It's because most of the folks in our country have never left nor do they even look outside of the US. When you have nothing to compare to, you can't be grateful for what you have.
People saying the US is struggling meanwhile everyone is walking around with a smart phone worth more than an entire years wages for someone in another country. It's amazing isn't it?
"if you think any Anglo country is racist, I congratulate you on your naivety"
I have no intention of leaving the US because it's the greatest nation on earth. I do enjoy watching travel videos though.
yup.. this is exactly why. all we see is Instagram bs and social media crap. plus were America.... very very rich compared to other countries.
Most of these people he is describing don't leave the city or suburb they live in. Some move to more urban places and only further their indoctrination and lack of discernment of the lies of the media.
"If you think America is bad, we have it way worse in America..."
This comment is underrated
Laughing my azz off !!
USA #1! USB #2!!
Hold up something ain’t right
That's very cash money of you.
I really appreciate this message. As someone who’s spent half my life living overseas, I’m always bewildered by the bitching and moaning from Americans because they feel so short-changed. Yes, times are hard, and within the context of the US, thing could be A LOT better. But come on, until you witness real world poverty, violence, instability, prejudice, you don’t realize how chill America is.
'Times are hard."
You may have missed the point.
Well said and the truth 👍👍. They need to go to my Country ( Cambodia) and see what "hard time really is) lol smh
@@claytonsullivan5646he literally said that he meant relative to past iterations of the US.
Correct.
Nah you wildin America is fucken up fentanyl and hella lot of junkys NA is fucken for me as Austrian.
Agree 100%
The more spoiled you are the less happy and winy you are. I once was feeling sorry for myself after getting divorced, until I traveled and witnessed the impoverished areas of other countries and experienced their government corruption. Proud and fortunate to be an American.
As an American, I agree. When you don't have much to complain about, people will find something to complain about.
And that includes small things that shouldn't be a problem at all like "is math racist?" or "tall buildings are sexist"
I think the news and social media has an agenda against certain peoples...it's cancel culture, virtue signaling, xenophobia racial bs... it's the divide and conquer technique of the enemy aka global elites....the 'all white men are bad' agenda, ' the white supremacy 'bs being rammed down white peoples throats.... giving the younger Caucasian generations an inferiority complex and making Caucasians feel bad for bring born white. Add to it the gender confusion...deceptions, lies and erosion of freedoms and liberties that were once enjoyed. Getting whammied in several directions...by the big global agenda....theres a literal attack being played upon the white race at present and against americans cause they are freedom fighters and stand for constitution rights that are presently being striped away from them...as are the western nations as well. Is that racist...no...just the plain overall Truth!!!
It's the tactic of the enemy...divide, isolate and conquer. A divided house can not stand..and the enemy is also playing the 'race card' too. Also ethnic against ethnic...and if that don't work..wars and rumours of wars... divide and scare the living day lites outta each other....the piling up of many calamities to overwhelm the people's too. The ebemy is projecting lots of fear porn too via news abd socisl media as well. A multifaceted agenda in play at present...tshf scenerio could also well be possible. All hell breaking loose it sounds like it too.
@@bunnssgalore5407 Nobody says that

Of course, the US and Europe have things better than South America, Africa, Asia, etc. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't complain or try to improve the issues that our societies face, nor does it mean we should dismiss the good aspects of countries that are not on the whole better off.

Oh dear.
They actually say that? O.o I've heard Northern Europeans whine about minor things in their countries(while ignoring the big issues), but I've never heard any of them say anything so stupid...

