Where are you from?

>where are you from?
>he names an US state

>where are you from?
>he says "the continent of America" and insists America should only be called the United States

>what's your name?
>says he's the Central Intelligence Agency

>having a conversation
>suddenly calls you a big guy

>an united states state
unfuck your shit, retard

>"when I grow up I want to go to America!"
>he actually meant guatemala
>nobody ever

god i hate when united statians do that

Yeah, burgers need to give a name to their shitty collection of states already.

>"where are you from? "
>idaho
>gets mad when we ask where it is
>doesn't know why nobody likes him
Americans exchange students are the worst

allow me to explain:

when you ask an american where they're from, and they say a state, it's because each state in america is different and some are so vastly different that it's almost like you're in another country. we say it because it gives a better idea of where we're actually from.

whereas all you have to do is say you're from brazil and then everybody knows you're from a favela shithole.

ayy

...

Another prime example of American battle handering

>"Oh, so you're from Europe?"
>"Yes, but to be more specific, I'm actually from Belgium. You see, all of our countries are so unique and different, it's important to specify. because otherwise you may think I'm from Poland!"
>"Oh, cool!"

>"Oh, so you're from the US?"
>"Yes, but to be more specific, I'm actually from Maryland. You see, all of our states are different and have different cultures, mannerisims, etc, so it's good to specify, otherwise you may think I'm a hick from Arkansas!"
>"OH MY GOD AMERICANS NOBODY CARES WHERE YOU'RE FROM AMERICA IS ENOUGH JESUS CHRIST LIKE SHUT UP ALREADY THERE IS NO REASON TO KNOW WHERE YOU'RE FROM AT ANY LEVEL DEEPER THAN YOUR COUNTRY, GOD."

...

>Hawaii is the same as Alaska

>Hello, I am Savonian. I greet You puny Californian.

Hory sheet

>each state in america is different
Yeah sure, it's ok if you say the state first to an other American, but the rest of the world doesn't care enough and saying the state first to a non-American is just silly.

I'm from Maryland, a wealthy small state with low population, I don't want to be categorized along with Virginians or Pennsylvanians, I'm Maryland, and I think we should be a different country.

...

>Texas ia different from Mississippi

>I come from the European Union

>You see, all of our states are different and have different cultures, mannerisims, etc
Delusions

>americans actually think different states are different cultures

>I am not British
>I am English

Same with south and central America then, why the fuck would we care about foreigners, a European doesn't identify as Europeans when he travels most likely, why would I identify as an American

KIK KOK

wew
The rest of the world just doesn't care enough.

You are correct, you shouldn't identify as American.

A major part of Oregonian culture is defining ourselves as vastly superior to the degenerate Californian race.

>implying you've ever met anyone from idaho

god bless

Because Europe is not a fucking country you retard.
They were never united until the whole EU thing and even then it's just an economic union.

I made the name up since I couldn't be bothered to remember the correct state

Let's be honest here.
Only parts of USA that deserve to be named separately are Hawaii, Texas, California and Alaska. Everything else is just boring grey mass of states.

is it true that baltimore is the city of heroin?

You're right, Luxembourg is totally different then Belgium, much more of a difference there than Texas and California.

>whereas all you have to do is say you're from brazil and then everybody knows you're from a favela shithole.
all you gotta say is that you're from america and then everybody knows you're a white trash living in a parking lot.

There is no difference from them. Both are Mexican cultural colonies

Most countries in Europe will evoke you something, even if it's memes and stereotypes. If an american is not from either California, Texas, or New York people who don't know the country won't think of anything.

>much more of a difference there than Texas and California
you're absolutely right

>let's found the United States of Asia
>you chinese, japanese, koreans, vietnamese, taiwanese and all other countries are not asian anymore
>now you're from "east asia" and "west asia"
>we're the only ones who can be called asians
That makes a lot of sense, doesn't it?

>4th richest country per capita in the world

>y-you're all poor and living in parking lots!!

...

Besides language, name 10 things different between the two.

>I'm from Manitoba

Nobody even recognises Canadian province names you dumbfuck Canucks

Baltimore isnt that bad, when the riots were going on, I was at the wealthier part of the city waiting to pick up my sister in law, everything was normal except the radio was taking about some niggers rioting. Tbh, in don't do drugs so in wouldn't know. The rest of Maryland is pretty wealthy, especially central Maryland, where the normal house has 8 bedrooms.

Exactly, I'm not trash like from the backwards parts, I'm from a wealthy state.

The differences between states is more or less same as differences between nations

for a 1st world country america sure does have a shitty education system
ever heard of sarcasm?

hehe memes

People just don't care enough and will never do.
Just deal with it.
It's like me getting mad because someone doesn't know the difference between Chileans and Mexicans, they wouldn't know unless theay are really into it.

