What do you think of Americans if you’re European and vice versa?

I think Americans have gaps in their knowledge, they seem too confident, but in someways extremely intelligent and articulate. I think the accent is very classy. It took me awhile to adapt and to be concise and elaborate in my responses when talking to Americans.
I think most Americans are loud and opinionated so they really learned to be precise and explain everything around their point.
In Australia you don’t have to explain much to get your point across… it’s easy going 😂

Americans are like anyone else, just with that extra dose of arrogance for obvious reasons, and honestly, that’s not even always a bad thing. My only gripe is with the folks who say we shouldn’t talk about America if we’re not American. Lol, really? The same people who meme, mock, and critique the entire world suddenly get all “triGgeRed” the moment someone points out their dear leader’s flaws. Suddenly, laughing at Trump’s foibles magically becomes “anti-America.”

@DarthInvader no they’re not like anyone else
They’re very different to the rest of the world
Like the Swiss French are different from the French, we speak different we think different. Same for Swiss Germans and Germans. Very different people.
But Americans have a very different culture than the rest of the world.

@Ferise1 What I meant is that they’re human, like anyone else, subject to the same whims, tendencies, and even propaganda. That’s why I find it amusing when some get worked up over what they call ‘Russian propaganda.’ The real difference is cultural, not some inherent uniqueness.

@DarthInvader i’m not talking about propaganda. I’m talking about the way they are their mental disposition. Their overall mentality and way of expressing themselves.
