hey guys welcome back to foreign reacts today we're gonna be checking out a beautiful video that
i love to do and uh we already know i'm moving to europe and these videos are really important to me
because it helps me to not make stupid mistakes but either ways uh this one is thought it was
the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you and uh without further ado let's get right
into this video guys if you're not subscribed please subscribe man it's really important uh
to be a part of foreign reactions beautiful channel hope you guys enjoy your time here man
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
okay i'm an american and i actually am from new mexico and when i lived up in illinois every time
i told people hey i'm from new mexico they'd be like did you get a green card are you here legally
what new mexico is the fifth largest state
in america need to go to school because you don't obviously know where anything is
this one is funny because i've said it in my videos before i mean to say it again
probably 99.99 billion i don't know probably everybody in america
does not know america america is not known by americans get it in your heads settle it in
america is a place where people are not the most educated or what you'd say
um i don't know they're not the smartest i guess but um they they're pretty good at a
lot of things but when it comes to general knowledge or stuff that not necessarily is
really important to their standard of life they won't know so you know it is what it is
oh and they also call me a web back so that's racist
so i know that this video is supposed to be stitched with videos of people that are not from
america explaining dumb things that americans have said to them because i mean if we're being honest
we say some pretty dumb things as americans but i'm 100 american born and bred raised in a small
one-stop-light town in north carolina oh shout out to the queen and when i was in eighth grade
this happened we were in history class and we were talking about the netherlands and this one girl
raises her hand and gets called on by the teacher and in the most straight faced serious manner ever
looks a teacher and goes isn't the netherlands where peter pan is from so i was in vegas and i
was eating chicken wings at the bar this american couple started speaking to us and they're like oh
so you're from australia and i'm like no we're from we're from the uk because if you say whales
most americans get really really confused and they're like what the [ __ ] is that yeah so
we're talking and they're like oh okay so would you rather live in the uk would you rather live
in the us you like it here and i'm like yeah well i love it here but um i'd rather live in the uk
and they're like why would you want to live in the uk and not here so i said well i like that
you know if i need to go to the doctor i can just call the doctor and go and i don't need to pay
and they're like but why would you prefer that at this point my friend ryan leans behind me
like over me to see them with a mouth full of chicken and fries and he's like because he's free
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you i like your friend
shout out to ryan brown yeah i was a celebrity stylist for a denim company for a while so i have
quite a few of these one time when i was in the states having drunk nothing but coffee and energy
drink for a week i fancied a cup of tea i thought i'd stop a little diner to make sure i could get
what i wanted and as i asked for my tea she said you like it hot right with like milk and sugar
yeah just you know little dribble of milk and maybe one one little spoon of sugar
not in like a tall glass with ice and lemon or anything like that no no boiling water tea bag
a little sugar and a little bit of milk it's perfect that's coffee okay what just have a coffee
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you so i went to
high school in the states for three months um in l.a and in history class we had to learn all the
states of by heart so we would have to like know where their position and the teacher would ask us
a question like what's north of texas you know what's north of arizona what south or whatever
and you know some are harder than others i always knew that was hard but you know i i learnt my
[ __ ] in the three months that i was there and one day he asked the person in my class what's
north of south carolina oh boy not that one i just figured she was gonna use a state that has
a north and a south like a north dakota south dakota all of my days and that's my state no
i don't want to hear the rest of this because this is just embarrassing like if somebody says what's
north of south carolina dog and you say you don't know you don't even i don't know man i don't know
man if there's a south there got to be a north right i don't know i i don't know that's basic
logics to me the person answered wrong what is it so i live in hungary okay that country this one
i told that to an american once on omegle they asked me is that in germany
germany hungary there's like two different countries and they asked me if hungary was in
germany i'm like this is europe not the us you know i have one weird question i don't know if
it's only me but i'd rather ask a question than make a statement and that was not a question to
