Nobody’s perfect, and everyone has knowledge blind spots. It’s healthy to recognize your shortcomings and be able to laugh at them. Sometimes, that means chuckling at yourself after you get called out online for saying something, well… less than smart.
Bored Panda has collected some of the funniest moments when Europeans gently roasted Americans for writing bizarre comments online, from all over the internet. Scroll down to see some of the most cringy insights and witty takedowns.
Just keep in mind that none of this is meant to promote meanness. It’s all for the sake of lighthearted humor. We all say dumb things from time to time, no matter where we’re from.

Learning to respect other cultures doesn’t happen overnight. It requires dedication, open-mindedness, and a willingness to acknowledge your own biases and knowledge blind spots. Traveling abroad, doing research about other countries’ histories, and talking to people from different backgrounds and with different perspectives can help broaden your mind. As a rule of thumb, if you can recognize that you’ve said some dumb things in the past, it shows that you’re maturing and that your self-awareness is growing
When traveling, it’s not enough to put on a silly tourist hat, grab your camera, and enjoy the sights. It’s best to go abroad with empathy and curiosity, instead of demanding the rest of the world conform to your expectations and assumptions.

BeesEelsAndPups 10 hours ago
Not entirely your fault friend. When I moved to the US as a kid I was surprised to be taught that Henry Ford "invented" the modern assembly line. While he did introduce it to the US auto industry, assembly lines existed long before the Industrial Revolution. The concept was even discussed in the Wealth of Nations, a book by the Scottish economist Adam Smith, published in the late 18th Century. Hell Xenophon describes the creation of highly specialized divisions of labor in his work Cyropaedia, written in the 4th century BCE. There he observes that as cities grow, labor becomes more specialized into narrower aspects of production. That he envisions that as the complexity of production grows, he could foresee these specializations continue to narrow in such a way that a single item would be produced by a group of highly specialized professionals, rather than a single person from start to finish. Of course, he was a politician and a military leader, not a factory owner.

For example, this can be as simple as not being noisy at night or respecting local religious traditions.

In my country (Australia) we don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but we have, however, adopted your tradition of Black Friday - most major retailers have big Black Friday sales that run over the weekend. Normally we grumble when American culture creeps into our country, but nobody really complains about the sales because it means we get a chance to buy up all our big ticket Christmas presents
It should be common sense, but seeing as it’s in particularly short supply these days, it’s important to remember not to litter or damage landmarks. Not only is this immoral behavior, but depending on the country, you can get in some serious legal trouble, too.
Furthermore, during your travels, try to avoid taking part in activities that exploit other people or animals.

Don't Use A Spanish Word Because Of US Race Issues?

I was adopted at birth into a Hispanic/Mexican-American family, and when I was a little kid, my great-grandma (who immigrated to the US from Mexico) had a little black dog whose name was "Négro". My great-grandma didn't speak much English and had NO idea that the word was offensive in English/American. Similarly, I used to get a lot of Christmas and birthday gifts of Mexican marker and crayon sets from my Mexican relatives, and yep, the black markers/crayons were labeled "négro" XD It's not an offensive term in Spanish because it's LITERALLY the word for "black" the color, but one must be aware and careful speaking Spanish in America as it IS an offensive racial slur in English.
BeesEelsAndPups 10 hours ago
In Spanish and Portuguese there are two words for Black. We both have "negro(a)", of course. But we have a second word that specifically refers to people of black skin. In spanish it is "prieto(a)" and in portuguese it's "preto(a)". These are considered offensive in our countries, though. However, at least in Brazil, it is common hear "preto" used to describe objects. Like that is a "carro preto" (black car). Race and racism are complicated topics in Brazil though, especially when so many people identify as "pardo" (brown) or mixed race, and we have such a deep and unsettling history with slavery.

At the time of writing, this group boasts 391k members, or, as the moderators jokingly and ironically call them, ‘commie socialists.’ Meanwhile, currently online members are wittily referred to as ‘hating freedom.’
These are both sarcastic comments about how some Americans have incredibly biased, non-factual, bizarre perspectives about life in European countries.

"Although My Ancestry DNA Gives Me Zero Italian DNA On My Dad's Side, I'll Stick With Being 1/4 Italian"

Most of us know, deep down, that our country has ZERO cultural history, and we're sad and angry and jealous about it, so we grab on to our genetic ethnicity in order to fill that sad empty cultural hole within ourselves XD (I actually hate the "HURR I'M TOTALLY IRISH" type of thing, but it's legit that a lot of Americans either embrace "HELL YEAH!! MURICA!!" culture for this reason, or cling to "I'm 1/8th Irish and that makes me Irish!!" - we have very little culture and history of our own.)

Ancestry DNA is just a bunch of statistics held together with duct tape. They break down your DNA in pieces and associate each with the area where it is most commonly found. But nothing in DNA is really exclusive from a region. It can be useful on a population and historical level to track the flow of people. And even nowadays it's not quite relevant anymore. But as a single person... It's a lottery.

"We Rank Higher Than Most Countries In Food Health And Safety"
LakotaWolf (she/her) 17 hours ago
I'm American and - I am not being facetious - 99% of my family members are overweight/obese/morbidly obese. Fast food is everywhere and easy to get, and there is sugar added to EVERYTHING - our ketchup, our bread, etc. SO many of my relatives have Type II diabetes. One of my cousins died aged 24 due to massive kidney failure from his diabetes that he refused to deal with/treat. My aunt's mom had to have her arm amputated due to diabetes-caused gangrene. So many of my family members have died due to diabetes-related causes or complications from morbid obesity. My younger cousin was obese by the time she was 6. It's absolutely heartbreaking. (And it's 100% self-caused obesity in my family, not from PCOS or other health issues.) We used to have a huge family, and there are only about a dozen of my close relatives left alive at this point. It s***s. Not blaming Murica entirely as my family members had full control over what they ate (and we don't live in a food desert), but man.

I vaguely recall some athlete traveling to a country where weed is very, VERY illegal (I think Indonesia?) and he brought weed with him and got caught. IIRC he WAS jailed for it and got all píssy about "his rights" and how weed wasn't illegal in America so it was totally acceptable for him to have it, because HE was American. Absolutely shameful.
