This One Hurt American Reacts to 'What's The Dumbest Thing An American Has Ever Said To You pt. 1'

If you came to my country and listened to americans coming off cruise ships, you would turn around and walk away, with no will to live ... 9 out of 10 times you are just staring in disbelief, expecting them to say 'Hey, just kidding' ... but they don't ... ever.

While in the US, my Tai Chi instructor (a reasonably well educated 60 years old woman mind you) asked me: Are there any buildings in Romania?

In 1972 when I was 5, my Dad worked for an American owned steelworks as an engineering inspector and we were about to relocate to Phoenix. The company sent a delegation from the US. They were shocked that we had television in Scotland. We invented the damn thing! They were also surprised that we had electricity. Whilst their own factory used Arc furnaces. Needless to say, we never moved to Arizona!

american greatness at its best
AGAIN
🎃🇺🇸🤡

This is what happens when you come from a country that is separated from the rest of the world by two great oceans. It doesn't explain why they don't understand Canada and Canadians, but that bubble is real for many of them, not just those in LA. But you know there is something very very wrong, when geography and history teachers don't know their subjects.

Sorry but does America have a education system????

I work in Hotel in Germany and one day an american couple visit us, as guests. We had some nice conversation sometimes and one day, they ask me how is it to live in socialism 😮? I tell him Berlin Wall is broke 35 years ago.. 😅 yes i know but all in USA say we live in socialism 🙈 what u learn in school?? I explain them that its called Social market Economy 😊

I'm Swedish, and all I can say is that it is so refreshing to see an American have the same reaction as most of us to the BS.

Some of this feels unbelievable yet I watched certain American political podcast or news and they say certain thing that makes you double take (most recent thing is seeing a american host say seriously that Canada is still part of the british empire, like what the?) then I remember those videos and think oh unfortently these are likely true.

An American tourist, a man dressed in MAGAt merch clothing came up to me, furiously pointing at me and almost yelling « you’re an Hamas supporter!» I was wearing my keffiyeh/ palestine scarf , a red and white one, and he said that only Hamas soldiers and people who supported Hamas, were wearing keffiyeh’s. He reached out to grab my arm, but I was too fast, and got away. He looked as if he was going to reach the boiling point, and yelled at me that it’s illegal to be wearing keffiyeh’s and that I should be arrested. But here in Norway it’s not illegal, neither is it illegal to protest in favor of Palestine. When I told him this, he said that he would not be coming back to Norway, and that now he « knew « that there were only « communists « living here.

the last guy is so right. I'm from South Africa and the most questions is the roads one, do we have pet lions, do we go to school, so we live in huts..IF WE HAVE WATER....Do we ride elephants 💔🧍‍♀️

I play an online game with PvP aspect... just this week I was commenting on some change on our "world" chat and used the word "civilise" - I was corrected and told ... "oh and by the way, it's civiliZe, just saying'"
....After a life time of teaching English to various European groups - Spanish speaking, French, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish... and soemtimes throwing in an extra class emphasising that I teach British or UK English and pointing out some various differences between that and American usage of English, and spelling, talking about language as a "living thing" that moves and changes... depending on context, culture etc..
I really was taken aback to find that Americans are not taught the basics... this person picking me up on spelling didn't even know the difference between a noun, a verb, and an adverb... 😀There are idiots everywhere, but I really love how often Americans who've barely managed high school and work in retail will correct lawyers, doctors and other experts in their own special fields... the confidence is fantastic... (as in fantasy)

One lasting memory from my travels in Merika: I had a disagreement with a Yank who spent several minutes trying to convince me that Australia is the capital of Sydney. Looking back, I realise that I should have been more impressed that she'd heard of either. Mostly I got a blank look when I said I was from Australia.

To be fair, PoC hear a lot of very dump questions from Europeans as well about that small country called africa…

Not just isolated, also insular.

Spaniard here. Americans are the most illiterate people in the world. As someone whose ancestors funded most of their states, you can’t imagine the stupid shit they believe about my country. A few examples: Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, Florida, California… are SPANISH WORDS. And no, we’re not Mexicans.

Yeah, the Canadian one about the South Park one is one if you look at the show, the Canadian had to move away from their mouth. The hat is from a different time. Where there was more knowledge used and learned from newspapers in fashion, then they learned from the computers of today. And these world they seem to stop learning things that are less than 10 to 5 years ago.

I saw another of these where on social media an American MD , or that's how he described himself, asked if Germany was still part of Europe after WWII?? The reactor, an American, went into a 3 minute rant, which was hilarious.

What gets me is when Americans insist on telling black people in England that they are African-American.