ask if hungary is in germany that's not a question to me that's that's a statement that's that's
that's not a question if somebody says to me i'm from hungary i'm going to be like oh where is that
that person likely will reply oh it's a country in europe and oh okay that's really awesome
where is it located in europe you know what i'm trying to say to make a conversation go better
it's best to allow somebody else to speak if you don't know you know what i'm trying to say
so when i was 16 i did an exchange program in the u.s um from brazil i knew it i knew it i
know i remember december i knew it bro i can literally tell where people are from without
i'm just playing but i knew she was from brazil though it's kind of i i just know when somebody's
from brazil like you can tell like they just give you that brazil yeah you're from brazil right
yeah i just think they give you that i don't know i think so i'm and i was telling one of my friends
how i had spoken to my parents and they were at the beach because it was really hot and you know
summer in brazil at that time and then she looked me straight in the eyes and asked me
oh so so is it july in brazil now so let's set the scene it's early july and i'm in marrakech
i've just checked into this hostel and i'm sitting on one of these chairs here by the pool so this
young couple from georgia sparks up a conversation with me so the couple invite me up to like
the roof this like roof patio thing to see the fireworks so we end up on the roof terrace here
um mingling with various nationalities and the americans are asking like does anyone know when
the fireworks start everyone's a bit confused anyway it transpires that is the fourth of july
american independence day we're in morocco there's maybe like 10 of us all trying to
explain to america i actually missed what he was saying like he said it in the beginning but i just
realized what he's talking about like that's really embarrassing imagine you that's really
embarrassing like that's really embarrassing why they probably don't have fireworks for the 4th of
july in marrakech morocco and this is just the tip of the iceberg stay tuned for more okay so
it was 2017 and it was my birthday and i wanted to see with confidence and movements so i went
to houston for this concert right here i also kind of like knuckle puck like i knew a few songs
so at the end i met the lead singer nick and i was chatting with him and i told him that i
i like i went from mexico to the concert and he was so shocked and he asked me like oh how did
you get to the us from mexico and i was like oh i flew here like on a plane and he didn't believe
me he was like you have planes in mexico and i was like yeah we have airports international airports
so i explained to him how you could like travel to almost every part of the world in
from mexico in a plane and he was so shocked that there were airports and planes in mexico he just
couldn't believe it it's really sad yeah so for those of you that don't know i'm half spanish
half tunisian but i was born in brazil but i was raised in dubai and now i live in london um
but when i got to brazil i'm from dubai so i must have been 14 years old or something and i was in
a summer camp in the united states in maine um and so this girl asks me where are you from and so i'm
like oh i'm from dubai oh my god so cool i've been there to doha right that's the capital of india
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
oh a little while back i made a video talking about how australians hate the
american accent even though americans seem to love the australian accent and i had multiple
americans in my comments saying things like well i guess i'll just never speak again
yeah that's the point honey please please shut up because you're really annoying what made it
even worse for them was the way that every single australian either agreed with me or went oh i kind
of like the accent and then they got ripped into by every other australian in the comments i'm kind
of curious that that kind of sucks though like i think as a human you're supposed to be able
to speak however you want to speak like i'm just all for equality in terms of you have like if an
american speaks a certain way they have the right to speak that way if you're an australian and you
don't like it well that's your problem like i'm i can't give her a pass for that like what
imagine somebody was supposed to tell you that you you should shut up because you're annoying
the way how you speak like that's not a very nice thing to say because i'm pretty sure one there
has to be somebody in this world who does not like the australian accent and that's not right
right i personally love everybody's accent i love it because i just love people it's just a general
thing for me i love people and um i love hearing various you know accents various forms of english
like i love seeing people try the heck out of english to speak it we have a laugh they have a
laugh i've literally had people speak to me and um they're struggling to speak english and i'm like
you got this that's how i am i root for people i don't you know i don't really like i really
didn't like that oh yeah this one's really easy um so one time a bunch of us were traveling through
