we were discussing whether or not puerto rico should
become an actual state and not just a territory of the united states
we're having a perfectly good conversation until this one girl raises her hand
and her question her question was but if we make puerto rico a state where would we put it
a few moments go by and me and the teacher are looking each other in the eye and we're just like
oh my god and then she kind of takes them and goes oh we're like thank god like she figured it out
no her response was we could just put it where rhode island is no one cares about rhode island
hey guys welcome to foreign reacts today we're going to be doing a very interesting video that
i've actually done a previous uh version of and um this one is going to be the what's the dumbest
thing an american has ever said to you so i should be really interested in the previous one was also
interesting you guys can also uh click the link right here on the pop-up right here and you guys

thing an american has ever asked you it's going to be a series where we do all of these not maybe not
all of them but a lot of these videos so click that playlist and go check out the rest of the
videos but either ways guys welcome to foreign reacts hope you guys uh enjoy your time here
subscribe and uh have any suggestions leave those in the uh comment section down below uh whatever
weird stuff americans has um asked you those are the comments section down below either ways guys
let's get right into the video i'm curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
so i am italian and i go to college in the u.s i was on a phone call with my advisor to
schedule my classes for spring semester okay so at some point he goes like wait you're italian
i love paris i've been there a few years ago and i and i told him yeah i love paris
too it's beautiful it's a beautiful place i've been there a few years ago too and he goes like
i also took of some french classes in high school too and i was like yeah french yeah i know french
because i studied it at school and he goes like wait you studied it at school and i was like
yeah i studied it because in italy we don't speak french isn't in italy so yeah that's it in italy
we speak italian in the capital of italy's rome and he was like oh my god how could i forget
what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you excuse me why do you speak spanish
well a lot of my friends speak spanish so i decided to choose myself it's not hard you don't
look mexican i'm not i'm black wait so you're black and you speak spanish and your english seems
okay yes black people can learn other languages i mean like i guess but like it doesn't make sense
that you speak spanish if you're not mexican what is it this is that one right there is a
typical american thing right there because americans um it's all english right and um
once you speak a different language you are um it's uh it's like you are allocated into a
specific category right so if you speak spanish you're mexican they don't even think that you're
from spain or another spanish-speaking country it's mexican because mexicans were the are
the practically neighbors of america so once you speak spanish you're mexican makes sense
so it's it's really an american thing and yeah it's embarrassing yeah the first thing
an american has ever said to you all right so i had an american girl message me on instagram the
other day expressing how she's came for marriage and whatnot i wasn't interested for multiple
reasons so i thought the easiest and nicest way to let her down would be to state the obvious
fact they were from different countries so i told her you're from america i'm from australia it's
probably not gonna work and she had the audacity the audacity to say it's okay i can sponsor you
sponsor [ __ ] what do they not teach americans that there's other countries in the world where
people are living happily not all of us are chasing that american dream our kangaroos in
australia are more civilized than your people and our spiders are nicer than your people why
would i want to move to america sponsor i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american
has ever said to you so i'm traveling in australia i'm in a hostel in brisbane and this is american
couple i ask them where they're from they tell me they're from alabama i'm like oh my god that's
amazing i've never been to america and they're like oh really but america's so close to jamaica
and i'm thinking what and i say oh well i'm not from jamaica oh sure you are you sound jamaican to
me and i was like i'm actually from wales and the girl looks at me and she starts giving me a clay
i'm like oh god what have i said like if i offended them in some way
and they're like you can't say you're from a fake country that is so offensive
and i'm like wales is a real country no it's not it's an animal it's a real country
who do you think charles is you know queen of elizabeth's son like he's prince of wales
oh yeah he's prince of the animals everybody knows that he owns all the whales in the world
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
uh there was a haitian kid in my class and they said hey biko you're from kenya they're
from haiti so y'all both from africa right someone said i don't count as
african-american because my family is from africa and i was born in america
i had someone legitimately tell me if they didn't want to be slaves why didn't they fight back
uh once people found out that the darker the color the more heat it absorbs it was pretty
much over for me every summer because someone was gonna come out call out the fact that oh you're
really dark so you must be really hot right now uh people ask me if i speak africa a lot no matter
what the athletic accolade i get someone is gonna say it's because i'm black no seriously they're
just gonna be like oh you're dark skinned of course you're the fastest on the team
okay stupidity is in no way specifically american trait but when americans do it damn they do it
well i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you i once
flew from london to houston and when i got to the border the tsa agent took my british party
basically um return ticket to london and then proceeded to ask me where did i learn how to
speak english and when i kind of said england she said oh you guys speak english out there too
i'm kind of curious what i almost felt like crying when i heard that one bro
i almost felt like crying bro
moment of silence
wow
no tsa i asked you that question i did i think it was a same series that i was doing
um dumbest questions americans asked you or something like that
and it was a person about portugal you know they didn't even know it was a country
and they were tsa you know what tsa is right if you travel you know what it is it's the dumbest
thing an american has ever said to you i live in arizona and i graduated high school here but one
of my one of my first first days in high school this this girl sat next to me in english class
