Americans are known for a variety of traits, both positive and negative. Here are 10 things that Europeans might find surprising about Americans:
A user took it to the forum, and asked “Americans, what is something us Europeans aren’t ready to hear?”, and here are the top responses.
Obesity
“You guys are gaining weight too”, said one.
“Dude, obesity is a serious problem in Ireland. We tend to make fun of America, but in reality, we’re just as bad. Seeing a slim and healthy person in their 30’s is depressingly rare”, added another user!
Racism
“Racism isn’t an American thing. Not only does it absolutely exist in Europe, Europeans are the ones who brought it over to America in the first place”, said one.
“You are also incredibly, incredibly racist”, said another!
“Being racist against Romani does in fact count as racism”, said another user.
Paying for Public Restrooms
“Americans don’t pay to go to a public restroom”, said one.
Free Water
“WATER SHOULD BE FREE”, said one user.
Terrible Food
“Doesn’t know how to season food. Proceeds to dump lawry’s/pepper/garlic on everything and smoke it for a day”, said one user!
“Conquered the known world for spices. Still doesn’t know how to season food” said another.
Need to Use Deodorant
“You guys stink, use deodorant. I mean, I don’t get it. You can’t just spray cologne over it”, said one user!
“More of you need to learn what deodorant is and use it daily”, said another!
Not So Sophisticated
“You’re not more sophisticated than us. Just more pretentious”, said one user.
“You’re not as sophisticated as you think you are”, said another!
Smoking Kills
“You guys smoke too much”, said one user.
“I can go weeks without seeing anyone smoke. In Europe I can go seconds”, added another.
Culture
“Without Hollywood, most of your cultural references would be Monty Python skits”, said one user.
Obsession with Americans
“You care about us way more than we care about you”, said one user.
“We don’t think about you even a quarter of how often y’all seem to think about us”, said another.