It’s so great to hear someone appreciate the goodness at the very heart of America! If we, the USA have a problem we can work to change and I see US growing and progressing for the better. I just wish people wouldn’t try to change with violence. The violence seems to only divide and create animosity’s.
I have lived overseas and I love it but there’s no place I’d rather be and live in, than the United States of America….land that I love!
“progressing for the better” by what? voting in a system where both parties hate anyone below a god tier tax bracket?
US is going down the toilet lmao
I'm American and had to watch this because I was like, "he's right... is the reason he's saying it right?" LOVE THAT *you're dead on!* Americans do really think our problems are worse than anywhere else. We've had it so good for so long that any problem we experience shocks us. We're constantly navel-gazing. It's pretty terrible... I wish more Americans spent time abroad (not just as a tourist) as part of their education so they had a better sense of the reality of the world. Thank you thank you thank you for calling us out on our bullshit - I wish more foreigners in America would!
I am from Zambia and lived the first 40 years in Africa. I haved now lived in Australia for 20 years. What struck a chord with me is I often find myself defending Australia from Australians. Seems to me that born and raised Australians don't know what a truly great country they have.
I'm an aussie and i agree %100
I know right, any time I complain, and I do, I make sure I also mention that its all first world problems and in perspective things are great down under, if not the best in the world
The propaganda is real. People in my country hate it saying they are oppressed. I came from real oppression and it makes my head spin.
Mate this stuff has always done my head in
Like yeah mate we have problems but fuck we aren’t that bad. Hell we are actually pretty good
@@logos9619 lol same, god i looked at covid news in france and people say it's a "dictatorship"..
they really think we're trapped in the worst country..
I'm Asian American. During my mid-year performance review 2 weeks ago, my non-Asian manager brought up the recent Asian hate crimes and asked me about my well-being. I was pleasantly surprised. The media often has a negative bias when it comes to reporting. We often ignore the good and focus too much on the bad. Racial tensions are going to exist anywhere. That's a fact. However, we as a nation should not overlook the progress we made.
as an Asian, I don't like them calling it Asian hate crime. Its just a crime and we have no clue what they are thinking(unless they specifically state the reasons of their actions), no different if it is committed against a black person or Asian. A crime is a crime and we need to stop classifying by race.
That's because the media can only report happenings, not none-happenings. The media can't and won't report "there is nothing abnormal happened in Tucson yesterday." So is most people. very few people appreciate living and peace.
The media manufactures and overhypes a problem to attract viewers and for political motives
Yeah, just let us normalize racially motivated violence instead. Progress has been made undoubtedly but focusing on that alone and ignoring the other side as you seem to propose it is the aditude of depressed whales heading for the beach... And how could media possibly report violence against people in a more "positive" fashion as you seem to suggest it? You're making a non-argument just because you're not one of the victims while ignoring the fact that you very much could have been.
@@johnnyyuma7337 I'm more inclined to say don't cry wolf unless you are 100 percent sure it is the reason, cause it is just noise covering real issues like Shin Jiang Uighurs.
Geez, I like America. I could be basically anything I want, even a clown-themed streamer playing exclusively Tetris knock-offs and ending my sentences in dog puns, and I actually have a chance of making a living off of it and only really being harassed by viewers (and maybe even get a nice article about me on Gamespot or Vice or something). It’s wild what you can do here and everybody thinks that the US bad because Twitter. Smh.
lol I love how oddly specific that is.
“because twitter” and not because of the bipartisan drone bombings that kill civilians overseas funded by our tax dollars??? how does that boot taste stupid
@@qsm2978 You’re right, my bad. I’ll leave my dreams of clown-based streaming behind and pursue a life of woke political understanding on things that can only ever barely affect me in my mundane, day-to-day civilian life.
@@7ylerD lmfaoo this guy wants you to train like rocky and stop the evil government all on your own

Honestly, the best post I’ve seen on UA-cam in ages. You nailed it. Your observation on the US and then whining in general is spot on. Thanks for your brutal honesty, I’m sure in the comments people are hating on you - but these are just folks that can’t deal with honesty / reality!
Thanks mate, Stay Awesome!
Westerners don't realise just how good they have it.
I think the media is partially to blame. We are told how "bad" we are almost daily. We catch some blame after every mass shooting or racially-motivated act of violence. And, judging by my 20-something grandchildren, too many college and university professors push that narrative. My granddaughter said blame and shame for the USA's "multitude of shortcomings" are crammed down her throat 3 days a week, during a humanities class. She's beginning to believe there is no goodness in America and only sinister motives behind displays of patriotism.
Western countries were created by white people. Western countries keep allowing brown and black people in to their countries. Soon western countries will be 3rd world because of this.
@@jimsmith2844 So, nothing to do with approximately 80-million white drug addicts in the US. Or that out of 43 million welfare recipients in pre-pandemic 2018, 36.2% were white, 25.6% black, and 17.2% Hispanic. (The remaining 15.5 percent did not specify race.)
This comments thread deserves to be cluster bombed.
I do Canadian 🇨🇦
Born and raised in the US... you're damn right they do. It's good and healthy to acknowledge the imperfections of our country, there are many. But, overall, it's a wealthy and prosperous country. We have it quite good.
one mans acknowledge is anothers battle
Right!? All countries have problems. Thats just how the world works. But to act like their problems are the worst and ignore the amazing progress they have made is just shitty.
And yet many people won’t accept the fact that Millions of Americans live comfortable lives
Acknowledging and obsessing are not the same.
Quite good is an understatement! The same goes for myself in England. Think about it this way: We have it better than 95%+ of all people that have ever existed.
As an American who loves America, I thank you for this video. I wish the people that need to hear this will.
I have been abroad for a while and the US news sounds so terrible that I have gotten really discouraged about my country. Thanks for reminding me what’s good about it.
I'm Morrocan .. i've been here for 20 years ... my kids are Americans.. & not even once i felt like an immigrant ... not in the street, not in a many jobs that i have ... not with my American neighbors or friends

erm... how? i moved to the capital city from the countryside in my country and i did feel like an immigrant? 😂
when in your 20 years here...have you ever spared a single breathe to any of the racial hatred and violence white people face? your neighbors or friends?
yeah... your neighbors and friends need to think twice about you.
@@scrimshaw848 Yeah no, fuck off. I hate people who act like "white" people can't face racism or have lives as awful as others, but they said nothing about race, they are just trying to live their life, and that's respectable, they have no obligation to serve a "greater purpose". If you hate racism toward white people, then you should know better than to bring race into the conversation when it's not needed, not welcomed or irrelevant. That being said they were just saying that their experience as an immigrant is good, which is the opposite of the speech you hear when it comes to pro-minorities extreme groups. If you start seeing aggression and disdain everywhere, then you become just as bad as them.
Thank you for the sober perspective. Keep these coming!

kind of like how it could be better too but you don’t seem to be pushing for that huh. our healthcare system is shit take that elsewhere please
I agree that America does a good job with multicultural living. I would say, however, that it is because people agitate (or whine) for their rights and freedoms. We don’t have a complacent population.
I think that's also a good thing, it means progress.
Whining and complaining is good but whoever does it needs to do it with some perspective
I’m American, and you’re completely correct! Thanks for speaking truth to this issue!

