America from a European perspective
America from a European perspective
Surprisingly accurate.
97ReplyEuropean here, these are what different states or areas of the USA remind me of (like what's the first think I think of when I hear it's name):
- Southern states: right wing twats
- Alabama: incest
- Florida: gators and really, really weird news headlines
- Texas: stupidly large trucks, guns and cowboys
- Alaska: cold, that one goldrush
- California: expensive, liberal
- Ohio: those fucking memes
- Hawaii: warm, colonialism
- Mississippi: riverboats
- Washington: why the hell is the city of Washington not in Washington?
65ReplyThe blue one just needs to be switched to alcoholism and drugs. Then it's perfect.
45ReplyThey put Detroit in the wrong spot
43ReplyThe Incest area is way too small. The Cowboy area is way too big.
39ReplyThe incest region needs to be way larger and be labeled incest/religious nutcases. Rest is pretty much spot on.
34ReplyTBH probably more accurate than an American perspective.
31Reply 29ReplySadly, Cowboy and New York are much smaller and incest is much larger.
23ReplyAs a European who doesn't know much about the states: This is pretty accurate. I would exchange gators for florida man and I don't know what the cars and crime one is but otherwise it's spot on.
23ReplyI'm surprised anyone there knows that the UP of Michigan exists. It's a sparcely populated area with low crime. Hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and drinking.
21ReplyThey think Seattle is full of cowboys?
20ReplyTo be fair, the incest is probably a bit more widespread than that. Also, potentially more popular in Appalachia than around that area. I think eastern Kentucky/West Virginia has the highest rates of inbreeding than any other part of the country, at least that's what some other guy on the internet commented, so that's a fairly trustworthy source.
20ReplyI'd change Florida to Disney World because that's the main reason anyone would get a passport to go to Florida.
17ReplyYou forgot the "Country roads, take me home, to the place, I belong!" part.
17ReplyEh, not far off
17ReplyI'd just like to point out that some European countries have higher rates of incest than the US.
Cousin marriage is also illegal in much of the US while it is legal in much of Europe.
In fact, if this is to be believed (not a clue how accurate this is), Spain, Portugal, and Italy (as well as Canada and Mexico) have higher rates of incest than any single state in the United States.
15ReplyAnd where do the religious nuts go?
15ReplyI think this map was made by an American cos it's referencing cultural things that I don't know or care about.
14ReplyNah, Cowboys are South.
Middle are "Religious Nutcases"
14ReplyInteresting that your perspective includes less incest than mine... And I live in Alabama!
13ReplyDon't you know that the entire west coast is just Los Angeles?
12ReplyThat's more what an American thinks a European perspective is.
12ReplyHawaii and Alaska are just ???
12ReplyNot entirely inaccurate...
12ReplyI thought Texas was a place of Beers, Steers + Qveers.
11ReplyNorth California is way more "cowboy" than "movie", by the way.
10ReplyI'll have you know Louisiana has nearly double the alligators of Florida, and Florida legally allows marriage between first cousins. So boom.
10ReplyWe don't talk about Alaska
10ReplyJust going to put all of the deep south in New York huh.
10ReplyI always assumed that the cowboy area was bigger!
9ReplyI'm surprised it's not just one color called "Opioids"
9ReplyCome on, you mean to tell me the United States of America were a real country? How ludicrous!
8ReplyFrom a US-American perspective, pretty much, yeah
8ReplyI dunno man, every time I was in Europe and told people I was from Seattle they were like, Nirvana!!! Even like decades after Cobain killed himself.
8Replyny is only on the east coast. flyover states are between movie and ny. the incest states should be bigger. gator should be renamed to florida man.
8Replyincest needs to span further upward i think, but other than that it's a surprisingly accurate depiction of the US lolol
7ReplyAnd here I thought the whole orange part was the incest part <_<
7ReplyPut some respek on the peninsula! It's gorgeous up there!
7ReplyWashington doesn't deserve to be part of the cowboy. No one cares about the east side of it
7ReplyCowboys, incest, but no meth?
6ReplyMore like:
Canada
USA
Mexico
Why would anyone care about second level government zones?
5Replycan confirm
5ReplyI also know where Vermont (or rather home in the USA) is thanks to Bernie Sanders. But otherwise, pretty accurate.
5ReplyFrom a south american perspective, one color, "hates me"
5ReplyCan't believe you'd do New England dirty like that
4ReplyLemons, oranges, incest, lesbian incest and grapefruits
3ReplyThe bottom half of New York should be incest, and then New York should be extended to include Canada's big cities
3ReplyNot even wrong
3ReplyAnd pasta
2ReplyEh, not only is it not terribly accurate, but the jokes are overused.
2ReplyFood
1ReplyAdd a bubble for "backwoods removed" from Georgia (minus Atlanta), the Carolinas, Tennessee, and the Virginias and you're dead on.
0ReplyYou mean USA.
0ReplyThe europoor can't even afford a trip to Nebraska. Can't blame them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
-1ReplyThis probably gives Europeans too much credit.
-2ReplyYou have no idea how offensive this is to literally all of us.
-2ReplyI mean thats what happens when you murder or drive out all the original inhabitants. Then you get to start your own history, that was the point, right guys?
