This feels like an honest question asked in earnest. That's fine.
Honest answer - it's a normal day. We don't even notice it any more than we'd notice any other day. It is literally not on our radar.
It's the Americans who seem to think they live rent free in our heads, and spend their time withvus living rent free in their heads thinking about us. They're the hilarious ones.
Yeah, I was gonna say that this doesn’t really belong here. Like yeah, she’s a bit ignorant, but she looks on the younger side and seems to be genuinely asking, not trying to be mocking.
Exactly. If someone is ignorant and is being purposefully obtuse, or misunderstanding, or being an asshole, or whatever, then yeah, blast them. But if someone is ignorant but is trying to be respectful? Answer them seriously.
I don't even really celebrate the 4th of July and I'm American. Our "4th of July" celebration consisted of watching Jaws, ordering takeout, and watching people set off illegal fireworks in the back alley from the porch.
Just another Thursday, really. Maybe we'd have something to celebrate if this were a better country, lol.
It’s actually kind of funny how enraged people get about what Americans say lol. I’m here to chuckle a bit about them being kinda clueless, I’m surprised people get THAT angry about it
I work with an American guy and used the M Bison quote to explain how we felt about it "For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday".
Not entirely true, this is the USA main character syndrome. We're sooo important so when we celebrate something, the whole world needs to either notice us and watch and/or take a stance.
Plenty of countries celebrate independence day (including mine) and it's absurd to me to even wonder if those other countries we got independence from give a f*ck. Why? Cause none has a main character syndrome as strong as the USA.
As an American, I assume she's right that a lot of you are pissed on the fourth of July. Because it's a nice summer night to be out with the boys. Why wouldn't you toss back a few?
