I'm a Texan in France. Every time I say I'm from Texas, they freak out and yell "Cowboy!!!"

[–]A_Giant_midget 23 points24 points ago

Tell them you are John Wayne..

[–]TSadler2020 2 points3 points ago

But Marion Robert Morrison, aka "John Wayne" is from Iowa!!!

[–]A_Giant_midget 4 points5 points ago

Not anymore he's not....

[–]TSadler2020 2 points3 points ago

ooooh Damn!!!

[–]mannbarepig 13 points14 points ago

Why would you leave Texas to go to France? Texas is bigger than France....

[–]Basbhat 6 points7 points ago

bigger, emptier, and shittier.

[–]Skwerley 161 points162 points ago

That's pretty much the US as seen by Texans, also.

[–]cokenoice 61 points62 points ago

As a Texan I approve this message.

[–]mac0374 34 points35 points ago

See, there's Texas..and then there's NOT Texas...

[–]TheBoss5531 3 points4 points ago

And anything south of the border is Mexico.

[–]fixitology 13 points14 points ago

Damn straight

[–]ImperiumAeon 13 points14 points ago

That's pretty much the US as seen by New Yorkers, as well.

[–]SenorHindsight 2 points3 points ago

Yup

[–]whosietoesie 68 points69 points ago

[–]melmosaurus 88 points89 points ago

Being from Texas this greatly pleases me.

[–]_Wolfos 8 points9 points ago

Being from Netherlands, I don't even know what that orange blob above Italy is (probably Switzerland), let alone what we should do with it.

[–]Sajerman 1 point2 points ago

I'm surprised they didn't extend the Orange over to Northern Ireland as well...

[–]DaemonDanton 29 points30 points ago

Agreed. I will upvote this every time it is posted.

[–]UnorthodoxParadox 15 points16 points ago

I see your subtle repost complaint, and i raise you an unoriginal comment.

[–]xmuffinmanx 1 point2 points ago

Same here. That's the it should look anyway.

[–]Slamington 1 point2 points ago

Being from Texas I am not pleased. Those Europeans are considering people who aren't Texans as Texans. I don't want anyone thinking Oklahomans are as cool as we are.

[–]Basbhat 0 points1 point ago

it shouldn't, you represent all the shitty parts of this country

[–]Anti_Shoogle 28 points29 points ago

I know that the sticky out bit is the state of Disney.

[–]cowboys703 19 points20 points ago

We prefer to call it "Gods waiting room"

[–]remhawk99 3 points4 points ago

Or Cuban Israel.

This image requires more jpeg! For those planning to repost this,

please download this image when you decide to repost it and save it again as a jpg for good measure.

[–]fridgeface 22 points23 points ago

As a European I also know that florida is the penis of America.

[–]HandBananaHammock 4 points5 points ago

and lousiana is the asshole.

[–]erenio 0 points1 point ago

i think we all know that Florida is Canada's dick, the us is just shorts

[–]krichforty 3 points4 points ago

whatchutalkinbout. Canada is American's hat.

[–]Tanzwut 20 points21 points ago

Ireland should be 'where my ancestors are from'

[–]TwoLegsJoe 30 points31 points ago

But only on Saint Patrick's Day

[–]IrishHenshin 0 points1 point ago

That clip has just made my morning, cheers!

[–]TastyAce 8 points9 points ago

Everyone knows where Disney world is. So yeah. Florida.

[–]Heep_Purple 2 points3 points ago

All I know is that disney land is in Paris.

[–]papanugini_god 13 points14 points ago

I love that Britain is labeled all England

[–]moleman73 8 points9 points ago

Isn't it all England?

[–]Ankyra 8 points9 points ago

This video explains it. Yeah, it's a bit complicated.

[–]MTGandP 1 point2 points ago

Fun fact: The Pitcairn Islands is the smallest jurisdiction in the world, with only 48 inhabitants.

[–]Ankyra 3 points4 points ago

No way!

descendants of the Bounty mutineers and their Tahitian wives

That's a really interesting piece of trivia. I read a fantastic book about the mutiny on the Bounty, it made me all excited to see it again! Thanks for that MTGandP! :)

[–]Ankyra 7 points8 points ago

Whether you care or not is no impediment to these facts' existence.

[–]Leaxe 1 point2 points ago

And screw him. I love C.G.P. Grey.

[–]Quixotically 0 points1 point ago

Are you American?

[–]papanugini_god 0 points1 point ago

no, that would be like saying alaska is part of canada

[–]Imtheantinoob 6 points7 points ago

Turkey eh I mean Israel is not in Europe.

[–]FartMagnet 6 points7 points ago

As an American I can confirm. Spain is definitely Old Mexico

[–]doktortaru 6 points7 points ago

Someone had to do it.

Oh my sweet Jebus, that's the hardest I have laughed in quite a while.

[–]la_guiri 29 points30 points ago

sadly, i've found most europeans know the us map better than anyone in my family, even state capitals.

[–]cocktastic_voyage 5 points6 points ago

They watch a lot of Jeopardy.

