Most American think that all hispanics come from Mexico
Mexico is big, but not that big!![]()
Most Americans will never care about soccer.
Most Americans will probably never have affordable health insurance or higher education.
WHAT??? Aw, come on. That is just wrong....might be true, I dunno, but I love soccer and played it in high school, and still play pick up games near me....totally depends on who you are and where you are!

I love soccer as well I gotta keep up with my stereotype
Most "americans" will never realize there is more than one country in America.
Btw I've done everything on the op's list, what did I win?
Too funny. I play for the fun of it. lol. Just teasing. There are pockets of soccer lovers -- the other football, I guess, in the US. Blah, stereotypes. They really are odd.
Huh? more than one country in America? I give up. What's the other country in America??? Are you referring to the United States and the territories? Guam, Puerto Rico, Philippines and such? I sure hope that most American's realize this because I think it's taught in 4th grade.....
wait, what am I saying....wasn't there a Miss America who didn't know much about countries and so on??
embarrassing. really.![]()
Last time I checked America had 35 countries in it, the united states is only one of them.
Your mention of culture is wild sinceAs I travel, and when I read boards like LPSG, I've subconsciously been making a list of how Americans differ from contemporaries in other countries/cultures. Some things that seem quite normal in the UK, like taking a train to work or see friends, are not commonplace in the US. Here are some off the top of my head that may or may not be true, but seem like it to me.
Most Americans will never in their lives...
take a train. (only about 20% of people I know have) Most everyone has. You apparently are talking to people in a dark cavern somewhere.
drive a manual transmission car. (or maybe even be in one) Plenty have.
taste marmite or vegemite. So? There are foods here that will never be tasted by people in other countries. And you forgot to list the tasty wasp. Apparently there are people in some places who eat wasps....a source of protein....
know how to tell temperature in celsius. So? Can the majority of the rest of the world tell temps. in Fahrenheit? Does a college freshman in another country understand weights in ounces?
touch an uncut cock. Circumcision rates are dropping. In certain places of the U.S. there are less circumcisions than leaving the child as is.
use a bidet. (or even know how to use one) Why would I want to? Waste of water and of space. Additional plumbing problem, one more thing to clean. Not worth it.
share a table at a restaurant with strangers. It happens in many fast food joints and even some restaurants where tables are large and the crowds need to be seated. Also to a degree in restaurants which push several tables for 4 next to each other, making each a table for 2 and then there are several people seated to your left and right, as well as your date across from you.
get nude with friends. (skinnydipping, showers or just horsing around -- particularly today's youth)
Possibly. In my youth it was common place and from what I can tell it hasn't ended completely especially in small towns.
I'm not even sure a majority of Americans will have ridden an intercity bus, or any bus, other than a school bus.
Many people commute, many people take a major bus line to visit a relative in a nearby city or town.
Can you think of more things that are commonplace outside the US but that most Americans would not have experienced? Are there some things that people in your culture mostly have not experienced, that most Americans have/do?
Soccer is gaining popularity in the U.S. It's come a long way and has a ways to go but it's getting there.....remember this is the country of Soccer MomsMost Americans will never care about soccer.
Most Americans will never in their lives...
Really? You gotta add the term North to be accurate. Or South. Maybe refer to a map...?
