@nicolettastrada5976 very interesting. I figured that was the case, and always assumed it was more common in the north compared to the south.

MA NON ROMPERE LE PALLE CON LA GENETICA AMERICANO!!!!!

@@Ajemonewhat do you mean?

​@@Runescape_God😂😂😂that you broke his balls with this talk about blond hair and blue eyes! I' m sorry but this is an obsession of you americans!!! And by the way there are many blonds with blue eyes from north to south, not just thd olive italian with dark hair as you believe with your stereotypes. Surprised?🤷‍♂️ 😉🇮🇹

There’s healthy food in the USA

speak for yourself. id take texas and down south bbq over any other food lol.

@@94FADEThey meant to say our food is very unhealthy. We have Texas bbq, soul food, Cajun, creole but they are full of fat.

@@capeverdeanprincess4444 idk about full of fat but fat equals flavor so it tastes good

Those are rookie numbers lol

i think most of this prejudice comes from the fact that in the US there is by far way more fast food chains and also because the food is more processed than in Europe, where the regulation on food production is 100 times more strict

I agree , except for food . America food is trash

Hi. Thanks for watching and leaving a couple of comments. Are you referring to one of the background songs? That song was used because tarantella is among the most recognized forms of traditional southern Italian music. Basically, it sounds Italian to most people. 🇮🇹 If you haven't already, please subscribe to be alerted about our future videos.

Infact americans put a tarantella and a mandolin in every video about Italy. But it's neapolitan dance only...! What would you say if I would put a cowboy song in a video or film about New York?@@talkintothemic

@@paolodesiato9497 It wasn't meant to be offensive. 😊Yes, Biella is in the north, but the video is representative of Italian's views on the U.S. in general. Honestly, if an Italian made a video about New York and used a country song, that would be fine. However, your comparison doesn't quite hold because this video was about one country's (Italy) view about another country (the U.S.) - not a specific region within a country. Also, the tarantella song was used in the video because it's copyright free. There are certain copyright restrictions when it comes to background music on KZfaq. However, perhaps what's being highlighted here by your comment is the strong regional identity (and perhaps rivalry) within Italy itself. Regardless, thank you so much for watching and engaging with the content by leaving your comments!

Not offended at all... I'm from Rome, and usually pefer the south Italy. It was just for the usual cliché about Italy which is unbearable from here... I suggest something more neutral (still by Rossini) as the symphonies fron his operas. Take care... @@talkintothemic

@@Fabio_LeChanteur sorry this was meant for someone else but I put it here by mistake. my apologies

Right. The U.S. is about the size of entire Europe. The cultural differences between a rural town Mississippi and an urban city in Illinois, like Chicago, is so great that perhaps the only similarity between the two is the shared language (but different dialects) and federal laws. In fact, Chicago is probably more similar to Frankfurt, Germany than it is to Water Valley, Mississippi. It's an over-simplication to say America is this or that without specifying what part of America, just like it's inaccurate to say all Europeans love to paella (Spanish) or stamppot (dutch).

There are statistics about how much us Americans eat fastfood

@@leonbodenstab2925 Yes, I'm sure the statistics are available online. However, I think you might be missing my point. Even if Americans consume the most amount of fast food per capita (I haven't looked this up so I am not sure if this is actually true), that's about American fast food. The point I am making is that there are other forms of fast food. Pretty much every country has its own version of fast food. The difference here is that Americans have figured out a way to efficiently mass produce it with consistency and effectively market it to the entire world.

Not true. Italians usually drink a coffee and that's all for breakfast... Your breakfast is composed by eggs, bacon, sausages, butter. I eat two cookies in the morning and drink a small coffee without sugar. The very fat people are mostly in USA and not in Italy or in France: this a fact. If you eat fast food once a year, you are out of the statistics. Good for you. Anyway it's not the "fast food" itself the cause of obesity, but the quantity of animal fat and simple sugars (especially in the soft drinks); and I would add the alcohol you drink at any occasion (beer, wine, wiskey, vodka), which is rare here (aside from Veneto region).

@@paolodesiato9497 Fair point. One of the women in this video talked about how American food is full of sugar and additives. Sadly, that's true. I suppose it's a necessary part of mass producing so much food. Perhaps the biggest difference is that Italians, for the most part, seem to know how to enjoy a good meal with friends and family whereas for Americans (again, generally speaking), it's more of a passive activity.

how can we know what different words are used on the border of one state or the other when we’ve never been in the usa?? do you know how the italian language differs from region to region? i dont think so and it’s not even expected for you to know. it’s incredibly pedant from you to think in this way

60% of Americans do not have a passport, so they cannot travel abroad. In Italy, there are already different dialects from village to village. For example, in Germany and Italy almost everyone has a passport, so almost everyone can travel abroad, although within the EU an identity card is sufficient and a driver's license is often also accepted

I lived in the U.S for 2 years, and spent time in 20 different states. Every state is not like a different country. 🤣 Maybe America was a fantastic country up until the 1990s, but it has peaked. It's been on a serious decline since then. It was great while it lasted, but the golden years are well behind you now. Europeans created America and built it into the greatest country on earth. Without Europeans America is nothing. The lower the European ancestry demographic goes in America the worse the country becomes. And what these people are talking about when they say the food is terrible is the food standards in terms of health. Food standards in Europe are far higher. Plus, this girl mentioned it here, the Mediterranean diet. That and the fact that European towns and cities are places where everyone walks. In America everyone drives every where. There are still some really beautiful parts of America left, but what do they all have in common? Yes, they are majority populated by European ancestry Americans.

no you don't have the best food in the world (I've been to the USA), because even the best Italian restaurant in the USA would only be average in Italy, that's because the ingredients are simply not fresh. Life expectancy is lower, obesity is a big problem.