[–]Ajizi 1 point2 points ago

something we learned in school, no biggie

[–]JustUseJam 4 points5 points ago

I'm English and i know of americas wang...

[–]SigP 1 point2 points ago

You forgot Poland.

[–]Brightestburning 0 points1 point ago

They left out pretty much every small country. That's how some Americans see Europe. That's the joke.

[–]SigP 0 points1 point ago

Woosh

[–]SenatorStuartSmalley 1 point2 points ago

I don't think that's accurate. Israel should be replaced with Anywhereistan.

[–]Munnjo 14 points15 points ago

Not this again...

[–]tristard 7 points8 points ago

Old Mexico made me laugh haha.

[–]lennon3862 3 points4 points ago

What's Italy?

[–]PhilGuitar 11 points12 points ago

Well with it having the same colour as Spain, I guess it's Old Mexico.

[–]lennon3862 0 points1 point ago

Italy is Old Mexico then? hm....

[–]PhilGuitar 0 points1 point ago

According to the picture, yes.

[–]lunaneo1007 3 points4 points ago

Well it is the same color as 'old mexico' so i guess Italy would also be apart of that.

[–]fairbianca 2 points3 points ago

completely fucking amazing. I don't know what it is on the map though.

[–]AC_Mentor[S] 1 point2 points ago

Dunno, there's nothing...

[–]TheZingy 5 points6 points ago

Old Mexico
Made my day :)

[–]easypar33 2 points3 points ago

Ha ha, Sparta!

[–]Drunkturtle 2 points3 points ago

No. Fuck no. This exact same thing happened a year ago. This EXACT image started a month of shit like this. Fucking stop.

[–]rick21n 2 points3 points ago

This is how Texas envisions America as well...

[–]helloWorldguy 1 point2 points ago

Coming from an American, that's so true about both. Sometimes I even see America that way

[–]Spr09 2 points3 points ago

As an American I can confirm the French are pussies.

[–]HiImGarrett 8 points9 points ago

I'm sure they want your opinion.

[–]jimmithy 2 points3 points ago

Could you explain why?

[–]markex 0 points1 point ago

France was america's ally during the revolutionary war. The US might not even exist without France. Napoleon was taken down by Prussia and England (and some of Portugal and Spain who were already getting beaten down pretty bad by France). And who do you think the Louisiana Purchase took place with? France. We owe a fucking lot to that country.

[–]sjhaakie 0 points1 point ago

as an European i can confirm this

[–]makesmovements 12 points13 points ago

As another European I refute this, I think the second picture is more like what America thinks we think of America.

[–]Polymarchos 8 points9 points ago

As someone who is neither American nor European, I agree.

[–]MaxiPackage 8 points9 points ago

There's other places? TIL

[–]Polymarchos 0 points1 point ago

The more you forget about us, the easier it will be when we decide to invade!

[–]ktkoolaid 0 points1 point ago

THE EURO... no that's not right... THE MEXI... no not them either, Chinese? no, i don't think so. Anyways we're being invaded.

[–]Danizzy1 2 points3 points ago

And the first picture is what Europeans think Americans think of Europe. That's the whole point.

[–]DerManiac 0 points1 point ago

I'd say both images were prbably created by the same person. So it should have the same starting point. Assuming that the creator was American, i'd say the first image is what Americans think Europeans think that Americans think about Europe.

[–]turkishbathouse 0 points1 point ago

And the first picture is what Europeans think we (Americans) think of Europe. Let us celebrate the general ignorance of all human beings.

[–]makesmovements 0 points1 point ago

Haha well put. I will acquiesce to share the general stupidity of nations but with the disclaimer that we all know there are some people on each side of the water that do in fact, know their elbow from their arsehole.

[–]Us3L3ss 1 point2 points ago

Pretty much true.

[–]Danizzy1 0 points1 point ago

I think Italy should have been labeled "old jersey shore". haha

[–]15herzh 0 points1 point ago

As a texan, I love this

[–]noathe -1 points0 points ago

Why is there a penis in between two very small legs in Israel?

[–]Rabidpotatoes 0 points1 point ago

You know, the British used to want Washington sob

[–]timmahboy10 -1 points0 points ago

as a chicagoan, I feel unjustly left out

[–]saxman64 1 point2 points ago

Reposts are bad and you should feel bad

[–]HSMOM 0 points1 point ago

America needs a big green glob in the middle called WI. Everyone knows there is WI.

[–]ktkoolaid 0 points1 point ago

Yes! I've always wanted to live in California.

[–]ZealousSlayer 0 points1 point ago

Old Mexico?

[–]RockintheShockin 0 points1 point ago

"old Mexico" gave me a bit of chuckle.

[–]Trickster_2212 0 points1 point ago

Old Mexico, brilliant!

[–]MTGandP 0 points1 point ago

Texas extends to the ocean. What's with the weird thing underneath Texas?

[–]wsr3ster 0 points1 point ago

They both have Paris...

[–]lillexort 0 points1 point ago

France (pussies) HAHAHAHA XD

[–]TjallingOtter 0 points1 point ago

I can point out about five or six states, I guess.

