The thing is that usually (as we can also see from this video) the stereotypes we have about the US are true. While the ones you have about European countries are 50-50 because some of them you get them from the people who immigrated to the US 50yrs ago, so they are no longer true. For example the stereotypes that you have in the US about my country (Italy), 90% of them were true maybe 30 or 40yrs ago and they are no longer. At least that's what me and some people that I know from other parts of Europe have experienced.

I think most Americans can name a country in Europe because most of us are of European descent. My school and most schools made you read a lot of English literature like Dickens and Shakespeare and so one so at the very least people would know England. We generally study WWI, WWII, and the French Revolution. I suspect very little is taught about Africa or Asia anywhere in Europe, USA or Australia because it’s dominated by white people. As a POC I feel like the Europeans in this video are speaking from a place of privilege even if they don’t realize it.

So tired of the stereotypes . I am probably an outlier, but (1) I knew where all the countries in the world were, and most of their capitals, shortly after I got my first world atlas, at age 10. (2) Americans cook at home most of the time and usually only eat at fast food places for convenience, like when they are traveling or to save money. (3) Most places in the United States are quite safe -- the exception being some low-income, high-crime areas in the cities. Even then, most places in those cities are fine. (4) Americans are raised to be civil to people they meet and do this regardless of whether or not they are "happy all the time" -- it's just considered polite. (5) The U.S. is about on par in terms of consumer tech with other developed nations I have been to. So, I find the stereotypes about the U.S. are about as accurate and informative as "Japanese all bow incessantly" or "Germans wear lederhosen and eat sausages at every meal." In other words -- not very accurate or informative.

I worked in local news for 7 years and worked with many school districts and saw so many advancements in education, and just more that is offered to students, so I'm not exactly sure why so many lack what I would considered pretty basic knowledge of world history and geography. I also think that foreigners think of America as WASP, whereas America is made up of so many ethnic/cultural groups, and if you come from a family who immigrated to the US only a few generations ago they'd know about other countries. Heck, anyone who's ever visited New Orleans can see the influence of other cultures/countries everywhere they go.

Here is my opinion on these stereotypes. 1) I know geography pretty well and most people I know do too. 2) Fast food and convenience food, in general, are definitely a problem, but I mostly eat at home and many people do too. 3) I live in Missouri and I have a conceal and carry. I've never shot anyone and I don't worry about my children being killed in school. With that said I do think that guns are way to accessible and we need better gun laws. I do get irritated when people say that the US is unsafe. I live in Southwest Missouri and trust me, no one is going to hurt you. There are dangerous areas and safe areas like every country on the face of the earth. The Media is a big part of why that mass shooting narrative gets spread. Don't get me wrong, it does happen and we need to do more as a country but the US is often portrayed as if you will get off the plane and immediately get shot. It's not the wild west. 4) I am a very outgoing talkative person but my wife is very shy and awkward around strangers. I would say that our outgoing nature is do to our curiosity and how we are raised. I was taught to be polite and respectful and part of that is talking to others. Most of the people I know are from the South and the Midwest. Hospitality is ingrained in us from a young age. I can't speak for the rest of the country but that mentality certainly holds true for the South and Midwest. 5) I really want the Japanese toilets in the US. I would say we are on par with the major economies of the world in our tech access and expertise. I would say countries like Japan and Korea seem to be ahead of us in the use of high tech especially in daily life. Overall I liked this video.

She responds by saying we dont learn about other Countries and maps and she cant even name our States on the map even. Noone said one must name them on a spot all 100% I can tell you we absolutely understand Continents and can indeed name Countries perhaps not all especially on a spot but we certainly could name one if asked.

Why is the Japanese woman talking in Korean? I thought like "so she can't speak in English..." but then should she just speak in hers first language?

@John Obama! I know I’m just trying to think of a possible reasoning. Maybe she is Japanese but grew up in Korea. But then you’d wonder why they didn’t just find someone who is Japanese from Japan. Who knows haha

Iam from India. I can't say for every states but I think in the stranger scenario parents usually teach u some ground rules 1: Can't trust random stranger's on streets 2 : Don't go with strangers 3 : Don't take anything from strangers even if they offer u. I guess it's almost similar to whole Asia.