@@commonomics Not as insane as Canada trying to make not using preferred pronouns a criminal offense. Or the Netherlands demanding all public announcements (trains, planes, buses, government buildings, etc) use non-gendered language (and yes that got through).

These people are neo-marxists and are destroying western societies
You are absolutley right. I was born and grown up as part of a minority group in Germany. I love this country and I'm glad to born and grown up here in Germany, but Americans are the best when it comes to race equality and multiculturalism.
Germany is pretty good with it too. I mean just go to berlin youll meet more foreigners than germans.
As an American who went to a boarding school with kids from 30 different countries and 30 different states I completely agree with you. I made good friends from Nigeria, Mexico, Angola, Senegal, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine, Morocco, Egypt, the Dominican Republic, Panama, Venezuela, the Caribbean, Turkey, Brazil, China (both mainland and Hong Kong), South Korea, and Japan which was an amazing experience that introduced me to all these different cultures and languages all living together. One thing that was interesting was the fact that a lot of the different ethnicities said things about each other that would be considered extremely racist in the US whether it be jokes between friends of different races or more genuine hatred between groups although that was a lot less common.
Yep. One thing I learned from living abroad. We have so many good things going for us in the USA.... even despite all our crazy problems.
The ones who complain the most usually have the better quality of life.
100%
yes!!!!. haha
my friend in the Philippines is always laughing at me because I complain over such small things all the time lol. its funny. but yes that is absolutely true
Because they complain about it a lot.
It's because those who live in democracies whine, and are also the ones who live better because of their whining
Winston is used to live in authoritarian countries, so it's no wonder he's pissed off about whining
You cant complain in North Korea
Its heart warming to hear a foreigner say something nice about America
All the new people who come here talk about how great it is. It's like a honeymoon mentality that wears off over time then reality starts to set in that most things are not as they seem.
This country is a turd that is dressed up to look pretty. It's the same shit the CCP does, but the USA is better at it.
I live in Brazil and my father got in USA pursuing better life conditions for us and I tell you, even the poorest american have best structure than the middle class brazilian. Once I argued with a guy online about racism and how black people in USA is discriminalized, the dude was inable to face the obvious that even the poorest blacks in america had better quality of life and better things than most brazilians will ever dream about, it's astonishing how detached from reality americans are.
I hope many Americans see this video. I'm an Asian(US Citizen) living in America for over 10 ten years and I can assure you that America is the least racist country in the world.
Are you serious, why do I see so many non asian people beating up asians and recorded on video its like a daily event now?
@@asianboss6355 You don't think that happens in other countries? Lmao.
@@asianboss6355 Most of these people beating up Asians are minorities too. The communist mainstream media and the communist Democrap party don’t want us to know that, because it destroys their narrative. They only report it when it is white on Asian violence.
This is a controversial comment on them being the "least racist" but it's definitely true.
Problem with today's age is everything there is always getting filmed, such as Police brutality, Riots, Protests and Karens, etc, and it puts this idea to ppl outside the US as if it is the most racist country in the world when not really. Imagine if the rest of the world had issues like this getting filmed 24/7 like the US, I assure you it'll make the US look insanely safe in comparison
@doomslayer420 Didn't say there were NOT Racist. What are you even on
I think the Americans that complain the most haven’t been out of the country
On the contrary, those who have been outside know how subpar US is in many respects, and how much better people live elsewhere.
By average work hours alone US workers are more overworked than Japanese ones, while Germans have more than 400 free hours for themselves per year compared to them, without counting numerous other benefits, freedoms and rights.
Winston comes from South Africa and China, and expects US to be compared to them, even though these are absolutely incomparable to US in wealth or GDP PP
I’m an American. Been to 112 countries. Nobody complains more than me.
I agree! I’ve lived in over four different countries and most of the people who complain don’t even have a passport
Indeed. I traveled to Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 and Honduras 🇭🇳. I know there are worse "poors." We have homeless. Yes, but these homeless is 80% self-inflicted, the other 20% is recession/economic related. We have it in Los Angeles in widespread basis, it's because of corruption. We've begun to feel the burnt of this corruption that causes homeless in San Francisco. It's because of political corruption.
As an American, I totally agree. And I’m very proud of being from here. I wish these young kids could see this country through your eyes.
They will when they get older and realize morality and the way of the world is extremely complicated and actions have reactions.
by the time they realize it, it will be too late because they will have destroyed this great country
What are you proud of? I think you confuse the comfy feeling of identifying with a group/culture/nation with pride. How does America make this world better? Whats it contribution? What is your?
Is it that the market is getting flooded with worse and worse products or all warfare, crime and violence, just to keep the industry running?
@@nostalji75 im proud of freedom and civil rights and having opportunities, not being controlled like an animal by the government, you have stockholm syndrome or you're just ret@rded
@@nostalji75 "Is it that the market is getting flooded with worse and worse products" why are you complaining about this? its a free market. just don't buy product you dont like.. the rest of what you say I agree a little bit with.

