How I imagine people from other countries picturing me once they find out I'm American.

Close, but the man in that picture clearly has opposable thumbs.

SO offensive, he would obviously have more ammo at the ready, that guy is an embarrassment. I don't just mean bullets either, he's spillin' his big gulp and doesn't have a second, and ain't no ready-to-go fried dough to be seen

When I visited Japan, I was asked (on separate occasions) how many times I'd been shot at and if I knew Brad Pitt.

I as a Central European I picture the the typical American as a businessman wearing a suit, wielding a Hollywood smile and trying to sell something a bit aggressively, with too much enthusiasm for the product. TV-Shop guy, kinda.

I think this picture is more like how American college kids picture all those other folks around them they want to feel superior to...

arbitraryentry · 9 months

I've actually been told "wow, you don't seem like an American." Probably because I wasn't stuffing my face a the local McD's

Oh look, a comment thread for everyone to circlejerk about their own personal prejudices and bigotry towards americans, how nice!

One particular yank embedded a stereotypical impression in my head about 10 years ago.

One of girls met a guy an on IRC that had a crush on her. He flew over and stayed for a week.

He was a spitting image of Silent Bob. Didn't take that full length jacket off the whole time - in the middle of an Australian summer.

Still puts a smile on my face as being so ridiculous.

I got asked if Alabama was like Forrest Gump way too much when I was over in Europe this summer. Silly stereotypes.

dswimr615 · 9 months

I'm an american. I'm not fat. I don't ride a scooter. I'm not filled with prejudice. I live in the bible belt. I'm not conservative. I'm not a religious fanatic. I've been to a fast food restaurant less than twenty times since I can remember, and I've never smoked. I'm neither overly patriotic, nor do i own more than one gun (it's for self defense).

So fuck you, stereotype. Fuck you.

I was in Europe recently, and I was unable to convince some Belgians that all Americans do not walk around armed to the teeth.

I would rather be pictured like that then some primitive-cultured barbarian.

ekpraatnie · 9 months

Yeah that's pretty much America to the rest of us, fat, aggressive, right wing and lazy. Although I always thought the coasts were chilled and the middle was a hell hole of ig'nance.

Why would they just assume you were a man?

NatBelmont · 9 months

To be fair, if you also mentioned that you're Hispanic or African American your skin colour is completely different.

GumboVision · 9 months

Not sure if this reflects more on Americans or on HoustonTexan's opinion of non-Americans...

You forgot the massive $ sign on the oxygen canister.

That's not what a nasal cannula looks like. Not to be a cunt or anything, just thought you would like to know.

Smoking cigarettes too.

metalsheep714 · 9 months

As a fellow Houstonian...this is just a tad inaccurate, for a Texan anyway. You will find, whilst travelling overseas, that the three most asked questions are: "Do you ride a horse to school/work?", "Why aren't you wearing your hat...you know, the big one?", and "Can I see your gun?" Sad but very true. Source: I lived overseas for a year, and literally everyone I knew asked all three within a week.

I saw a guy like that at the Alabama state fair, minus the machine gun. But He was smoking a cigarette while hooked up to his oxygen. True story...

I would like to disagree, but I have more guns than I'd like to say on the internet. With that in mind, i'm probably in the 95 percentile in terms of health.

I'm afraid to let people know that I'm American because of this very presumption. I'm tired of answering questions about the local church, where the closest McDonald's is, how many guns I have, do I need oxygen, etc.