>shitty education system

>almost every single top uni in the world is here

hmmm

>besides language
>implying language isn't one of the biggest cultural factors
I'm sure the USA of 2050 that is 90% spanish speaking will be the same USA as 1950

That's fine, but if someone asks, are you just going to say South America?

...

But they are filled with azns and pajeets. When was the last time affirmative actions let an American inside an ivy league school?

>The differences between states is more or less same as differences between nations
>the difference between USA and Somalia is the same as New York and New Jersey

I'm sure New Yorkers would agree with this

they're still mostly white americans my friend

you know who doesn't go to them? or school at all? brazilians

The geographical distance is too far?

>HELLO I'M BRUCE FROM QUEENSLAND

>>the difference between USA and Somalia is the same as New York and New Jersey

you could've picked a better example because this is true

Why does this trigger you so much? I always inquire about what city or region someone is from.

And you people are on Sup Forums for fuck sake. I realize the average person probably doesn't give a shit, but you guys should be curious about these things.

Semantics: The Thread

It's nice of you to admit that united statians act like africans

100% correct

hello achmeds

we iz kingz

Correct, there is nothing similar between those 2 people actually, you should visit

>20 million is the same as 310 million

Keked

>The differences between states is more or less same as differences between nations
Let's take France and Germany (neighboring countries) as an example
>languages from different language families
>food is completely different
>different ethnic background (french are celtic with latin, germans are germanic)
>different history
This one we gotta flash out. France was the pinnacle of Feudalism during the middle-ages while Germany was a clusterfuck of city-states and confederations up until ~150 years ago.
The only difference between american states is the year they were annexed or if they were bought from France or whatever.
So, while there are differences between US states, it is not enough for a foreigner to care about or know about. You saying that you're from Michigan or Alabama or whatever will mean absolutely nothing for 99%¨of foreigners. You're probably more familiar with Brazil than 99% of Americans, and if I tell you i'm from the west of São Paulo does it mean something to you? Absolutely not, because while here is different than the shittier, blackier, poorer parts of the country, it's not enough for a foreigner to distinguish.
You're probably not going to get accepted in any of them. "Education system" implies "public education system".

I've been in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. There is literally no difference.

>those filthy texans have 16% more sunburns than us civilized new yorkers! We are totally different!

Yeah... Except even the languages are different.

>where are you from?
>I'm from Europe! :)

>You're probably not going to get accepted in any of them. "Education system" implies "public education system".

>The top universities in the world are mostly filled by white americans

>the education system is bad

did you even go to school growing up or were you too busy helping mom with the banana stall to get an education?

>Let me tell you about ....

I'm pretty sure an Americans response would be heavier, ive been too several countries too, and I can say that I couldn't find a difference between Austria and Switzerland. Or with France and Belgium

Jajajajajaja

Yea, sure thing.
Also, I learned english from selling bananas to foreigners at the beach, not by being upper class.

It would be different if China was called the United States of Asia but I agree with you regardless.

Once again the proving the memes real

>can't find a difference between a country speaking french and italian and a country speaking german

Except that half of Switzerland doesn't speak German while all of Austria does and half of Belgium speaks Dutch and everyone in France (except some bretons) speak French.

That's not an argument

There is nothing,NOTHING,like being from California. You see, the rest of the country is to California, what the rest of the world is to U.S.A. You're irrelevant. We barley think about you. And just like the rest of the world loves to hate on the U.S because they're jealous, so do the flyover tears flow. To be from the Golden state is a feeling that simply cannot be put into words. It is the pinnacle of cool.The laid back land. EVERY American wished,deep down, that they would be lucky enough to be born here. but they can't. And it hurts them,so lash out. therefor every time I hear someone from like arkansas(lol) say "oh your'e not so great blah blah blah" i know what they really mean. "I envy you and your inherent relevance." It's good being superior.

When I ask internationals where they're from they usually say city and sometimes province or country. It usually just leads to conversation about where that is and not really what your problem is with that desu.

>Wow, they speak different languages!

Much muh Jews, man, you really are good are arguments.

Yea, no. I'm sorry but I cant take you seriously anymore

Difference is one's a union, where the people are actually different.

The irony of this screenshot will be lost on most of you. It's American humor.

>jews are a race

wew

i could convert to judaism and be a part of that statistic even though I am 100% white

Different languages, and......?!

Same shit, people do the same shit, same food, same scenery

Not something monolingual people would know

Brazil has to justify how they're different from the rest of south america besides

>we speak butchered portuguese!

>The irony of this screenshot will be lost on most of you. It's American humor.

Nice try. He's being 100% serious.

Just like good ol usa

so you've seen 3 states of 50, all of which border each other and belong to the same cultural region, and you've decided that's how all of america is?

next time you're in the united states take a trip down to alabama and see how much like new york it is.

I'm from Illinois

Americans always try this on. Don't worry about it