In a country with 340 million unfortunately you are going to many dumb ones. But you find many British people who will ask similar stupid questions. English people often say Welsh people only speak Welsh so English people can't understand them. I also convinced many guy i worked with they needed a passport to get into Scotland

Americans don't know what socialism and communism are.

Oopsie, you said Canada was not in America

The amish are socialist in my opinion. Only america views socialism as the devil. Yet many of them are ok with fascism.

Well I'm Greek and I was an exchange student in America.I got to say I heard A lot ..and I mean a lot of these! Specially about modernization of the rest of the world !
Daily questions about if we have..basic appliances in my country (cars ,washing machines....),to ....fashion trends (the awe that we wear jeans was totally authentic...!!).
I also heard that we don't exist.I don't exist because apparently I am ancient and ancient Greek is a dead language ???
It was so ridiculous that I couldn't be offended!!!But honestly it's sad!!!
70% of that is due to your educational system(trust me ,the one and only greek ancient history class I attended ,still haunts me till this day...)and 30% lack of interest for the rest of the world !!!!!

Spanish here. I lived in the US for a while and lots of people told me Spanish is a language, not a nationality.

Sorry, I don't see what was wrong about Falafel. Why would it be asked because of how the speaker lady looks? Its a Middle Eastern food isn't it? I don't see the connection . I guess I must be dumber than I thought , so help me out please.

Loved your genuine reaction. Kimbo from Australia.

An immediate reaction when you hear a Septic accent is to slow down and try to assess what kind of Septic you're talking to.

Where are the American doors isn't a bad question. Americans are very aware that Canada is both French and England. When confronted with racist this is French And this is English, its not unreasonable OR STUPID for an American who has mosts likely never been on vacation in his entire life to ask that question out of an attempt to not offend. Unlike Europe, Americans never go on vacations. I for example have never left the country in my entire 50 years of life. My vacations are renting hotel rooms for a weekend at my local Florida beach. 50 years old and I have NEVER gone anywhere. You in Europe. For Americans, vacation is renting a hotel room at their local beach for the weekend. Two days.

The dumbest thing is that people from the US are calling themselves’americans’. Even worse is it that other citizens froms other countries do the same. Disgusting!!

we don't think the septic tanks are thick we know they are thick

If people do not like socialism then they shud be --- denied access to public roads, --- refused help from the police, the armed forces and any politician --- because these are all paid for with TAXES.

Far more annoying, and this is not just Americans, this also happens where I live in the Netherlands 200 km from Luxembourg, when they think our language is just weirdly spoken german like a local dialect.. It's a language, yes it has German and French loanwords.. Like every language has loanwords, but in many ways Luxemburgish is more different from German than Dutch is lol :|

Do you have roads in America ❤❤

Gringolandia el pais mas analfabeto del mundo.

Interesting to hear that the British corekt you about America. Whoud be interesting to hear what they have sad.
Swedish women in Sweden asking 😊

You could not feel inberest! No no no
All people in America is not your responsibility!!

I'm from New Zealand. I was in a bar in Portland, Oregon, minding my own business, asking for a beer, when a lady angrily interrupted to tell me I was "Faking." When I eventually couldn't ignore her anymore, I asked her what she was on about.
She told me I was faking my accent and that it wasn't even real, and I should stop because I wasn't impressing her. In fact, she told me fake accents were a complete turn off..., She got told to "Fuck Off!" in a fake accent.

I'm not sure if the "do you speak African" thing was racially motivated or just the dumbness of not realizing that Africa is a continent full of different countries rather than being an over all country. It felt to me more like the one who asked "What country are you in? Europe?" Had the same vibe to me.

Hi, a few days ago I was chatting online with somebody from the US and (I am from Argentina), we were talking about being American. ... they didn't understand that I live in Argentina, Argentina is a country that is in South America, in the American Continent. So... I'm Argentinian and American (for the continent)... they didn't understand it, 😒

I can’t stand it when they wish everyone Happy 4th of July or Happy Thanksgiving when they are in a foreign country

What a good-humoured response to the compilation, thank you 😊

To "Make America Great Again", they need to start with the education system.

on a social media reaction channel similar to this one an American said he hated people from Europe, when asked why replied they're ahead the US due to time zones why didn't they warn us about 9/11 i had to keep reading it over to make sure i hadn't imagined it.

So much stooopid

If an American asks if we have roads? Say “yes” and please don’t tell them about the jet packs and flying cars or they’ll want them too.

Their Litilary Above US 🧬

The best I’ve seen is a guy interviewing teenagers around 17/18 and asking, “when was the war in 1812?” I’m Australian, and whilst I know America has some brilliant people such as scientists, I’m a dumbfounded as to how many backward people there are as well. 🦘🇦🇺

They call their national league WORLD champinship!!!!! do we need to go further than that. They dont know what the entire WORLD is??