I'm an American and I agree with you. Thanks for your perspective and for speaking out. We Americans sometimes feed the stereotypes that other nations have of us.
As an American living in Taiwan for the past 5 years, I’ve noticed the same thing. I love Taiwan, but I’m amazed about some unintentional prejudice thing against foreigners here.
I'm American, and I approve this message
This is what I keep telling my friends that complain about America. Although I was born here my parents are from Nigeria. An from hearing their experiences even the times I’ve been there life is so much harder. I tell them they don’t understand how easy we have it here.
yeah like a legal system that sends women to jail for firing off warning shots at their male abusers, god bless america 🙄 you know damn well it could be better here you just don’t wanna admit it because you’ve been eating this patriotism shit up without critical thought lmfao
@@qsm2978 go live in a developing country for a while and see how different it is from America. Now I’m not saying American is perfect but I’d rather live here than Nigeria.
@@CharlesNauck I had the same experience being mocked by black Americans an also white kids for being African even though I was born in America. But I’m not mad about it because they were young an ignorant. But it still hurt being othered by your own people. When adults do it I just don’t associate with them. Cause they are grown an have the ability to learn about other cultures.
Now I’m not saying America is perfect an there are things I wish were different. There are so many programs an opportunities you can get here just to get by in life. You just have to find them. There are still some issues between black Americans an African Americans but over the years I’ve meat so many black Americans that want to get in touch with with their African Heritage and the best I could do is invite them over and teach them about our culture. But the biggest problem that divides BA and AA is the media we consume. BA an even Africans are painted in a bad light so ignorant people tend to have negative opinions about us.
@@CharlesNauck I get were your coming from. When I said my people I was referring to black people. An to give some context this happened in elementary school at a time when you start to realize your skin tone or how your hair is different from other children. So I thought because they look like me we could be friends. An that didn’t happen lol I was probably 6-8 years old.
Also I grew up in the south so with most of my schools I would be the only black kid in the class room. An kids still treated me different when they first meet me because I wasn’t The stereotypical black American also none of them ever knew an African. Also, way too often I would get comments that “I act white “(which is really stupid because you can’t act a race, but this just shows how ignorant people are to other cultures).
Also I’m not the type of person that stays within my personal bubble of comfort. I have so many friends from around the world I talk to on a daily basis. Because I love learning about their culture an finding little similarities we share. An I don’t lump all people together just because of their race because I know we are all different in the way we think, act and live our lives. I love hearing everyone’s opinions even if it doesn’t match mine because it helps me to understand why people think the way they do. So I hope that gives a better explanation of why I originally said my people.
Been in US since 2002, have gone through my own moments of anger, but in the end, it was always my fault and something that I didn’t do that caused issues when I was younger... I wouldn’t live anywhere else. Currently in Southern California and it often feels like a dream.
Winston, as a very americanized taiwanese person. I agree with you. Sadly I'm guilty of it as well. The problem with Americans that complain how bad it is here, have never lived in another country or dealt with severe discrimination. In Taiwan as a child I lived in the country, no shoes, electricity, running water, etc. We were country folks when I went to taipei for school they looked at us like monsters. I aome here for almost 35 years now, it's awesome here still, and I can't think of any other country I'd rather be in. I've found warmth from people that I didn't think I would, friends of all races took me in. It's great here. But you are correct, Americans are whiny, and many entitled AF. Keep up the great work!!
Quite.
It's a combination of our Isolationist tendencies and our self-centered anti-intellectualism.
But great to have you. It's people like yourself that makes us great.
Wish people born here were half of what you seem to be. 👌👍
@@Lobsterwithinternet thank you, I only lived in Taiwan for a few years and a kid. We were piss poor but happy. Watching Winston and Matt's podcasts really brings attention to how good Taiwan is. I hope to go back soon. Coming to america it's like paradise, people have no idea.

As an American, I was sent overseas by the US Army. I went to PI, Thailand, S. Korea and several places in Central America. What it taught me is how amazing the USA is. We're not a perfect nation but we try awfully damn hard and we don't hide our faults in propaganda. IMO the people who wish to tear down this great nation are doing so because they have a lack of appreciation, history and prospective.
Absolutely Agree
Who is trying to tear America down, from your perspective?
@@_jmeg_3436 ; Fair question and to be honest, given my comment was seven months ago, I wouldn't use the term "tear down" today. What I'd say is any person that lacks the perspective to understand the amazing nation we have is sadly mislead. America has elected and appointed more minorities (ethnic, gender) to positions of power than any nation on this earth. Our laws and human rights protections are well settled via the court. I imagine my point was (and is) that we as Americans ought to have a bit more respect for how much progress our nation has made and that we truly are a unique and special society that has become a beacon for the world. Its tragic, IMO, that we have a great number of Americans who seem to never take stock in just how good we are, in general but would rather find fault and beat our nation down. Guess my life experience has given me a chance to see other nations and that's given me a deeper appreciation. I've challenged my kids to read Alexis de Tocqueville’s "Democracy in America" to gain an understand of our need for a basic social contract with one another. In truth Tocqueville was almost prophetic in warning against the desires of people when he wrote; "...most especially in the present democratic times, that the true friends of the liberty and the greatness of man ought constantly to be on the alert to prevent the power of government from lightly sacrificing the private rights of individuals to the general execution of its designs. At such times no citizen is so obscure that it is not very dangerous to allow him to be oppressed; no private rights are so unimportant that they can be surrendered with impunity to the caprices of a government (Democracy in America, Vol. II, Ch. VII). Anyhow, hope that answers your question. Have a great day!
@@willsweat5413 Thank you for the excellent response, Will! I agree with your perspective. We definitely do take a lot of things for granted here. What you said makes sense. Thanks for taking the time out and sharing your perspective!
@@willsweat5413 Thanks for the book recommendation. And a great response too
We are too spoiled. We don't have to worry about food shortages, power stability, warlords, or hostile neighbors like many other nations. We have Canada Mexico and two big oceans.
Taiwanese-American here! Really appreciate your perspective here. I partially agree. I agree the bad things considered "worse" in the US is small compared to other countries. But, in comparison to other first world countries, America is falling a bit behind. Prison population and healthcare can be better for a country who claims to be there best. I think being able to vocalize is what makes waves and change. It's the reason why my parents came here. I agree that there's lots of minor topics drowning out the major topics. My biggest complaint most days is how healthcare is crippling here compared to back in Taiwan. I really hope some changes are made so our current and future generations can call an ambulance without crippling debt. I know there are countries out there not even having the caliber of healthcare we have but if the US is the pinnacle, than to your point, let's set that standard!! Thank you again for your perspective! Love your videos!
I like your honesty. But think about the U.S. adding 120 million immigrants since 1980. This is absolutely insane. No comparison to any other developed country.