and she was like oh where are you from and then i tell her i'm from denmark and she's like
oh isn't that in chicago oh serious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
oh my god i can make a lot of these because i studied in the us as a non-american for like a
year so i've heard a lot of crazy [ __ ] but here's one of them so i was with a group of
americans and we were discussing whether or not we had seen a celebrity in public yet because we
were in new york and sometimes in new york you can just see like zendaya walking around the
street and i just gotten there so i had not seen a celebrity yet so i was telling them how in prague
that doesn't happen but then i told them that i had seen a famous czech youtuber walking around
my neighborhood once and this girl this girl was like wait check youtuber i don't get it and
i was like what what do you not get she was like does he make videos and check and i was like yeah
and she was like how does he do that youtube is in english and i was like no no it's what
and she was like yeah like the videos in youtube are english because youtube isn't english hello
it's for english speakers and i was like [ __ ] i had to explain to this girl that most of youtube
is not in english and that like the whole world uses youtube in their own language and she was
still confused i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
i was a senior in high school i was a teacher assistant for one of the u.s history classes
and let me tell you some interesting things were said by those students my favorite being this we
were discussing whether or not puerto rico should become an actual state and not just a territory of
the united states we're having a perfectly good conversation until this one girl raises her hand
and her question question was but if we make puerto rico a state where would we put it
a few moments go by and me and the teacher are looking each other in the eye and we're just like
oh my god and then she kind of takes them out and goes oh we're like thank god like she figured it
out no her response was we could just put it where rhode island is no one cares about rhode island
i'm no one cares about rhode island um that's pretty interesting because i do i do i'm not
from there i i've never been there but i do i do actually care a lot about like literally
a lot like literally a lot i watched literally documentaries about rhode island like literally
like i've never been there it's pretty small but like i care about it so yeah people do care about
them but either ways that's dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum dum question i don't think let
me tell you something the average american is not educated in them in a matter of um what do you say
it's hard to explain right um even if you go to school in america like if you're not really
interested that's the thing you can just you know go to class fail the class whatever it doesn't
it's not like it's a big deal for you if you get what i'm saying like you still like i just
don't know the europeans are way more attentive when it comes to school and other countries too
like listen americans don't know about america and i i probably said this a lot of times on
this channel i've said americans don't know about america americans don't even know their own state
americans can literally be living in a state and don't know what state it is like literally i'm
telling you facts bro so don't sweat it bro don't sweat these people erican has ever said to you
so i'm mexican and i was working in tulum one day i was talking with this girl and she said to me
i really wanted to visit mexico in cinco de mayo to see your independence day sorry what yeah
cinco de mayo your independence day oh actually our independence day is on september 16th don't
lie to me i know south american history and i know that mexico independence day it's on cinco de mayo
uh well actually now uh mexico's north america and you you can google that actually you can
see that mexico's independence day is on september 16. oh my god you have google
yes why i mean i'm really surprised that you can speak english and use google
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
practically america is russia you know how russia is locked away from the world so the fake news the
fake this the fake that that's practically america with less extent of uh fake news it's more of um
arrogant ignorance you know what i mean um i always use those words together because a lot
of people don't understand that arrogance and ignorance so i hadn't had in most situations
but the arrogant ignorant americans do this because they're arrogant to the point where
they're actually ignorant but they're using arrogance as well so they just don't care
they don't care what you want to say they don't do nothing and it's it's just what it is like
you can't stress over it because they don't even care i was made for this no one cares
so when i first moved here i was in sixth grade and i was getting enrolled to this middle school
and i was meeting up with the assistant principal and basically uh she asked me
for from where i was from and i'm like oh from columbia like i just moved here
and then she's like oh my god really so do y'all live in trees and eat alligators for breakfast
last time i remember i was living in a very nice house eating pandono with some chocolisto
but that's that's fine i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
so i was an exchange student in the us and i would randomly get asked by questions and then
one time i said i was asian because philippines is in southeast asia and then they literally said
philippines is in asia i thought it was in europe
girl and then one time i was in the bus i got asked do you have school
do you have farm animals in the philippines do you know what an iphone is girl what do you think of
us some sort of a different planet like this is why you need to go whoa school don't help man
they gotta get oh that's it we over with it these are all previous videos anyways that was pretty
interesting um like the this this was really interesting and it's very sad honestly i always
say it's really sad and um it's just how he goes man you can't you can't get get yourself caught
up in that situation because you're gonna just be sad you know but sad and mad over nothing because
americans will never change and um it's pointless trying to um get their attention to that because
you will say to them that hey i was not born in in a country where you live in a tree house
or whatever and they'll ask you the same thing over and over or ask it to somebody else in the
future so if they're not coming straight forward to you and with the level of um
acknowledgement of their ignorance pointless it's pointless to try to force an ignorant
person to not be ignorant let them be it's that simple but um this was really
interesting very embarrassing i'd say but uh we outta here guys like and subscribe peace
