I made watches for American companies, asked the buyer if they wanted roman or arabic numerals on the dial, they said they just wanted American numbers.

I am not that much into this sort of generalisation sorted by nationality. I have met many stupid people and some of them were Americans, some of them were not. And I have met many marvellous people and - behold - some of them were Americans and some of them were not. People are not marvellous or stupid due to their nationality, but due to their nature and lack of interest. Those people mentioned in the video would be exactly at the same level of dumbness even being transported elsewhere I assume.

Yes, but they act that way due to growing up in the U.S. where they teach them to be self centered bigots. And nobody said everyone from the U.S. anyways, this is just showing some people being idiots. A country where they don’t want to let anyone in and act like they shouldn’t ever help other countries, even though a majority of what they consume was made in other countries and they originally came from other countries.

One time, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was at her estate in Balmoral, Scotland, and some American tourists came along and asked her "have you met the Queen?" She said "No, but that Gentleman there has" and pointed to her protection officer. They asked the protection officer about her, and he said "she can be a bit cantankerous but shes nice" and then they took a selfie with them. HM said "I'd gove anything to be a fly on the wall when they get back!"

Yes, it is funny. It seems the joke went over many people's heads.

Out of interest I recently compared the news stories on a UK TV channel as compared to a US TV channel. For the UK I used the BBC evening bulletin and for the US I used the NBC one. The results were interesting. BBC Domestic stories: 7 (54%) Stories involving both the UK and a foreign country: 2 (15%) Purely foreign stories: 4 (31%) NBC Domestic stories: 9 (90%) Stories involving both the US and a foreign country: 1 (10%) Purely foreign stories: 0 (0%) I think that tells you all you need to know about the lack of knowledge that most Americans have about the world outside their borders.

@faithpearlgenied-a5517

True. I hate when people blame the education system. Now, I'm not saying it doesn't have a bearing on it and so does poor parenting, education should come from schooling AND parents. But I went to a pretty rubbish, low rated school in England, it wasn't terrible but wasn't good either. So I did what I could for myself. I went to the library. I watched documentaries to learn things. Since getting the Internet (in my late teens) I've used it to learn new things, facts, information, new skills etc and I have many hobbies and interests and see life as a constant lesson. You don't stop learning because you leave school, you don't use a bad school education as an excuse to be a stupid adult. We all have a brain and it can be fed information continuously. It's sad to me when grown adults say and do really stupid things, are too stupid to realise it and then when people call them out on it, blame their schooling. We have so much knowledge at our fingertips 24 hours a day. There's no excuse unless someone has special needs which prevent them from learning. Some people are just happy to be stupid because it's easy and seemingly lack the ability to self reflect. They always seem to be the most confident in themselves too :D the Dunning-Kreuger effect I suppose.

Even with a clock that has Roman numerals, it should still be perfectly easy to tell the time based on the position that the hands are in. Are there parts of America where no one uses analogue clocks any more? Also, the clock in the photo is at what looks like quite a large train station, so how did he fail to notice the dozens of digital clocks on all the departure boards when coming to the conclusion that the UK doesn’t have clocks with modern numbers.
