I’m Dutch-American with dual citizenship (born in Nederland and raised in the US) and my family was in s’Hertogenbosch speaking English because my brother doesn’t really speak Dutch and at 10 is a walking American stereotype. A Dutch man came up to us and asked us if we were trump supporters and whether we were looking for a McDonald’s. We immediately switched to Dutch and he seemed rather abashed.

There's some Americans who think some Americans act too fake and dramatic too. Or feel like they have to avoid people because of that. It's partly cause it's influenced by entertainment and social media. Idk about you thinking most Americans are nice. You said there's plenty of mean Americans too. There's plenty of bullying, telling people to die, and rioting from America. I saw some comments saying bullying was good, needed, and "solves problems". Part of the meanness is from some them thinking they're heroically standing up for something when they not, shoving their views, that they can't be wrong, or thinking they can do whatever even mistreating others in the name of "freedom". Or thinking they're entitled to mistreat others if their life is bad, they have problems, or are a victim. Or blindly believing too much who social media or media vilifies and dogpiling on those people. Like how Hana Kimura killed herself cause she was bullied so much cause the reality tv show she was on wanted to depict her bad. And I'm not just talking about just Americans, but anyone cause I've seen bad behavior from around the world. Such as Isaac Butterfield, who is Australian, making videos just to bully and scream at people. Such as at fat people.

+SMNL019 The simple answer is that it is cultural. Americans believe in optimism, positivity, and pride. They also believe in the idea of public decorum. So americans will argue about politics, religion, philosophy, etc. among their friends or family but they tend to not argue with strangers if not necessary. Americans believe its not worth the effort. However, there is a time and place for everything. Americans form unions and organizations vocalizing their opinions. Protests are common, businesses have a complaint hotlines, the Business Bureau is bombarded with complaints, there are forums and petitions for nearly every problem in society. So it is false to say Americans are agreeable but it is true that Americans will not argue or vocalize one on one about sensitive topics as they believe an awkward moment may ensue and potential clients/friends may not come to fruition.

Then it started to rain heavily and a man named Parrell saw that I was lost and asked if I wanted a ride on his BICYCLE back to my hotel for a half pack of ciggies. He ended up giving me a rain coat and told me some of his life story. He had lost his bakery and was going through some tough times but still helped me out for just a pack of ciggies and an exchange of stories.

Funny to hear them talk of intolerance as when I was there the natural born Dutch resented the large number of immigrants that came there and lived off their high taxes.....they also were very proud of the provinces they were raised rather than the unified Netherlands.

And if you can, how long did it take you to learn? I mean, I grew up near LA, so I've been around a plethora of languages and have been accustomed to hearing languages I don't understand my whole life. However, I can see how hearing a new language could be a bit jarring to someone from Buttfuck Nowhere, USA. Heck, I'm the first Asian some of my girlfriend's family has ever seen, and they don't live too far from the USA/Mexico border. They also speak Spanish to me as if I'm fluent in it; it's an understandable mishap for people from super homogenous areas in the world. And yes, there are areas like this in the US, too. As for the tourists you encountered, they're clearly idiots. Korea is arguably the easiest Eastern country to navigate with only English. There's English written everywhere, there's English-only tourist centers, and nearly every younger person in Korea has at least a rudimentary grasp of the language. Those tourists were an intellectual outlier.

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel to 40 countries (I am Canadian) including The Netherlands. And the biggest factor I’ve taken away is this: North Americans tend to be more ‘forward’ and smiley than the rest of the world. It doesn’t mean other cultures and countries aren’t friendly...they just don’t smile or engage for no reason. Which, I understand also. Personally, I love the dutch and their open culture. My last serious gf was born in Netherlands and spoke fluent dutch...and she was very typical of the straight-forward and open minded culture of the people. As for Americans, I love them but they DEFINETLY have the (and I’m hugely generalizing) habit of flag waving more than other cultures. And they tend to (again, generalizing) be brazen about speaking English and expecting the rest of the world to, also. Myself, I always pick up a handful of phrases of the language of where I’m going, out of respect. I find Americans tend to expect and almost demand you speak English, wherever you are. Im a musician and worked on cruise ships with many different cultures-and they almost ALL contained people who were bi-lingual, if not knowing many more languages. And conversely, the Americans tended to only speak English-and not care otherwise. Many of my co-workers said ‘English (ne American) is the language of business, so I learned it.’ Russia was the biggest surprise for me, personally. They come across as very dour people, but if you take the time to befriend them and chat, they are very warm and open. They just don’t fake niceness or sincerity-which in the long run is an admirable trait.

lol when Dutchies say they think all Americans are obese, as if there aren't a lot of people struggling with obese in our country too. A stereotype I have on Americans is that, like other foreigners as well, can't name another city from the Netherlands they've been to. Everyone just goes to Amsterdam, which is why it's too crowded.

and the “happy and cool” is why they think Americans are fake, some can really be like that but in general it is ironic because if someone isn’t like that in America they think something is wrong when really they’re being genuine.

