After being surrounded by non-Americans for more than a month now, Dillon and I have learned about many of the stereotypes that other countries have regarding Americans… And we also learned that we conform to almost all of them! Here are just a few examples:
- Americans are fat
- Americans all have guns
- Americans have a lot of credit cards
- Americans party hard (especially at college)
- Americans are ignorant and dumb
- Americans are materialistic
- Americans are loud and obnoxious
- Americans are wasteful
- Americans don’t travel and lack worldliness (and are awful at geography)
- Americans are super patriotic (‘MERICA!)
Tough crowd, am I right?
Jk, Dillon and I don’t conform to any of these stereotypes. Okay, maybe the stereotype about Americans being loud and obnoxious holds true to us, not going to lie…
