    Ik kom uit Holland, Michigan en er is een grote tulpenfestival dat Tulip Time genoemd wordt. Bijna iedereen heeft Nederlandse afkomst (net zoals Nederlandse achternamen) en er zijn veel Nederlandse plaatsnamen bijvoorbeeld Holland, Zeeland, Groeningen, Drenthe, Vriesland, Overijssel, enzovoort. Tot voor kort werd er Nederlands nog gesproken, maar helaas niet meer, wat ik heel jammer vind. De oudere mensen zeggen altijd - in tegenstelling tot wat de Nederlander in deze video heeft gezegd - “if you ain’t Dutch you ain’t much”. Als kind dacht ik dat we Nederlanders waren, maar dat is helemaal niet waar. We waren waarschijnlijk de enige kinderen op school die geen Nederlandse achternaam hadden. Toch wilde ik nog steeds Nederlands leren. Ik vind het gewoon een geweldige taal. Bedankt voor de videos!

    Leon.... This has to be one of your best videos. Only you have the gift of getting strangers to share very good stories/ impressions. 🙏 As a current Californian who will be setting up a home in the Netherlands in a few years, I found the episode hilarious and 100% accurate. There were light-hearted responses and sobering ones as well. A few observations: 1) Pleasantries and superficiality are baked into American culture. As a 'global citizen', very few Americans today understand the difference between acquaintances vs friends. Friends requires a deep investment in the other person while acquaintances are generally 'low investment relationships - in large part' 2) @3:18 Absolutely, most Americans in business lack humility and rarely look outward to learn from others or other countries (former Fortune 500 director). Thereby, Americans tend to be very wasteful of resources and 'reinvent the wheel.' @3:36 That is ignorance masquerading as confidence/arrogance. 3) @8:14 In America, everything feels fleeting as the societal pace is fast/aggressive. @11:24 This moment really got to me. When I was at university with many international students, we gathered and met socially (not about school) but to get to know about one another on a personal level. No politics, no competition, but an opportunity to socialize (a skill many Americans don't understand in the true sense). I miss that cultural norm quite a bit and wonder is this sort of thing considered quaint or still part of Dutch culture. Thank you Leon and Mario for letting me experience this from California.

    I'm also a native Afrikaans speaker. After about a year of learning, I can understand the spoken Dutch at the speed seen in this video with about 80% comprehension. Once you get used to the sound changes, its relatively easy to follow. Understanding Dutch, however, is 100x easier than producing it since there are so many small differences that are irrelevant to the comprehension but critical to the production of the language.

    Hmm.... Ik erger me een beetje aan deze opmerkingen. Ik woon en werk al 24 jaar in Nederland en kwam hier als internationale docent die later met een Nederlander trouwde en zich vestigde in een van de zuidelijke provincies, hoewel ik nog steeds veel in het noorden werk. Ik heb altijd van mijn land gehouden en ben diep geworteld in mijn land, onze voorvaderen en moeders die veel hebben opgeofferd voor ons welzijn, voor het welzijn van degenen die na hen zijn geboren. En daarom ben ik DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). Mijn zesvoudig overgrootvader is John Adams, tweede president van de VS en eerste ambassadeur in Nederland. Gedurende mijn hele leven heb ik veel dierbare Amerikaanse vrienden en familie gehad die niets neps hebben over hen, hun overtuigingen of levensstijlen. En ze hebben leuke dingen gedaan voor hun gemeenschappen met zorgzame en gulle harten. De stereotypen die je hier hoort door commentaren van Nederlanders die in Amerika op vakantie zijn geweest, hebben gewoond en gewerkt, zijn interessant, maar alleen omdat ze voortkomen uit persoonlijke opvattingen en ervaringen in wat ze gelijk hebben over Amerika als een enorm land... dat wil zeggen, het is een slakom met veel verschillende opvattingen, culturen en gemeenschappen. [vertaald in het Engels] ... I'm a bit annoyed by these comments. I have been living and working in the Netherlands for 24 years and came here as an international teacher who later married a Dutchman and settled in one of the southern provinces, although I still work a lot in the north. I have always loved and am deeply rooted in my country, our forefathers and mothers who sacrificed much for our good, for the benefit of those born after them. And that's why I'm DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution). My six-time great-grandfather is John Adams, second president of the US and first ambassador to the Netherlands. Throughout my life I have had many dear American friends and family who have nothing fake about them, their beliefs or lifestyles. And they have done nice things for their communities with caring and generous hearts. The stereotypes you hear here through comments from Dutch people who have vacationed, lived and worked in America are interesting, but only because they stem from personal views and experiences in what they are right about America as being a huge country... that is, it being a salad bowl of many different views, cultures and communities.

