Telling Americans from Europeans Proves Hilarious – Twitchy

Sometimes, a thread is so unintentionally hilarious, it deserves to be highlighted. Today, journalist Wesley Yang asked if people can tell Americans apart from Europeans just by looking. The replies were a hoot!

Can you differentiate white Americans from Europeans just by looking at them?

Absolutely. https://t.co/pe3w1vFjex

In New York I mostly can, although sometimes it’s hard to tell if they’re European or gay. https://t.co/RfmHqJulHA

Yes the American ones look less poor and more free. https://t.co/Uhsn2G82En

Also, Americans have better teeth. 

White Americans have a bit more roundedness to them even with low body percentages. Also their white skin is a bit ‘deeper’ in tone than a Euro White.

Euros are SUPER white. White as snow. More chiseled jawlines on average. They look more like what American WWII solider poster… https://t.co/qZ9ATq3Pq0

Depends. I can’t really with Germans. But with Eastern Europeans, I usually can. Ethnic Europeans have very distinctive looks and American whites have blended ethnic groups that they can’t be traced to a specific country by just appearance. https://t.co/ggC0eHuQvL

Sad, but true!

They are always the nicest ones. 

Do they do slides with socks in Europe? Because that. https://t.co/Sb92YY01T0

That’s uniquely American.

I don’t even need to see europeans. You can smell them. https://t.co/hChS4RPnrq

Go to Disney World and this will be verified. 

Aside from clothing and haircuts, Europeans tend to look like their specific ethnicity/nationality. They don’t just look white, they look Russian, English, French, German etc. American whites are more mixed so they’re less obviously from any particular stock.

Mostly, yes. Accuracy increases further when they show their teeth.

Americans with enough money to travel Europe have dental work that’s more flawless/artifical than what we do here (not about price differences, just talking about Europeans aiming for more natural/believable…

American teeth are way different.

‘Merica! 

A student from Europe once told me that Europeans and Americans carry themselves differently. The Euro posture is more closed, arms close to body. Americans are more gangly.

Apparently, Americans are also louder. Let freedom ring!

Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