I’m Filipino and have been here in the US for 20 years. I find their whining funny, considering how much better the standard of living is here. It’s just an aspect of people to complain, I try to count my blessings everytime
I agree pare. Mas mabuti dito. I totally agree. Long live the USA.
Thank you for taking a chance on us and helping build our great nation. ❤️
"To whine about it actually puts an end to it." That reminds me of a quote from the great US history prof and writer Samuel Huntington. "The most rapid change actually occurs during the periods when the populace is complaining that nothing is changing".
THANK YOU for making this video. The “America always has it worse” is so grating to see constantly - especially when you yourself live in a country that is nowhere near America’s level.
I’ve never heard anyone put it into words as well as you did on this video tbh
Glad you live here in America. Love people that appreciate this country for what it is compared to the rest of the world. Appreciate you Winston.
"america whines too much!!" Welcome to Twitter, Facebook, YT, and every major mainstream media. Always a problem even when there isnt one.
Watch Out that rhetoric will trigger and upset an SJW
Yea.. starting to sound like a right wing nut job. 😂
You're one of the most straight up guys on UA-cam. American's do have it good, and long may it last and I hope you have a great time there!
Thank you for this. As an American I agree. It seems like there is an epidemic of victimization syndrome. So many people feel they have it so bad, because we have no perspective. I had the great advantage of traveling all over the world while I was In the Navy. I can attest to the fact that America is one one the best countries in the world. I love it.
This video is so spot on. I'm Canadian and have lived and worked in Japan, South Korea and Thailand for well over a decade altogether, plus traveling to a good number of other countries. In addition to America, following the Canadian media or listening to many Canadians, you would think the country is positively infested with racism. Most of these people have seldom left their bubbles to live abroad and have NO idea what kind of ideas about race and deep-seated insider/outsider thinking exist in much of the world. I love much about all the places I've lived for what they are, and I mean to say nothing negative about the people there, but the fact of the matter is that, alongside the U.S., modern Canada is by far one of the most tolerant, inclusive countries in the world. I think it's just as important to recognize and appreciate that fact while still pointing out, exploring and rightfully condemning true acts of racism when they occur.
I think its because US and Canada deal with their racism and the rest of the world largely doesn't need to. We kind of get it brow beaten out of us, unfortunately it leaves progressively less racist people thinking they are more racist than the rest of the world and vice-versa. It all paradoxically leaves everyone confused. I imagine there is a better course we could chart, certainly. South Korea, at least seems, to do better than most, but they're also the most connected to America. You tell me I've never been there. Japan is very hospitable but only for about a year, which is when you have overstayed your guest status. I do believe Christianity also helps because it spans many demographics (no preferred race, except Judah) and people in general tend to fall into amoral value sets that make it difficult to establish reliable standards. Often Christianity is at its best when under persecution, it can become as privledged as anyone. Everyone is trying to please someone usually whoever bears the greatest influence or power. I.E. the Kardashians or God or something in-between.

