As a British person I have to comment; I found this video very fair and balanced and I thought the answers to your questions were all rooted in facts and not speculation or opinion. Very enjoyable listening/watching! I think I have heard Ed Sheeran on the radio in every country I've visited in the past two or three years, it's taken me aback each time, but there are many who remix his music with theirs so I guess his sound is quite "portable", to coin a phrase.

Next should be: - What do Spaniards think about the Portuguese? - What do Spaniards think about the Italians? - What do Spaniards think about the Greeks?

Totalmente de acuerdo, soy enfermero y tengo pacientes ingleses que llevan aquí viviendo un mínimo de 10-15 años (algunos 20-25 años) y no aprenden nada de español. Tu no puedes hacer eso en su país ni en otro porque te resultaría todo tremendamente difícil y terminarías por volver a tu país de origen. Pueden ser personas súper agradables y simpáticas. Pero no pueden ir con el inglés por delante cuando viven aquí. Lo digo por experiencia propia, de verdad que de 20 pacientes ingleses que veo a la semana (en la sanidad pública), solo dos hablan español, el resto, dice 4 palabras. Y repito, llevan una media de 15-20 años aquí. Se les trata de la mejor manera posible, pero tu en su país no puedes hacer eso ni de coña. Yo creo que tienen en parte una superioridad moral interiorizada de que con el inglés pueden ir a todo lado, y no es así. Aún así, recalco que son personas amables y muy educadas. Pero se adaptan al país donde están cuando quieren y en lo que les conviene

Well thank you. I am a Brit and have a Dutch wife. I think it's all a matter of who you meet. We've had two visits from Dutch guests. The first one, from Nijmegen was a force of nature and extremely outgoing and a real wildfire personality. We've recently had another friend visit also from Nijmegen and she is far more insular and quiet natured. I guess you can say the same about anyone really from anywhere. I used to live in the States and not everyone there is obnoxious. However. I digress. I think it depends where you visit in the UK too. London is a hard, fast city and can be overwhelming. Other places are more sleepy. It's interesting to listen to other countries residents and hope they don't get dragged into steroptypes.

I'm sure he mentioned the 'Invicible Armada' at the end of his comment. No doubt Spanish view of history is different than the British view of history and for sure we emphasise different things at our schools. I can imagine it may not even appear in the Spanish curriculum just as many things important to other nations don't appear in ours. Either way, a bit late in the day to debate something that happened in the 1500's. There's a whole new generation of Spanish football fans who can't even remember the penalty shootout loss in Euro 96'!

And what do the British think of Spaniards? I like them! ^^

The food thing is old hat. It's true that, at home, the Brits are a bit clueless at cooking. But to eat out? It is the best country in the world. London is better than Madrid, Paris or New York for restaurants. The legacy of empire and having little in the way of indigenous food culture has meant anything is possible here. London has more Indian restaurants then Delhi and Mumbai combined.

I was thinking that. I lived it Spain for many year and the food was great but you get the impression, the better the food historically the less open they are to new food. Places like Spain and Italy have great food but I think nations with worse food (UK, USA etc), seem to have adopted foreign cultures more readily as a result ending up with some great choice. Having said that, I'd take fish 'n chips over paella any day but 90% of our taste is emotional anyway isn't it. You're never going to top the 3 or 4 key dishes you grew up with.

Probably seems a bit weird if you live there and there's a nation of people who constantly seem to be unable to work balconies!

@@marcosturla8716 Basta con estas cosas de reclamar territorios, y derecho autodeterminación. Bueno, las reclamaciones territoriales y los derechos de autodeterminación son legítimos, están contemplados constitucionalmente en numerosas cartas magnas de distintos países y son reclamos que se abrogan los distintos países que se puedan sentir agraviados, o invadidos o robados en ese aspecto. Como pueda ser el caso de Argentina con las Malvinas o en el caso de España con Gibraltar. Otra cosa es llevar a cabo un cambio de régimen político y de administración nacional en un determinado territorio como consecuencia de una acción militar efectiva para llevar a cabo tal cambio. Personalmente tanto en el caso de Malvinas como en el de Gibraltar estoy en contra de una acción militar al respecto. Pero la reclamación es legítima, histórica y geográficamente fundamentada y ahí está. Que se consiga mas o menos por la vía de la diplomacia ya es otro tema.

