Well it's because the only time they show an Americans it's them being stupid.
What do you think? Is it true? Are the majority of americans plain idiots or are they just a minority that somehow keeps popping up on tv?
Everything said here, will be taken in to consideration for a university papper I'm doing about America and this is the point of view I'm basing the papper on so please express your sincere opinion...
I have to agree with you in some level seeing as there's tons of videos of her constantly being an idiot on the "Are you smarter then a 5th grader" show...
Personnaly I think that America has more idiots per city than any other country in the world, but they are not as many as the media tries to show... But still, it's something you need to work on...
In America (and i don't know if this is true in other countrys) most kids don't likes school and most don;t cares.

Read the first post... It never said that you are all idiots... I said that you have many idiots...
Personnally I thinks this topic gives you a chance of saying what you think about the subject, because the people I showed on the videos make your country look like an educational nightmare, and I know this isn't true, so here's your chance to prove the whole world wrong...
And don't worry, I don't take any offense in anything you said or will say on this topic...

In Portugal for example, few like school but they know that you have to study to have any kind of financially problem-free future so almost every studies hard, and the ones who don't study hard usually end up taking a special kind of degree that enables you to work in areas were you don't have to have many qualifications and were your career progress is kind of limited... But still, everyone makes a big deal about school...
A lot of kids figure they'll find a way to make it. and a big problem is a lot of kids don't care because they think they can make it in sports so they don't think they need to study.

Look, I wasn't trying to make Americans look stupid. But since i posted that videos on the News thread, I think i somehow have to let them show that what is shown on the videos isn't true...
I have no beef with Americans...
Sorry if you feel that I'm attacking America, that was never my intention... Believe me... Look at the votes, not one yes and I've already voted...
Btw, I'm making a papper about America for a university class and everything you say here, I will take in to consideration when making the papper... So please, express your opinion in a sincere way...
This is a political thread... Not an attack...

That sounds like the definition of a Southerner...
Am I right Matt?
As far as the racism thing goes, I think that somehow it has turned around to bite you in the ass because white people are now afraid of sayng something about the black/afro-american people that will make them look racists... And the politically-correct approach they tried to have has gone too far...
It's not southerners its just hillbillys and rednecks which are extreme southerners. Yeah and your right there has been a lot of tension in some places. But most of my friends are African American/Black so it hasn't been a problem for a while.
Unless you count the Jena 6

Well in Louisiana A white boy hung a noose where 6 black boys sat everyday. Then the white boy picked a fight with them and they beat the white boy up. Now the Jena 6 went to jail. And this part of Louisiana is still racist they just don't have segregation. Now People are protesting both sides.
This is a more advance explanation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jena_Six
The ones we have here seem "fine"
