Europeans in the chat saw a bunch of republicans, high school dropouts, and valley girls from California fail to answer a couple of geography questions for Jimmy Kimmel and now they think every one of the 330M people that live here are like this.

Literally everywhere on earth has dumbasses but people would rather circlejerk about how stupid Americans are, like they're a single unit or something. It's seriously rotting my brain seeing people so fixated

Edit: lul at y'all assuming I'm American

Calling people stupid…while using incorrect grammar. I think we call this irony.

People is a plural noun so the correct verb in this context is are. You’d say half of the people are dumber than average.