uh kentucky a group of us from canada here and um we're in mcdonald's and uh an american tapped
us on the shoulder they like overheard our accents they're like are y'all from canada
or like yeah yeah we're from canada and so then there was this moment where they
like paused it was like they were processing this information and they're like oh ho ho ho
yeah that happened canadians don't necessarily have an accent when it comes to america like
canada is like the literally like a flip of a coin when it comes to america like they're
so similar like literally like what i know people from canada that like straight up you could blend
them right into america you'd not be able to tell the difference right i know some canadians
are very much different because they got a lot of accent but buddy right here he ain't sounded too
bad to me i don't know i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
oh so as many of you know i was an exchange student in california last year and this happened
like the first week i went to school i met this girl and she asked me where i was from and i told
her i was from belgium she sounded really excited but then asked me where belgium was and i said oh
belgium was in europe and she answered with oh my god europe is such a nice country
i'm kind of curious what is the dumbest thing an american has ever said to you
so i went to the usa for the very first time in 2012 and i was on leave for two months and
so we rented this house in indiana state near michigan lake or lake michigan and the owner of
the house one day came over he needed to do some repairs something was broken and so he came over
and he introduced himself and i also introduced myself and he asked me where i was from i said
i was from namibia which is in southwest africa he's like oh so you are from africa i said yes
i am from africa and then he's like you look very healthy for somebody who is from africa
did you take yours
hey don't don't don't take it personal americans do this all the time like
i've been in situations where i've you know said things that
you know it's dumb so you know not nothing like that but i've been in situations where i thought
you know superiority was america everywhere else but uh yeah he said you look healthy excuse me
okay so i moved here roughly around four years ago from jamaica
and i was on my college campus and on my way to starbucks i bumped into one of my classmates
and he was heading to starbucks as well so we just kind of made small talk on her way over there
and i don't remember how it came up but i was mentioning to him like oh i moved your
lesser from jamaica and i'm loving it so happy to be in college et cetera et cetera
and he turns and looks at me and he says oh my god you're from jamaica your english is so good
like english is the language of jamaica we speak english like
we speak english oh no and he was also a person of color and i guess i just wasn't
expecting that from another poc i'm kind of curious what you all do that's what y'all do
y'all believe that people of color or whatever the shish kebab you all want to call yourselves
that they any different know what that's i just don't get humanity like we treat people who
look like ourselves like okay they could not make a mistake okay they're not idiots okay well not
idiots i shouldn't call anyone idiot they could not make an idiotic mistake they could not say
something idiotic bro race has nothing to do with nothing man it's your environment
that makes you the environment is responsible for your output right if a white man is raised around
a specific type of people he will act that way he will not act like a white man he will act that
way because there is no actions to a color or ethnicity or race it is your culture that makes
you who you are i don't know why people always be doing this attachment to all of these nonsense
ah this was when i had first moved to indonesia for work uh there was also a girl from wisconsin
who had moved to indonesia for work uh she told me that when she first met me she never thought that
she would go on to being friends with me basically she didn't fathom the fact that her moving out of
wisconsin or america would mean that she might be required to meet other people and actually be
friends with them people who are not just white or americans the italian peninsula
hello shawty it is what it is man i'm happy for all y'all folks man but don't take nothing too
personal like that man because you know we got everybody in this world has a little bit of it
makes no sense you know what i'm trying to say they had a moment i've had my moments
i'll share my moments with y'all in the future to be honest guys but what i'm
trying to say is that man we all humans and we all got some dumb things that we do or say so
have pity on these folks have video on everybody who be doing dumb stuff and just try to enlighten
them try to try to try to make some you know connection and try to hey man listen to me if
they're arrogant and they're ignorant and they just don't want to hear anything and let them be
we don't we're not going to force you but you know ain't nothing wrong with educating somebody
i've been educated and i'm happy that i'm not that you know psycho anymore where i think america is
the best at everything it's a beautiful thing but either ways because i'm out of here peace