I have been Spain many times Spain's people are cold, no so in Andalusia and Tenerife, but other parts the people are cold, Spanish people donot know alot about the British, but say we are cold, however its beyond that, we have that sigma personality, and British people only talk to people of our level, so if we are educated , ambitious, goal oriented, career minded, high growth mindset, all these means having standards and values, if the British see no one is on our level, we judge someone in the first 3 or 5 minutes talking with that person, so to avoid any small talk or nonsense talk, the British will avoid talking, if the conversation is of value, an intelligent conversation, but it's not just British, even Poland it's the same, in Poland there is no one starting small talk, same in England, if the British don't know that person, we don't talk to anyone, small talk, or not, if however an intelligent conversation, maybe politics, science, history, math, sociology/psychology and etcetera... But Spain need to understand no small talk here, we just tell people how it is, we British tell you very directly, not to be rude, but to show value is put on intelligence first, intelligent conversations Much of Spain being an extraverted society, England is more introverted, so British are going to be direct with people, util people get to know us, however it is not just the British

Spain is still very racist. You will be treated according to how light or dark skinned you are, what your accent is, what passport you have, and whether the Spanish think you have money or not. How you dress and what sort of bag or luggage you have with you can also affect how they treat you. Basically, being in Spain is like going back to the 1950s in terms of the attitudes of many people who are older and by older I mean over 35-40 so really not that old. Younger Spanish people are different in large part due to having access to the internet which has helped them to be aware of other ways of thinking and being. However, there is a lack of respect that is pervasive in Spanish society even today. Respect for others and respect for self is simply not taught by most parents, teachers, employers in Spain. It´s simply absent.

Yes, it really is. Many are quite a bit darker than me, but still think of themselves as being white and superior and look down on people who might look Arab, Indian, Black etc. and make many assumptions about them. Also, Spanish education is abysmal and many people who might be darker skinned who come to Spain are in fact much better educated, yet treated as if they are expected to be uneducated or less educated or not expected to be professionals. Many Spanish people do look very Arab or North African, but they try to dress and act as Western as they can to offset this. Dye their hair blonde, whatever. In their psyche, they are white and don´t like to mention or talk about their Arab or other heritage and try to forget their heritage. @@AtomicMushroomz

I don´t know, I get mistaken by Brazilians and sometimes by Austrians for being Brazilian. I´ve had Spanish people thinking the same. However I am not Latin! Some Spanish are not sure and think I might be Arab. I´ve had Lebanese people tell me I could ´pass´for Lebanese. Iranians have mistaken me for being Iranian. I´m not from any of these countries! Many Spanish people see themselves as superior to Latin Americans. They see large numbers of people from Latin America coming to live and work in Spain and though they speak the same language, many Spanish people see themselves as being superior to Latin Americans and believe their way of speaking Spanish is better or the correct way and generally look down on Latin Americans. Many Spanish people don´t like jobs being taken by people from other countries, and yet, it´s often immigrants that are much more motivated and work much harder than many Spanish people do. That´s just a fact. Many Spanish waiters don´t mind serving Germans, Scandinavians, and the more white and blonde the better, but resent having to serve someone with a darker skin colour, often forgetting that they are actually darker skinned than the person they are serving. The preference is white and blonde and then others depending on how light or dark skinned they are and how much they think you are likely to spend and how much you are likely to leave in tips. It´s all about feelings of superiority (over Latin, Arab, muslims, blacks, darker skinned etc) or inferiority (feelings of inferiority and willingness to serve Germans, Scandinavians, Americans if they have to and so on...) and ofcourse cash. The attitude of many Spanish people is that they don´t really want foreigners in their country, but they do very much want their cash. It´s only in European countries, and especially in Spain, that people will ask me where I was born. Nationality is not enough for them, they want to know where you were born so they can decide where they they think you really are from and then treat you accordingly. I was born in the UK and am treated better once they´ve found this out than before they find this out. Even people in their 20s and 30s will do this, repeatedly ask, but where were you born??? @@dominicdannies7482
