What do you think of Americans?

MrMonotone · 31-35, M
As one we are a mixed bag...as I'd assume most other countries are...media shows either the best or worst of anybody...but we are all just people in the end

The first foreigners to befriend me whether irl or online were Americans, they went out of their way to help me, friendliest people I’ve met

@SW-User When I visited people in Morocco some of them remarked “the American people are not like the politics”. I think they had a set image in their mind about how Americans would be from watching media and satellite tv shows & movies.

@SW-User [quote]friendliest people I’ve met[/quote]
I can only confirm what you said.
SW-User
I love them. I see people, not what country they live in. And I am one.
helenS · 36-40, F
330 million people – difficult to say anything that's true for all of them... 🤭
Anyway the few American people that I know are extremely nice, friendly and helpful.
I was in America for half a year, many years ago, and my English was terrible, and they did everything they could to help me. Thank you guys! 🌷

I think they're generally put on a pedestal because American culture is globalised but I have a neutral stance until I get to know the person.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@NickiHijab Seems like Hollywood and the media portrays Americans in certain ways that leads outsiders to stereotype us.
NickiHijab · F
@cherokeepatti
some of the people here don't help the stereotypes, just saying lmao
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@NickiHijab well I could stereotype people in places where I visited from what I saw out in public but that doesn’t mean everyone is that way does it?

I think the American people are pretty goddamn normal in the scheme of things, and we only have a reputation because our government and unusually powerful media apparatus thrives on division and exploitation of the working class, which in turn involves smearing regular people to the ends of the Earth. That, and there's a shit ton of us, which statistically leads to a higher total number of extremists and weirdos, and the US is just a tremendously influential country.
Wolf90 · M
Probably the majority of them fall within the same boundaries of personality that we all do. What we see in the media is usually the far end of either side of the spectrum, from good to bad, because that is what is seen as newsworthy. We all have cultural strengths and weaknesses after all
GunFinger · F
I love a lot of them.

Most are dumb idiots

@ExtremeNext @SinlessOnslaught @Thexboxoneguy1991 because they're dumb idiots. who generalizes an entire country and means it wholeheartedly?
uncleshawn · 41-45, M
@ExtremeNext You should be grateful that Americans bothered to defeat Spain in WWII, thus saving Belgium.
hotarabgirl · 22-25, F
stupid, fat, racist, and selfish.
Camelia · F
What ones?

South American’s, North American’s, Central American’s?
helenS · 36-40, F
@Adstar It may be more obvious in the US than in some other countries, because Americans speak open and freely about the situation they are in.
Adstar · 56-60, M
@helenS Only because the Media in the USA whip it up and beat it to death.
helenS · 36-40, F
@Adstar I see – thank you 🌷
SW-User
I think that the majority of Americans are friendly, confident, loud, and proud. And if you would like to disagree then I will tell you that we honestly don't care what you think about us.
@SW-User we really don’t!
SW-User
@NoGamesTolerated as we don't you either
4meAndyou · F
I think they are like people everywhere. They want a good life. They want to raise their children in safety, and they want the guarantees of freedom provided by the Constitution.
SW-User
I don't get why some are Americans, some African American, others Native Americans. Weirdos.
SW-User
@SW-User why is that hard to understand? Weirdo.
SW-User
@SW-User Because it's stupid you weirdos. You're all American.
We're not talking about people with dual citizenship.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@SW-User America is a melting pot.
SW-User
The impression I get talking to the online is much better than what I have seen through other media, a lot of them are surprisingly, fun, normal, witty, smart
uncleshawn · 41-45, M
@SW-User But you know the secret.....Americans secretly wish they were Irish. Irish pubs everywhere, giant Irish parades, Brendan Gleeson in almost every movie, etc. 😁
We are people just like everyone else. I'm sick of the media portraying us in away that makes it okay for the terminally stupid to bash the country on a whole
Adstar · 56-60, M
Best to deal with people as individuels..

The USA has 330 million individuels..
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Adstar America is also a melting pot and has a huge variety of cultures and ethnicities....can’t stereotype them as any one type.
Adstar · 56-60, M
@cherokeepatti So true.. Very similar to my country Australia..
Nimbus · M
Great with salad a little chilli sauce and a glass of Chianti.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F
@Nimbus Be nice, Nimbus.
Moon3624 · 18-21, F
It depends on the person, but I find a lot of them very diverse and down to earth 💗😂
whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M
Americans are people, like everyone else. And some of the nicest, most generous natured people around in a one to one meeting.
They are however not served well by their media and in some cases their government. And many being highly patriotic can say the darndest things they believe to be true.
@whowasthatmaskedman Just like every people of any civilized country on this planet. Everybody has the same goals / wants - if they dont then they don't live in a civilized part of the world.

@MissTaken 😂😂😂
Some of them are nice?
SW-User
I like 'em!
Eidolon · M
not to cast a blanket stereotype... but the vast majority that I have encountered fall into 2 main categories:
1. dumb as doorknobs
2. superficial & lacking any real empathy
SW-User
Not very united like the name of your country might suggest. But at the end of the day, just people.
WandererTony · 56-60, M
They are a mixed bag. I dont think its easy to define such a large diverse crowd.
SW-User
Xbox 360 or Xbox one?
Thexboxoneguy1991 · 31-35, M
@SW-User shit man it's tough to choose there lol
SW-User
@Thexboxoneguy1991 Go for PlayStation 5. Problem solved.
Thexboxoneguy1991 · 31-35, M
@SW-User I like both XBox 360 and XBox one
WanderingThrough · 31-35, F
I plead the fifth 😏.
I would say many of their problems stem from the fact that I think they are some of the most brainwashed people on earth.
SW-User
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Just want to add a caveat to my original statement. My original comment was not a slight on Americans but on the system they were raised and live in.
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
That those who like to talk about how much freedom they have as Americans have quite a strange idea of freedom as such. 🤔 From what I gathered on social media...
SW-User
they used to be the greatest nation on the world... but they dont seem to realize that time is over
SW-User
@Strawberrry who do you consider to be the greatest?
@SW-User propably a country like norway maybe new zealand... indicators like median wealth, income and standard of living. how safe your society is, technological and education standards. health and expectance of life.

basically look at the bottom 20% of a countries society and see how well they do... and you know if a country is great or not.
Good people fir the most part..a little naive...
Proving more and more to be divided

I think like in every country there are good and bad, but the both times I have visited the US I have had only positive experiences 👍

I dislike some of them. I like some of them. I really like some of them.

Just like any other nation really. I do prefer it when they aren't starting wars but I can't blame them all for that and theirs isn't the only nation that does it.