    Ik wou dat de Amerikanen zich wat minder met Nederland zouden bemoeien. Dan hadden we minder polarisatie gehad, had ik in het Nederlands kunnen studeren, met veel minder klimaatprotesten en nog rustig sinterklaas kunnenvieren ook. Helaas denkt de Nederlandse bovenklasse daar anders over. Amerikanen die naar Nederland komen passen zich vaak ook weinig aan, waardoor ze vaak luidruchtig en opdringerig overkomen en niet of nauwelijks Nederlands spreken. De Amerikanen en de Nederlandse internationale positie hebben veel opgeleverd, maar de Amerikanisering gaat nu wel echt te ver.

In hindsight the enormous amount of money the people in America donate to that cause could have been put to better use on failing infrastructure, health care and sports. Inventing a sport at a time when travel to Europe was weeks by boat and not including those countries in your unknown sport and yet hyping up the Championship by calling it the World Series is enough to make anyone's butt hurt. You are totally justified to feel as you do and deserve a safe space to cope.

The lady that said someone in the Mall looked at her strangely when she asked for help. I’ll guarantee it was California. In NYC we have too much diversity to act that way. Also, NY’ers are more conservative than California. California ppl r superficial & NY’ers don’t really like them. Most Dutch speak English very well, so I’m not sure why she had a problem? Unless, the ppl she asked for help were kids. Adults here don’t act like that. Also, the guy that made the remark about the KKK no we don’t have those hooded guys walking around anymore since early 1980’s They wear regular clothes now & are called skinheads. Those kinds of ppl r mostly in the Mid-West or southern parts of U. S. The States have always had xenophobic issues with any outsider even white foreigners. Now it’s more Mexicans coming into the U. S. They’re fighting against. However, in past history Europe also had issues w/blacks , Indigenous Indians & Spanish. Europe just dropped the mistreatment of Africans sooner than the U. S. The U. S is still a young infant country. Why would you mimic a baby. I like the Dutch, not every American thinks the same. We’re raised by our parents & takes on their views.

    LOL I currently live in CA but have a home in southern USA. Southerners appear friendly BUT they are too friendly. They don't respect property boundaries and if they believe you are not using something, it will mysteriously wind up missing from your property. Most importantly, I have found most who speak about religion and their church are the ones who violate scripture most often and will lie when caught. Invest in video surveillance at your property and don't announce it. You will be surprised by what you see.

    :( lame, maar typische opmerkingen. Hoewel ik ook grappen over mijn land en cultuur genieten, is het toch treurig om te bedenken dat dit de standaard mening is over mensen vanuit de VS (dus de achtergrond voor mij als ik nieuwe mensen in Nederland ontmoet). Klinkt gewoon als received opinion, met weinig kritische inzicht daarachter. Jammer.

    My favorite line about Americans - 'Hamburgers and Robust People'. As a Californian, the In-N-Out Burger drive-through window will never be the same. Order Speaker: 'What would you like today???' Me: LOL, LOL, LOL, LOL. Order Speaker: Will you let me in on the joke? Me: 'It is a Dutch thing!'

    The land of unwalkable cities where everyone drives everywhere because there is no alternative and where the people who get no excersize are as big as the car parks and massive roads they have constructed- where you can drive through an ATM to get money for your McDonalds and you can go through your entire day while spending less than 10 minutes a day outside! And here I am using my legs like a sucker! I imagine being in Florida a finding it very empty! Just massive roads everywhere, nowhere to walk- nothing interesting outside the parks a car can take you too. Boring streets and neighbourhoods with no amenities!

    Wow. The generalizations and stereotyping in this were fascinating. Especially the lady who was critical of the meal portions. What about value for money? I thought the Dutch were known for being cheap, heh heh. Anyway, I’m tired of all this “Hello, how are you?” BS which Europeans in particular spread about us. It’s called “politeness.” I’ll take that over Dutch directness/rudeness anytime.
