I know this makes all us Americans look bad but we're not. The problem is a lot of people just don't think there is world out side of the US. I was able to answer most of the question. You have to realize the people chose the middle east a lot because they are bombarded with wrong information about people there and don't bother to learn otherwise. My mom always said happy are the ignorant. If you talk to most Americans we do not feel this way. We also have people here that don't want anyone who isn't like them here, happy to say they are a minority.

If you look at history things like this have always happend. You judge as stupid, have you everbeen here. If you haven't your not being very intelligent by judging people you haven't personally met. By the way is anything ever done on Youtube ever real?

To be fair, did they try the same thing with British people. Probably not, or they might come to the same conclusions about them. Who knows how many people got the answers right but they didn't play those clips they only show the ones that make us look stupid.

I think it's racism. There are a lot of intelligent Americans here, you can't call all of them stupid because they have some stupid neighbors. There are a lot of stupid guys here in my Country also... there are stupids everywhere.

I understand your point of view but, look at that question: Q: How many sides does a triangle have?? A: Damm, four Q: How many sides does a triangle have?? A: There is no sides....one?? ...no word to describe that...

I don't think Americans are more stupid than any other people but they are certainly frequently ignorant and lacking curiosity about the world. I think what you see on that video is what happens when you destroy intellect in public schools and create a consumer culture instead of one that encourages people to explore what it means to be human and what their place should be in the world community.

I have no idea. They're possibly joking. It's incredible.

Many students from other countries have come to the United States to get their master's degrees & their doctorates. When they went back to their home lands, guess who got hired first. Many of them were hired instead of those who got their degrees from colleges & universities on their own homeland. Furthermore, master's degrees & doctorates from other countries are often not considered valid degrees in the United States.

Not all Americans are THAT stupid. They picked a handful of the stupidest ones out there, and asked them questions that are way above them. These people DO NOT represent the United States of America. I can't believe this crap!

No, for me american are not stupid! american are the most smart people in the world! they "import" all the brains in the world to work there and they forget to teach the american kids to think! the american "natives" (if you can call them that!!!) are the working hands of a system that has the prepotence to thing they are the king of the world but that works with the mine of all the people that aren't american! the problem of america is that they don't care about anything but themself! the problem of americans, is that they don't want to think so they do and say stupid things!