A. MEN.
Everyone needs to hear this!! I'm so sick of all the useless racial drama happening around in this country!
I just started your video, and I agree 110% .... as an American. I wish more folks would put this topic out. Americans won't listen to Americans bringing it up a great deal of the time, but hearing it from someone in another country, or from one? Yeah, that hits harder.. And many need a slap in the face.
Every society has problems, but compared to the rest of the world.. we're doing great, even WITH things being insane right now. And on violence.. I feel anyone saying America is more violent than South Africa knows absolutely NOTHING about the topic. Unfortunately, ignorance tends to fuel a great deal of the bitching.. We're shown how violent WE are, but never shown the reality of other places. Just the pretty side of those.
Also, I am PROUD to be an American. We can pull through, and we will. Also, glad you're enjoying having moved here, we're glad to have you and your Family! :D
As an American, I believe you have nailed it Winston.
Oh my god you have literally said everything I've been thinking. all the countries which are actually multicultural are considered the most racist by he woke society.
@@gamingscotsmanOG It's mostly the fact that America is more multi-polar than multicultural.
People identify themselves as their political or ethnic group rather than as a citizen of the US.
@@Lobsterwithinternet Strongly agree with you here. Cultures can co-exist thanks to general acceptance of non-aggression, but faith in authority must be unilateral and it seems to me America has turned upon itself to tear down its leaders. Unmanaged chaos, injustice, inequality (the kind that actually exists), along with many other factors are feeding into the dissolution of the American people, and the nation as a result.
It seems to me that some conspirators in this country are trying to use excessive political correctness to create unfairness and push the centrists to the right side, because the extremity of emphasizing hive mind over racial identity would be racial segregation, which Americans fought for decades to get rid of. We should stay alert of this trend.
@@wisdomleader85 That seems to be the case.
Political partisans of both extremes seem to be using social media as well as partisans in MSM to push their political agendas.
If you're looking for evidence, go look at the spa shooting and how it's being spun so hard into being a huge wave of anti-Asian hate crime when the killer himself and those who know him all said why he did it: he was a deeply mentally disturbed man with sexual dysfunctions who wanted to destroy the things that caused him pain, porn and anything to do with the porn industry.
@@Lobsterwithinternet And now we in England are getting the spill-over from your culture war. Meghan Markle calls us racist and we are left scratching our heads thinking, 'I didn't realise this woman was black?' Whilst back in the States much of the media is siding with her. That quote is perfect: painting centrists as right wing. It's a frightening dynamic.
Damn I didn’t realize you were so Based, I like it

Anyone who says being of European descent alone will be enough to have it easy in the USA in terms of being accepted hasn't looked at any history involving non-Anglo ethnic groups in the country. (Irish, Slavs, Balts, Sicilians etc)
Well comparatively easy. At least they weren't slaved nor segregated.
@@IsomerSoma Depends. Before they joined Anglos in the suburbs, those aforementioned ethnic groups weren't regarded as the equals of the Anglo. (Ref: Madison Grant)
@@IsomerSoma, ah, yes, weren't enslaved. Slavs had "krepostnichestvo" near as long as entire American existence and it was a full on enslavement of poor people by rich with complete control over their lives. What about Mongol-Tatar yoke when Russia was under complete and violent control of the Golden Horde for more than 250 years? Learn the history, then make statements on it.
@@rinrin4711 Learn contextual reading. I was obviously talking about not enslaved nor segregated within the US.

As an American with Cuban heritage, I want to thank you for this video. Please know that the Americans making these comments are a small minority with loud internet voices. Most of us acknowledge what you're saying.
Yes. We immigrants are being the true Americans. It’s okay we will rescue this country.
I LOVE THAT YOU SAY WE ARE THE LEAST RACIST. MY WIFE IS FROM JAPAN AND SAYS THE SAME THING. WE JUST SPEND MORE TIME TALKING ABOUT RACE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY
Exactly, it's only easier to call us the most racist because WE ACTUALLY HAVE CONVERSATION AND DIALOGUE ABOUT IT.
@@MastaGambit I mean, a lot of that dialogue is pretty racist
well said.
@@MastaGambit I would argue that the US is pretty damn racist. Not if you discount anti white racism though.
@@viktoriyaserebryakov2755 100% right. The American far left tries to paint the U.S. as if it is still in the Jim Crow era, when really the racism (as is defined in dictionaries) is perpetrated by the far left through things such as Critical Race Theory and the false idea of White Privilege.
As a born and raised 35 year old American I can completely agree with EVERY SINGLE word you said! A lot of Americans have this “Well what about ME!?” Or “What about US!?” mentality for any kind of situation you could think of! It’s completely embarrassing! I love your honesty, your so aware and do not sugar coat the obvious facts. Great video can’t wait for future content.

@@noongourfain I truly am sorry for any hard times you have been or are going through. I think as a society we should take better care of our elders and older loved ones, I do not want to see ANYONE of any age go without things they need. I understand that a lot of our nations elders have to choose between medication, food or paying bills but, please understand that my comment or feeling of US citizens whining have nothing to do with these situations at all. I hope really hope you get better days.
@@jasonw598 Yes I understand. I'm sorry if I sounded harsh. I am a middle age only child taking care of my adult and single parents...so of course I can't do it alone. I had to lawyer up. The sheer amount of paperwork at the end of life when one is the least able is awful.
If it were not for me at least one of my parents would have been in a nursing home already....and we all know what happened there in the past year in New York State. Well, if you don't know already our Govenor Cuomo sent people infected with covid into the nursing homes and it killed a lot of elderly people....who were also denied the presence of their families in their final days. But hey why should we complain about that? Cuomo is a criminal bastard and he blew it. And Winston is kicking us when we are down, after this awful year, when so many mistakes were made, we SHOULD be complaining.....or it will just happen again...in the next pandemic. It was all totally mishandled. So many people died who didn't have to. More people died in America than any other country. Remember in the begining when they told us "masks don't work" WTF!!! and Winston is calling us winers??!! Our government let us down!
I guess Winston would have us STFU and not fix our system... Winston...get a grip.
"your so aware and do not sugar coat the obvious facts" Yes, he does sugar coat the facts. The US ranks pretty poorly compared to many countries according to many different measures. A few of them being crime, secondary education, and taxes. I have visited and/or lived in 4 different countries and the US is easily the most dangerous country I've ever lived in.
To put it another way, I lived in South Korea for 9 years. I was born in the US and lived there until I was 35. I miss South Korea. I don't miss the US
@@elzoog go back then, try living in africa or a majority of other multicultural countries okay?
You are correct. Right now we the USA are at the safest, Richest time in the world. The average American think it was better 30 years ago.
I find it infuriating when Americans constantly put the U.S. down. As an American that has had relatives old and young defend this country. It genuinely hurts my heart when I think about all the young men, black white hispanic Asian, that fought and died on foreign soil at 19-20 years old, scared and a million miles from home, so we can remain free. All the young men that fought in WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan and were so PROUD TO BE AMERICAN regardless of race and gladly defended our country. Ive seen outside America, not as much as I would like, but the standard of living in America is very very high. These people that whine and moan about America should go and see how it is everywhere else. Also, just a little side note.. I dont know what it is in our food that just puts weight on your body. Ive heard this from multiple Americans that went to another country for a significant amount of time and said they ate like pigs and actually lost weight only to come back to America and put a ton of weight back on immediately. I often wonder if this has to do with all the hormones and preservatives in the food.
Love America. My dad told me when I was a child that I was blessed to have be born in this place and time and that I needed to always be thankful. I will teach my children the same. We may not be perfect, but we live in amazing luxury and peace as compared to other countries and time periods. 🇺🇲

