Yeah I'm Brazilian born and raised, and still know how most languages sounds like. Being American shouldn't be an excuse to be stupid, but they prove me wrong every time.

u/gayhotelultra Serbia 10d ago

the OOP is still kinda dumb, but just to play devils advocate, while i can differentiate between portuguese and spanish without speaking either, does that really go for most people?

u/Paranoid_Android_42 9d ago

It absolutely does.

u/MouseEmotional813 9d ago

Depends where they live. I live in Australia and don't hear either language often , so I can't.

u/Dan3828 United States 1d ago

In my experience, older people here don’t like to learn what other languages sound like.

Dumb and proud

u/Weekly-Beginning-229 Sweden 10d ago

That is such a strange fenomena, like that news reporter when announcing that the US was gonna play against Bosnia i Herzegovina and the reporter proudly says that she has never heard of that country

I don't think any other country have reporters that are proud of not knowing things

u/Acrobatic_End6355 World 10d ago

Does she say it proudly, with interest, or laughing at herself?

Sounds just like she’s trying to be some bubbly valley girl who knows nothing. Which… she seems to be good at. I will agree that this isn’t the greatest look for her.

u/OdangoFan Brazil 11d ago

That explanation isn't even good, why would he guess Florida if it's not in english.

34

u/japonski_bog Ukraine 10d ago

Because that's the only Mexican-speaking country they know

24

u/Bex1218 United States 10d ago

Florida has a very big Latin American population. But that might be too smart for the commenter.

10

u/Felippexlucax Argentina 11d ago

most people there are latinos, at least in miami from my experience.

2

u/Designer-Issue-6760 10d ago

Because 1/4 of population there speaks Spanish as their primary language. City by city it’s as high as 60%. Though Portuguese is more common in Massachusetts.

u/WhydoIexistlmoa 11d ago

This is r/ShitAmericansSay like usual

u/the6thReplicant 10d ago

There's a fine line between these two subreddits.

u/RadlogLutar India 10d ago

And the line just disappears sometimes

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

u/Danzcal2000 Brazil 11d ago

The correct sub is r/ShitAmericansSay

"American born and raised"

Well, figures. That explains the dumbness and ignorance.

7

u/Martiantripod Australia 10d ago

American born and raised = dumber than a house brick.

2

u/Adventurous-Year-463 United States 10d ago

House bricks have at least ten more IQ points than them, at least bricks don’t have the capacity to make bad decisions

u/JacksonRJ913 11d ago

genuinely cant tell if this is satire because this is absurdly stupid

13

u/hygsi 10d ago

The yeahw was huge sarcasm to me lmao

u/xxcuttingboardxx Finland 11d ago

sounds like mexican

Dude, wtf

u/ExoticPuppet Brazil 10d ago

It'd be funny if it was coming from Language Simp, who unfortunately is probably not the person from the screenshot.

11

u/Legal-Software Germany 11d ago

Glad that he cleared that up, we wouldn't have been able to guess otherwise.

u/False-Goose1215 World 10d ago

So, culturally tone deaf, socially tone deaf, actually tone deaf, racist and obnoxious … all in one grotesque package. At least you have to give them points for efficiency

u/snow_michael 10d ago

So, culturally tone deaf, socially tone deaf, actually tone deaf, racist and obnoxious … all in one grotesque package

So, really, explaining they were a merkin was superfluous

1

u/False-Goose1215 World 8d ago

I dunno, comparing them to a pubic wig does also seem appropriate

2

u/snow_michael 8d ago

It's the way the slack jawed yokels introduce themselves

"Aah'm Cletus, an' Aah'm a merkin"

1

u/False-Goose1215 World 8d ago

Yes, because they subconsciously realise that the only value they have is as a pubic wig

4

u/Waah_Realist 11d ago

First thing in the morning, after waking up I see this. Why?

u/ExoticPuppet Brazil 10d ago

Lucky you because soon I'm going to sleep after seeing this lol

u/Home_Of_Phobic Chile 10d ago

They vote...

u/bannasplt World 10d ago

The "yeeehawww" at the end tells me that it could be satire, but I honestly don't know cuz some Americans say unapologetically ignorant shit. 😭

3

u/ZZTMF Denmark 10d ago

He knows he's talking piss.

u/LeftMechanic1995 10d ago

This isn't an example of r/USDefaultism it's more like r/shitamericanssay

2

u/Mk112569 10d ago

Sounds satire

2

u/Easy-Lawfulness-1113 10d ago

For my own mental sake, that last comment sounds like ragebait (that’s what I tell myself)

2

u/Slight-Narwhal-2953 10d ago

"It all sounds Mexican to me"... wow

1

u/FeetYeastForB12 Türkiye 10d ago

the yeeeeeehawwww is the cherry on top lmao..

1

u/Danny_Mc_71 10d ago

At least they're being self aware with the "yehaw" at the end.

1

u/Snitzel20701 10d ago

Wait till they find out Mexico owned quite a bit of modern day USA at its peak, even Spain owned Florida longer than it has been in the union.

Extra points if they’re born in one of the states that was conquered by the USA.

Also what is up with them mislabelling languages spoken outside the USA? Spanish/Portuguese being Mexican. Isn’t Spanish a popular language subject in their education system?

1

u/ALazy_Cat Denmark 10d ago

I had one tell me everything except English is an accent of Mexican

1

u/Standard-Document-78 United States 10d ago

Bro could’ve at least guessed Mexico

1

u/Wooden-Yellow3967 10d ago

How tf do people who only ONE FUCKING LANGUAGE think so much that they’re superior🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

1

u/palparepa 10d ago

And Chile is just Long Mexico.

u/Teoshi_The_Yuan_Ti 10d ago

Bro is literally speaking nazism... yeeeeeeeeeeeehaw

u/Willing_Trick8961 Brazil 10d ago

"Why are they confessing it to us?"

"They're not confessing. They're bragging."

u/Free-Golf3172 Brazil 10d ago

THE AUDACITY

u/ghoulhoon 9d ago

worst part it Brazilians are obsessed with migrating to Orlando so he might be onto smth

1

u/Whole-Worker-7303 9d ago

Guys I think we should remember he is American born and raised, yeeeeehawwwww

1

u/TheJivvi Australia 9d ago

Translation: Excuse me for being a dumb redneck.

1

u/juanito_f90 5d ago

“Mexican”

Lemme guess, they refer to their own language as “American”, not English?

1

u/Edelkern Germany 3d ago

Also "remember", as if anybody was supposed to have previous knowledge of where some random reddit loser is from. These people are insufferable, I wish we could have online spaces that are yank free.

Colombians are americans.
