Hey Pandas, Tell Us The Most Popular Stereotype Of Americans Where You Are From (Closed)

My answer is this: stop with this nonsense. Didn't we just have this discussion? You know, the one where we discussed how posts like this were basically hostile and totally uncalled for? If I started a post ridiculing another country and its citizens, all hell would break loose and don't tell me this isn't true. And yes, we Americans can skip over these types of posts and comments, and very often most of us do. However, there are times when we're just not in the mood to forgive and forget, like today. I won't apologize for defending my country from this nonsense and if I'm down voted, so be it. This shiit (and it is complete shiit) gets so old and these comments are so unoriginal, it's not even funny. At the very least, come up with something we haven't heard yet. We may be stupid, but we recognize ignorant redundancy when we see it.

You're brainwashed from a very small child to think US is the land of freedom and the greatest country in the world. You literally make kids repeat the Pledge of Alliance in schools. You also have zero workers' rights, no maternity leave, no public health care. If you don't work all the time, you are seen as lazy.

It's the land of extremes. You got dirt poor and filthy rich to the point of "I take 3 minute flights instead of driving bc I have a private plane and I can", big queer communities and loud anti-human rights christians, great education & research and the dumbest idiots of all times.

I'm usually careful with stereotypes, but here is one I can wholeheartedly call "an American thing":
They can (and will) file a lawsuit for reasons that are unthinkable in Europe. They sue anyone, for anything. It's just not possible here.
And it's a bit of a running joke, for example if you've hurt yourself bumping against something, it's "Damn, if I lived in the U.S., I could sue whoever placed this object here and they'd pay me!"

hard right, trump-loving, american flag raising, hat-wearing, truck-having, sweaty middle-aged men who want to take away women's rights because...well...america..??

ps. i'm in georgia.

"No one wants to work" No one wants to work themselves to death and still be unable to survive.

Politicizing everything.
Being offended by how we do/say things. (and then proceeding to try and "educate" us on why we're wrong.) - My favourite (of many) is getting offended by the term "Coloured" when it's a legit ethnic group here.

Im from the uk and always thought americans were very polite, like they say bathroom instead of loo and dont swear, as all the tourists from the us ive met were very polite. I know not everyone is though

Americans (and most western countries as well) are incredibly friendly and chatty out of nowhere.

Americans seem to talk and socialize a lot more compared to people from other countries.

Loud and ignorant. Gets upset when traveling because things aren't done the way they are are in the US.

Rude, unapologetic, abrupt, obnoxiously patriotic with backward laws. Believers of the "American Dream", as cheesy as it sounds. Americans really do live by that motto.

Fat, uneducated in many domains (geography, language...), thinking all is better in the USA, having a Manichean way of thinking, mostly about politics, confusing "socialism" with what is "social".

Not everyone, but it seems a lot of us (I am American) love our guns more than we love our children.

That they are geographically challenger...

Loud, annoying, MAGA_hat wearing idiots. I'm from the US. :-)

We are all dying because we cannot afford the hospital or medicine. Not wrong er charged me 1,300 to come into it.

CA. Hipsters that like complicated coffee, and live by the beach

You all are rich, very rich. And for all I've read it's very true honestly.

True extreme poverty in my country is eating from a trash can, in the US it seems to be eating McDonald's. I've read numerous stories from people who grew from poverty in US and said they would eat McDonald's like if that is something poor people can afford. Meanwhile I grew up knowing McDonald's is rich people's food.

Minimal hourly wage is equivalent to 1 US dollar. I paid about 8 dollars my first and only time trying Subway, 8 hours of work is the price of a sandwich.

I say that because I've read american people say they're not rich as we think, but you need to understand to people who live in about 240 dollars monthly sometimes even with a degree, you are indeed rich.

If you live in Texas and you are a Democrat then the repubs think you are poor, probably on welfare, drug using anti-law enforcement. We have advanced college degrees, live in a wealthy community and are retired from Federal law enforcement careers. It sure messes with them when they learn these facts.

I live in Florida on the Atlantic Coast. I don't really think all the crazy "Florida Man" stereotypes are true. There are a few redneck types, but overall people are reasonable and accepting of everyone. Floridians get a bad rap sometimes, but I don't think it's fair.
