What are the European Perceptions of Americans?

Question

I am just curious about your thoughts.

Five things I need to know:

1. Perceptions of American People
2. Perceptions of American Culture
3. Perceptions of American music
4. Perceptions of American "brand" of Christianity
5. Perceptions of our American President

Answer 1

Jealous. I'll never forget the time I was in france listening to this guy talk trash on America and a car drove buy blasting American music.

Answer 2

Like the answer above me. I live in Germany and I hate it when I hear the Germans talk smack about Americans (not the President or politics, those issues I can understand) but the American way, but then crank up their Justin Timberlake and read about Paris Hilton. Our entertainment is their entertainment too! I have been over here for 5 months now and all the music you hear everywhere is American, the movies that come out in the theaters are from America and they LOVE our celebs. Sounds like their culture/way is alot like ours, only healthier. Don't know about #4, although the town where I live has heavy traditional Catholic influence and values. #5 ~ Same as most Americans (he is one reason we have such a bad rap).

Answer 3

My answer is meant as being trouble-free and that i do no longer mean in any thank you to insult anybody. that's what i think of roughly human beings: a million) they have been brainwashed with god 2) They understand extra approximately medicine and veterinary than different international places 3) they are friendly 4) they do no longer consume o.k. 5) i do no longer see the capacity to sue something very beautiful, i individually locate it particularly ridiculous 6) they have large musicians 7) they are fairly animal fans 8) they are fairly open minded 9) I truthfully do no longer understand what's occurring with the national ailment, yet i individually locate it absurd it relatively is priceless to pay to have national well-being 10) i think of standard it particularly is a superb united states of america 11) large movies 12) i think of a good number of human beings are racists against black human beings 13) too lots violence. weapons at the instant are not the answer to each thing it relatively is adequate for now. I in simple terms visited the U. S. as quickly as, I went to New Jersey and that i got here upon it relatively uninteresting yet I strongly have faith that different area of the U. S. are lots extra interesting (sorry while you're from New Jersey!) Have a spectacular day. I forgot to assert: the Apple is American, yeah!!!

Answer 4

This question comes up so often, I'm tired of answering it. I'm a European, but any criticism is construed as jealousy because apparently you are free, have freedom of speech, blah blah blah. I'm English. I'm not jealous of America. I live in a big house in London. I've been to America and don't want to ever go back, thanks. I don't dislike American people because I've only met a tiny, tiny proportion and individually they are fine, but collectively, I dislike them. Regarding 5. Perceptions of American President: The man is evil.

EDIT: Thanks for proving my point, Tyrone.