Second Amendment was established in order to have a citizen-run militia in case of a war-gone-bad or if the government needs to be rebelled against. Apparently, the citizens have the right and duty to rebel against the government if anything happens. Can't do that without weapons. edit: This is to answer that young couple's, and any other's, confusion as to why it exists in the US Constitution.

No, some people make stereotypes to just bully people, out of fear and paranoia, are baseless, or goes against facts. Stereotypes can and have been harmful such as inciting people to assault, enslave, or bully people over them. Like some people killing, mutilating, or r4ping albinos in Tanzania because of superstition and stereotypes.

It just sounds like they don't know what having compassion for the fellow man is Being polite or greeting someone with a smile can change someone's whole day

As a Dutch, I view Americans as friendly and polite people. Indeed, they seem to be a bit patriotic sometimes (more openly than other countries seem to be) but not specifically that religious. You do have a lot of religious American but the number of atheists also seems to be increasing. Americans aren't really familiar with others, but seem to be willing and interested in learning about them. It has more extremes as well. Everything is bigger and super spacious. Have you seen some American houses? It's crazy! American food is served in bigger portions and often less healthy than in other countries (in my idea). A lot of food appears to be processed. What we shouldn't forget though, is the rich culture of the US which is mostly Western but also influenced by other cultures. If you look beside Hollywood and the fat hamburgers, there's a lot more which is most of the time left behind. Think of jazz, blues,, holidays such as thanksgiving and christmas (the way the world celebrates it today is greatly influenced by the US). It's also the origin of many art movements e.g. Pop Art and Pollock's abstract expressionism. Everything is bigger and super spacious. Have you seen some American houses? It's crazy! The gorgeous nature deserves to be mentioned as well. I'm not saying America is my favourite country, because it's not. But I see too many people bashing on the US, having a way too low view of this beautiful country. A lot of our culture is influenced by the American culture too. It's a country, a lot younger than most of Europe. Let's not forget that. Therefor it's not very surprising that it doesn't have such an extensive history like Italy or France. Lastly, my apologies for my poor English. I'm not a native English speaker. Feedback would be appreciated!

Votre anglais est impeccable!! I was born in Manhattan of yore. Up until the Fifties the city was suffused with Dutch culture. There was a Dutch Reform Church on our block, a Huguenot Church downtown, Schuylers and Vanderbilts were our economic royalty while the Roosevelts had their feet in both centuries. Need I mention landmarks such as the Tappan Zee, Van Cortlandt Park and of course Harlem? My mother's best friend was a Martha Detjen, She had a Christmas tree with real candles. In school we were taught that Peter Zenger was a forerunner of the Americaan Revolution. Of course every schoolboy knew who Peter Zenger was. Canal Street remains as testament to Dutch tenacity in face of stubborn granite! Entre temps quand j'etais jeune je faisais la navette entre Schiphol et Le :Bourget avec KLM en avion a helices.

I genuinely appreciate your comment. It's very refreshing to hear as an American. We have plenty of flaws. But so many of our negative stereotypes are misunderstood, or blown way out of proportion. You also rarely hear anyone adding any positives, other than we tend to be friendly & polite, which apparently some people also have a problem with. Don't worry about your English.

With the comment about us smiling all the time and being friendly as being fake, that is not true! Most of us are friendly and we like chatting. Yes, there are some areas, like northeast (New York area) to where some people may not be as friendly, but down here in the south where I am (Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas area we are usually really nice! As far as the comment on bicycles and cars.....again, I live here in Texas where we have a lot of room and things aren't built as close, so bicycles aren't as much of an option, like it is in other countries where they are things built close together. Over here, we can have at least a couple of miles to the closest grocery store or restaurant. We do use bicycles, but mostly for exercise!

I realize i am not the average American, so much so I may want to explore other countries like the Netherlands to resettle. I DO think that overall, the Dutch interviewed have grasped some of the essence that is most Americans, I imagine through direct experience with Americans.