Same in the uk… everyone I know teach their children the same. As an adult now if someone is asking directions or something I’ll answer. Or if someone just says morning while passing me on the street I’ll say it back mainly because it’s only old people. Otherwise I wouldn’t like to be stopped in the street feeling like I’m playing 21 questions with a stranger It feels like those ppl who try to sell you things 😂

There are other countries?!?

In terms of freedom, France can't be compared to the US. The freedom of speech for example, is very framed in France. In my country you can get sued for your opinions. You wont't go to jail but you'll have a fine, a financial penalty if your opinion doesn't match the _"good thinking"_ , especially if your talking about arabic and black people or about jews.

"There are a lot more freedom in america" And that's how I know questions were written by americans. Only americans are obsessed with this weird idea.

The "Japanese" person is speaking Korean. Must be a Zainichi Korean.

Wow the Egyptian is so good looking and has a mysterious charisma.

Here’s World Friends doing what it always does and making videos about the U.S. again. Are you guys obsessed over there or something? 🙄 Aren’t you guys tired yet? Do another North American country! Canada and Mexico exists as well. Give it a break

Why japanese girl speaks korean?

As à French , i can name every country and their flag ( capitals too) , but USA....i dont really know exactly more than 20 states. Im so poor.

Nobody even eats McDonald’s or kfc these are stereotypes… maybe the Poor ones but the middle class and above eat real quality food

Indonesians are more friendly than American,, wecan be so crawded in a puclic transportation talking to the people we met for the first time.. So, I think the finland girl would be more shock if she is here... 🤣

Every country has diff problems, different people, bad places, good places.....Those stereotypes are true and not true in every country. For example, I have lived in America for 15 years I have never seen a gun. My friend in Finland and Sweden had guns in their heads. So....

I think the major issue with European countries and American geography is that most countries in Europe are smaller than individual states in America. Granted, there are many people who just suck at geography no matter what, like it was mentioned in the video.

As an American who loves guns, nothing would make me happier than having more gun restrictions. That shit should have happened when columbine happened. I just want to feel safe and having guns readily available hasn't made things safer.

It's interesting that so many don't view the US as a high tech country. So much of high tech originated in the US: electronic computers, the internet, transistors, etc. I suppose it's because many other countries seem to be better at actually applying it to everyday life.

Honestly, where do they find these people and where do they find the American person? People in other countries can't say things without getting arrested or talked to by the police. I have had people try to rob me in almost every European country i have been in. You constantly have to think about the people around you who are trying to steal your stuff. Also, the countries are getting overrun right now. The only reason that other countries have reasonable health care is because America creates the treatments. I have also heard so many horror stories about people in other countries having to wait a year or more for treatment and dying while doing it or just not getting treatment because they are too old to have that hip replacement and it isn't a good use of the funds. That and killing all down syndrome children in the womb in a lot of countries. Ending peoples lives because that is cheaper than giving them care. There are neighborhoods in America that aren't safe, but most of America is very safe, let their kids walk to school alone, play in the yard alone, leave your door unlocked kind of safe. I understand that the people in this video are just talking about what they see in shows and so i am understanding of that, but they have no idea what they are talking about.

Idk what parts of Europe you’ve been too but have you thought they’ve singled you out because you look and act American and therefore an easy target because you’re in a foreign country? I’ve been to places in Europe and have never been approached by anyone. I live in England and have never been stopped or attacked by anyone. Obviously it does happen but not that often. I also grew up getting myself to school, college, work only people I’ve had trouble with was the gypsies who camped at the end of my road but nothing major.

@Ads That is absolutely why. That would not happen in America. That was my point. There are bad neighborhoods and some cities that are more dangerous in America, but for the most part people aren't trying to rob you everywhere in train stations or parks or most places. There was also a guy who was clearly having an issue in London going around saying he was going to stab people. Things have gotten worse in some America cities very recently, but that is not normal. Most of America is safe compared to most of Europe. I am not saying that everyone in Europe is anything. There just seems to be a lot more situations where someone is going to rob you. No thanks.

@@hjbau1350 Honestly, it's the same in every touristic area, whether it is in Europe or USA (I can't speak for Asia, Africa, South America, Middle East and Oceania, I have not been there). If you're a tourist, you usually stand out and are approched methodically by robbers. So obviously, a foreigner on vacation in a country has a higher chance of getting robbed than someone from said country. So it's not That Europe is unsafe, or USA is unsafe, it's just that you are a tourist in a touristic area where robbing is "easy".

lol they just a bunch of haters usa baby
