#of Americans not realising that on a lot of things they're kind of very outnumbered

Can I say as someone who's a Pacific Islander, lived in Australia, Oceania my whole life, it's absolutely mind-bending how many Americans think that when it comes to english speaking countries it's only them and Europe.

Like the "oh sorry I don't use Celsius like you Europeans" stuff, you know everyone uses that right? Everyone? Absolutely everyone in the world except you?

When you talk about having a kettle as a standard kitchen item and some Americans are like that's SO british. It's not? It's all of us doing that?

I'm not making this to try and rag on Americans I promise, this isn't an 'all those Americans are ignorant and we're not' post, I'm just saying it's very baffling to be a person on the internet who speaks English and says they're not American, the FIRST response is "okay European."

???

The vibe is very 'Americans are the standard, Europe is the only other real place and then there's the east'😭

Like most of us are in the Commonwealth, measuring with kilometres, doing Eurovision. Americans are the outlier😭

I just can't impress upon you how many times I have discussed a thing that isn't a standard in the USA for an American to assume it's only a fringe European practice, we're ALL doing that man, all the rest of the world exists, it's such a gamble for you to assume I can only be in your country or Britian ☠️

#can I say once the point of this post is NOT haha all Americans are like the trump man #and it's not 'Please tell me about the electric kettle you have despite being american' #its just talking about a very weird phenomenon I see all the time #of Americans not realising that on a lot of things they're kind of very outnumbered #and it's an Attitude or perspective that they often don't realise they're doing #anyways #text post #long text post #america #Australia #britain
