  • Not how I view the world, but how I view USA and “citizens of the free world”.

    In 2016 my girlfriend and I visited New York - for me, first time visiting USA. I had a co-worker who lived in USA for most of her childhood, so I asked her if she had some advice for me to get along with people I met on my way.

    “Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans”.

    I thought that to be rude as I had “talked” with many Americans on Reddit and sure, there were idiots, but that didn’t define a person from USA for me.

    We arrived in New York and took a cab to the hotel. The driver asked us “So, is Donald Trump making headlines in Europe?” (This was during the 2016 election).

    I laughed and told him “Yeah, can you believe people will vote on such a moron”…

    Oh no I didn’t… He was furious, as Donald Trump was the Saviour of USA and he was singlehandedly going to “clean up the swamp” or whatever his catchphrase was… and then he said one of the stupidest things I have ever heard.

    “90% of Muslims are terrorists and if you don’t kill them, they will kill you”…

    I know not all Americans are this dumb, but I learned my lesson… Never underestimate the stupidity of Americans.