[–]trixter21992251 -1 points0 points ago

Sunk the titanic xD

[–]Slyfox00 0 points1 point ago

I got a good laugh out of that.

[–]Isthiscreativeenough 0 points1 point ago

Please, I couldn't even find two European countries on a map.

[–]Ffunny_frends 0 points1 point ago

I'm canadian and that is totally how I see the states.

[–]pronebark 0 points1 point ago

As a drunk Texan, this is also how I see America!

[–]Sir_Trollz_Alot 0 points1 point ago

So not true!

[–]juwking 0 points1 point ago

You forgot Poland :(

[–]Sportsfanno1 1 point2 points ago

So Belgium is still part of the Netherlands? Why did we even revolt in 1830?

[–]Brightestburning 0 points1 point ago

Didn't you know? We didn't want freedom. Sily you.

[–]TinBryn 0 points1 point ago

[–]empwillkill 0 points1 point ago

Pretty much

[–]Moefty 0 points1 point ago

Here we go again.

[–]ditisthomas 0 points1 point ago

i'm from europe and i confirm both.

[–]chilly-fries 1 point2 points ago

Aussies just get everything right.

[–]upq700hp 0 points1 point ago

I always feel bad for this pic. Sorry for hitler guys!

[–]ClyroDeBiff 0 points1 point ago

Being Scottish, this angers me

[–]RainbowOcean 0 points1 point ago

When I was little I thought Texas was an island.

[–]Frack-Star 0 points1 point ago

This is also the way Californians and New Yorkers see America.

[–]Frack-Star 0 points1 point ago

This is also the way Hollywood sees Europe and the US.

[–]Extradaemon 0 points1 point ago

Well, Europeans know about the US. Its just that United States Citizens know nothing of us. Ignorant Asses.

[–]Komik3396 0 points1 point ago

As a Texan, this is also how I view the US

[–]Scentless_Apprentice 1 point2 points ago

As a Texan speaking for Texans, this is how we all view the US

[–]OloNGJHonSon 0 points1 point ago

Correction Ireland should say crazy drunken mofos.

[–]Trace41 1 point2 points ago

Studying for my 8th grade state naming test would have been a lot easier if the map was true.

[–]JabbaWebb -2 points-1 points ago

No, we actually bother to learn a bit more geography than stereotypes ;) Well, some of us.

[–]Pucl 1 point2 points ago

So is it bad if that is what I think about Europe?

[–]ductaperecorder 1 point2 points ago

I'm ok with this. I'd rather be part of California than part of Texas.

[–]beardhead -1 points0 points ago

people upvoting this a bunch of fucking idiots. does reddit really have that many 12 and 13 year olds on it now?

[–]Dodgimusprime -5 points-4 points ago

We all know that Americans can't find Germany on a map... I'm pretty sure we all think Europe is just one really big country

[–]rscott89 1 point2 points ago

Reading a lot of the posts on Reddit, it kind of seems like they think they are one big country as well. Its far more common to read someone refer to themselves in a post as a European, than for example as a German, or an Italian.

[–]Quazz 3 points4 points ago

Not quite.

It gives an extra layer of privacy. Just like saying you're an American vs Texan.

Plus; you don't have to deal with stupid stereotypes and shit.

[–]rscott89 3 points4 points ago

I guess I didn't really think of it from the Anonymity stand point.

[–]Polymarchos 1 point2 points ago

American vs. Texan is analogous to German vs. Bavarian, not European vs. German.

[–]Quazz 0 points1 point ago

Sure; technically. Although geographically and therefore privacy related, the previous is true.

[–]ruinercollector 0 points1 point ago

Furthermore, I usually see it used in the context of meaning "not American."

[–]Siverix 3 points4 points ago

Or they're from a small country. Like me. I'm from Lithuania and almost no one gives a shit where Lithuania is.

[–]rscott89 5 points6 points ago

Under Latvia, above Belarus, next to Poland. A degree in history has pounded geography into my scull.

[–]PokemasterTT 2 points3 points ago

Some people propose that EU should become a federation like the USA.

[–]jake314159 0 points1 point ago

Some others disagree.

[–]cptawesome11 6 points7 points ago

I haven't seen it. I'm glad it got reposted.

[–]mariaisabell -2 points-1 points ago

YEAH NEW YORK!!!!!

[–]desquibnt -2 points-1 points ago

No. Absolutely not. Stop this right now. The last time we had submissions like this, they went on for days

[–]bananaman172 -2 points-1 points ago

Guess who lives in California now? XD

[–]Iamgoingtooffendyou -1 points0 points ago

This post as seen by redditors: repost.

[–]slayerrye2 -1 points0 points ago

But Texas isn't even the biggest.

[–]koerbchen -2 points-1 points ago

As a European, I cannot confirm this, the second picture is shit. You know, we have education around here.

[–]ChikenShit -5 points-4 points ago

why no swastika on texas, would have been more believable

[–]JonnyLionheart 1 point2 points ago

I think you mean a white hood.