Sure, @ibrahimwasy3443...

Hi. Thanks for watching and engaging with the content. The goal of this channel is to promote unity despite our differences. That said, would you like elaborate by what you mean? Yes, we need to recognize (and appreciate) that there are differences of opinion, but it's a major accusation to label a country of being engaged in world class terrorism.

@@talkintothemic With all due respect i would like to say, USA killed nearly 2 million in Iraq, hundreds of thousands of Afghans, frequently bombed Yemen, dropped 2 atomic bombs to kill hundreds of thousands in seconds, involved in constant state of war agianst weak countries, captured innocent bearded men, and downgraded dozens of millions of lives because of the economic/social collapse, forced millions to flee from their houses to start all over again. Supports a tyrannical state who is involved in a gruesome genocide as i write. And the list goes on.. I dont want any arguments but in my humble opinion i think all of these are blunt acts of terrorism… pardon me if i m wrong. ✌️

@@ibrahimwasy3443 Everyone is entitled to their opinion, of course. But, look, the bombing of Pearl Harbor, flying planes into buildings, attacking embassies, taking innocent citizens captive, killing journalists, etc. are all acts of terrorism - not to mention all the failed attempts to wreak havoc in the US or to US national interests. Let's not forget that countless US soldiers bled and died to defend Europe against the Nazis and many parts of Asia against imperial Japanese rule. It still provides protection to other nations all over the world. I get that some say that US is only helping because of its self interest, but the bottom line is that it's spending its own money and utilizing its own resources to help protect democracies around the globe. The US has also helped S. Korea not become subject to the gruesome totalitarian Kim regime of N. Korea, and because of that, there's now a prosperous and thriving country on the southern half of the Korean peninsula. The US is also helping Taiwan and the Philippines stand up to a larger foe threatening to take over parts or all of their territory. The communist Chinese regime is notorious for human rights violation (ethnic cleansings lack of free speech where many websites and apps are banned, restrictions on expression of self and religion, etc.) And the list goes on and on. Of course, I understand that depending on the perspective the same country can be seen as a terrorist state or a protector of the free world, but to say that US is "committing blunt acts of terrorism" is really a stretch. As a country that is a part of many multinational treaties and bodies, the US does not work in a vacuum. It's far from perfect or free from bias toward self-interest, but it's still the largest democracy in the world and is not (and cannot because of its constitution) working for the interest of few individuals like terrorists, dictators or tyrants or a totalitarian regime.

@ibrahimwasy3443, May there be peace in the Middle East and everywhere else. 🤲🕊️☮️🇮🇱🇵🇸🤝

Hi @johnalden5821, you are right in that stereotypes are not always reflections of reality. That said, the limited number of interviewees also don't reflect the views of Italians-at-large. In other words, not all Italians are judgmental just like not all Americans are overweight and eat fast food everyday. Please do not write off Italy based on what a handful of interviewees in this video have said. It's a beautiful country with friendly people! 😄

@talkintothemic Right, most Italians love, envy and are grateful to Americans, who if not for them we would be speaking German now. I have seen other videos the same as yours where Italians appreciated the States, and the readers were amazed at the positive comments from Italians. Maybe you shouldn't have touched the food button, on that we are terrible.

Point taken! It was free, but will be more careful with the music selection next time.😆

This is quiet anti-semitic...if I understand you right.

this is right and left-wing shit nothing to to with normal people

You don't HAVE to say it... Anyone with eyes can see

Even if what you say about the availability of weapons is true, Italy is currently in 12th place in Europe for feminicides.

@@alemassa6632 Femicide isn’t the World Cup. Defending your ranking is nothing to be proud of

"Defend your ranking"... what kind of talk is that?? Being twelfth is not being first as you want to imply.

Italy has one of the lowest rates of femicide and crime in Europe and the world, despite the mafia.

That was clever dear

Let's also remember that not all of Italy was a friend of Hitler, just like not all Americans were members of the KKK. 🕊☮

proud of my country being in the Axis

Only Mussolini, even among the fascists at that time there were many who didn't like Hitler at all. Mussolini was an opportunist, his brother-in-law Ciano didn't like the Nazis at all. Italy had about 45,000 Jews in 1939. This is the country that was occupied by the Germans where less than half were deported, this was because the Italian population hid them.

Crazy?
