How the Dutch View Americans? Amsterdam

Sounds like the best defense against being mediocre is making ourselves appear better than we are.

Intolerant.
Religious.
Better than everybody else.
Loud, obnoxious.
America thinks it is big, big, big.
Obese, fat, eat a lot.
Easy to manipulate. Dumb, ignorant.

cut their doors in half.

...got pot at Hard Rock café! and the food is DEEEEEEElicious! We watched a crazy man completely disrobe at the train station. The cops circled him and just let him finish...he then put his clothes back on and went on his way and so did the cops. He was black. he would have been shot in America.

I lived in Amsterdam for a short period of time and wanted to move there....I LOVE IT.

When I originally saw this I agreed with what their so called stereotypes of Americans were and upon a second viewing I still do.

friendliness being fake are a little harsh. I think most Americans are pretty friendly in general. Like the British man said, he believes it's mostly from the heart.

Of course all of these are just stereotypes and not everyone fits them. I would be interested to hear what their stereotypes are of people from other nations. I have traveled around Europe quite a bit and talked to a lot of Europeans and many of them have very negative stereotypes of people from other European countries, so it's not just us.

I completely agree with their view of our government and foreign policy. It's now even worse under Trump.

they are essentially working for the tips.