Do it now! I'm a woman who traveled solo across the US at age 60 - spent five months on the road visiting friends and family and camping in national and state parks and forests. Best thing I ever did!
working with Americans in Taiwan as teachers is worst. They always know better and do the absolute minimal of what needs to be done. Ask to show up for a function the Americans would fist ask.. how much are they getting paid. 26 years in Taiwan and I am yet to meet an easy going, hard working American.
Everyone needs to see this video. I love America! This is a magnificent country founded on the highest of ideals which we are still trying to fulfill. We may not be perfect but we're darn well trying to be better each day.

Honestly, I really wish I could improve on this as a Canadian. My wife was raised in the Philippines and is baffled by my attitude towards my country given how great it is in its own respect.
I disagree, I don't agree that you should compare Canada to a country like the Philippines that is known for its corruption, and where injustices are the norm. Canada is an OECD country. We should compare Canada to other countries with high standards in education, health, worker's rights etc. We should educate immigrants about all their rights when they move to Canada, and similar countries, because unfortunately, some companies abuse incoming immigrants and pay them less, expect them to take fewer vacations and breaks and work longer hours and take on more workload, which they do because it is still a better deal than they were getting in their home country and then this affects the standard of living of the rest of Canadians. We should set ourselves to higher standards. Obviously if you complain your whole life you will be miserable, and you should practice gratitude, but if something is not working in your country you should be an active citizen and try to make a change in any way you can, rather than just complain and do nothing about it. This is just my perspective as another Canadian. I feel like the lower we set our standards, the more companies and governments abuse the people and start taking away services and our rights, until we're "grateful" we have a loaf of bread to eat.
You have good reason to doubt Canada lately . Canada was great but now we can be jailed for speech and that’s a very slippery slope .
Canada is pretty much a cesspool now. Freedom of speech is nonexistent, no actual culture or sense of cohesion, inane vapid consumerism and a failing economy.
The Phillipines is paradise compared to Canada.
@@MrApocalypseNow1 i wouldn’t go that far , but essentially you are not wrong .
@@MrApocalypseNow1 You are so out of touch and privileged just like Winston was talking about. The Philippines still has people who die of starvation, it has two active insurgencies and most people need to sacrifice their lives working just keep their parents afloat as their children will do for them in turn. It is nice that these issue don't trouble you to but open your eyes to the suffering around you and don't be an ignorant starry eyed foreigner.
As an American…. Thank you.
I always want to tell people who complain about the US to go live in Asia, South America, or Africa and then come back and tell me how bad America is. They truly don’t know how good they have it. I lived in Chile for four years… I know how good we have it here.
There is no bigger eye opener then going to a different part of the world
I've done that (lived in South Korea for 9 years and now living in China). Care to tell me how this was an "eye opening" experience? Because I can tell you honestly that despite it's flaws, I actually miss living in South Korea. I DO NOT miss living in the US.
@@elzoog So IT WAS eye opening. What are you talking about?

As a born and raised American I am 100% aware of the fact that we live in a literal bubble compared to the rest of the world and it annoys me just as much as you the amount of people in America who think they have it the worst it and put down such an amazing first of its kind experiment of a truly free country drives me crazy like fucking learn about history and the what goes on in the world it’s sad
When I studied journalism it was always taught by former foreign correspondent teachers that the same rights with access to data and transparency in the U.S. is almost never found abroad. We have it much better with human rights and freedom than other places. But I find the fear is so deep-seated within this population - we are the most scared 1st world nation.

I call it the Pain Contest. We here in the US grow up on a diet of what is called "perseverance porn," the hardest and worst stories are thrown in our face, slanted to an angle of "they rose above their circumstances, why haven't you? You don't deserve anything you have unless you bleed for it."
Those who admit the lack of adversity in their lives are seen as somehow lesser than or unworthy of attention. It's really weird. It even leaks into normal conversation. If one person admits they've been having a bit of a hard time, it immediately becomes a competition as to who has it the worst.

while id agree that younger folks in particular seem to be fraught with mental health diagnoses and aren't afraid to tell people, its mostly just younger peoole and when you encounter someone who tries to one up your each and every story with one of their own, you tend to remember that person and instance precisely because of its _rarity_
@@mackhomie6 there are just as many with mental health issues in your age group, guaranteed. Just because they're undiagnosed doesn't mean they don't exist.
As an American who studies history religiously, and served a 2 year humanitarian mission in the Texan oil fields, I am so glad to hear you say this. People here have it so good that they have completely forgotten that the US is an anomaly. We obviously aren't perfect, but if you were to compare our problems to the problems around the world, the difference is hard to vocalize. It tears my soul apart, knowing that our nation is going to destroy itself over almost nothing. Bad things still happen in good places.
thank you so much for all of your contributions. ive been watching every single video you have put out, and im absolutely fascinated with your experiences.
As an American who has, from time to time, complained about the state of everything here, what you were saying in the beginning,... wow...Americans can be out of touch/ ignorant, it is utterly bewildering to me. To think that any of those issues you brought, that there are Americans saying that it's much worse here, is absolutely insane.. yeah, the country is certainly not perfect, we're in constant political turmoil, we're more divided than ever, but it sure as hell could be a HELL of a lot worse.. poverty / domestic abuse worst, here? REALLY?? Americans really seem to think that were the center of the universe / everything revolves around us... And many of our problems are a lot worse /common than they are.
Winston, you are spot on. I lived in Taiwan for 16 years and recently returned to America. My wife is from the Philippines and has had no problems immersing in the culture here. She is horrified by the amount of attention given to race relations. On the other hand, we miss Taiwan so much. A great people with a wonderful culture.

I'd pretty much prefer the U.S should cut military spending and remove military bases.
This whining I have had to deal with that whining from my parents and my siblings. This I fondly call the art of innuendo communication. It doesn’t do you any good to complain until somebody gets fed up and cures that persons objective of focus to complain about. Thanks for pointing this syndrome out. 😢
First off, thank you for your candid thoughts and helpful insight into life “abroad” (from an American’s POV).
Being an American and primarily interacting with Americans I find that my brethren place Americans and American issues at the top.
Better put, if we view ourselves/country as great, we’re the “greatest” - if bad, we’re the worst. An odd dichotomy, if it can be called that.
As most likely stated by others in this comment section few American know anything about the plight of other humans on this planet, since most never learn, nor never care about anything outside our boarders (for we are ever so insulted and ignorant of the greater world).
I love my country and all its faults because we try [collectively via government and culture] to be better (a strange burden, nay responsibility) than any other nation - to be better than our past, to be a beacon of hope.
But when so many live in a bubble (insular Americana) they can only see the petty issues in front of them.
Obviously the issue is oh, so complex, but a lack of understanding about the way the world can really be, and is, for so many is the root of the problem (IMHO).
Thanks again for sharing your insights and personal wisdom.
Safe safe and “stay awesome”.

You're right about the whining and it is getting worse. I'm 61 years old and I can honestly and openly blame much of this on SOME people in my generation. Too many baby boomers simply failed to allow their children to experience adversity, appreciate their immense privilege or accept responsibility for their actions. There ARE, however exceptions. I am a veteran and my peers are true patriots who appreciate every joy in life because we have seen the world. Stay awesome!

I like living here in America. I have also lived in China. I agree with you that America is held to a very high standard and that's why a lot of small issues are blown out of proportion. I do acknowledge that racism exists, it exists everywhere...but I wouldn't really want to live anywhere else and there is a lot of opportunity. I think a lot of Americans romanticize other countries because they haven't really traveled abroad. I think it's an interesting balance to respect all cultures and countries but to also acknowledge the realities of different countries and different governments
Thank you so much for your perspective, it's very easy to get stuck in a kind of a cultural bubble here in America and not see how it really is in the rest of the world.

My husband & I( I am Malaysian Chinese and my husband is Native from Borneo) are from Malaysia and we have been here since 2001, never once we were treated like we are different from Americans or treated unfairly, my kids are Americans and they never face Racism.

After 4 years in Korea....YES. Everything in this is true. I left the US hating so much about my country, and I'm returning this year so thankful for it. Not that it doesn't have problems. So often, though, we forget that our problems exist--but they aren't unique. (Minus gun laws lol)
health care is a huge problem in the US for me, which makes me reconsider moving.
@@nineten9011 Move ! .. you have that freedom or right to move. But you may find the Hassel of moving, getting set up and established in a different country and getting health care there is far more expensive than getting Obama-care in the USA or another pvt. health care, or finding a company that you can work for that, at least provides partial health care. If your health care expenses are Big because of diabetes or other concerns, I really don't see you getting better HC in another country. But if so, then move.
@@steveh4114 the country I am in right now offers free universal health care even surgeries are fully paid for.
The only thing I pay for is the receptionist in hospital around 3-4$
What was so bad about Korea? I am from the UK and live in Korea and I don’t want to go back to Britain!
Well, I've been in Switzerland a few years now, coming from California... I don't think I could say the same unfortunately haha. Except for the food and weather.

Only like 40% of Americans have passports. Most Americans have never left America and have little understanding of how the rest of the world lives. Thus, most Americans have nothing to compare America to
I think it's because some Americans are tired of hearing that America is the greatest country but they flip it to make it sound like the worse.
