Welcome back 💩 Today I’m reacting to a requested video about how Aussies feel about America/Americans. I do kinda talk a lot so I give a lot of opinions as usual. Lol 🤷🏻♀️ Hope you enjoy it! DISCORD: discord.gg/MtsPQmZn WISHLIST: throne.com/toniaelkins
America is like Australia's big cousin. I think North Australia is more American-friendly because of our commitment to each other as allies. We both have shared histories with Britain, same as New Zealand and Canada. I was born in Darwin, NT and it was attacked by the Japanese during world war 2 and we had American ships in the harbour that were sunk and many young Americans fought and died in my hometown. One of the last American survivors of the Darwin Bombings, had his ashes spread in my hometown harbour on the site where his ship went down. That was the ship called the USS Peary. Look it up and be proud. It fought to the last. We remember them every year on ANZAC day. America saved Australia during the war and North Australians are mindful and grateful for that. Brothers in arms and cousins in history.
IT is truly refreshing to watch good content alot of it pertains to what's around them but you reach out to find out what the truth is thank you ,from all our love from Australia.❤❤🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
I immigrated to America when I first married my Texan husband (We have been back in Australia since 1980!) He was in the Navy and still out at sea and I got to know his family. My brother-in-law rang home and asked what i was doing. He was told 'baking a cake ', so he said 'I know- an upside down cake!'😂
@@heatherwickstead7980 Oh yes! I bet their Mexican food is amazing down there! We have really good restaurants here too, some authentic Mexican and some is more the “Americanized Mexican food” My daughters boyfriend is Mexican so they eat a lot of the authentic stuff cuz him and his mom are teaching her 😊 But I’m glad to hear you had a great experience. I kinda feel like Aussies would fit right in with Texans lol. 💜
I went to the US in 1987 for six weeks. It still strikes today how palpable the aggression was. There were some nice people but in general...it often felt like a scene from sopranos
The fact that so many Americans are trying to make ends meet by starting reaction channels tells you everything you need to know. Overseas viewers are curious to watch the modern day "fall of Rome" on all platforms
@@Nimways_sword I actually started my channel in 2019 and I’m a vlogger but I do reactions as well. I would actually prefer if more people watched my vlogs instead because I work harder on those.
Australian cities are very multi-cultural now too, anyway the americans I've met have all been nice and chill I think we are pretty similar. For what it's worth there are areas/suburbs in all australian cities you wouldn't walk around alone at night unless your car broke down.
I think these South Aussie’s are being very polite. I get the feeling if this was in another city, the comments might have been a little more…. Blunt 🤷🏻♀️
@@VaughanKoch-yb9wd I highly recommend Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains. It’s my favorite place I’ve been in the USA. You can choose to stay in a cabin up in the mountains or a hotel in town. I’ve done both. The cabin was my favorite. 😍 I have 2 vlogs of us there. And I also have a video from about 3 months ago discussing underrated American destinations people should visit. I plan on making more.
America is great.. ive been there a few times. People are friendly but easy to stereotype becuase they usually.dont know much about what's happening outside of America. That's why I love American reaction channels because it shows that Americans are interested in looking beyond their culture and breaking this stereotype being insular.
Yeah I personally don’t travel much so watching these videos is so fun for me & educational. I love it! In terms of Americans not knowing much about other countries, it’s mostly because we have so much history about our own country to learn. I think a lot of people just think America doesn’t have much history but we actually have tons 😂
@ToniaElkins America definitely has a lot of modern history and is a world leader so its understandable to self absorbed. It's what Americans are taught at school. In Australia we grew up watching America like she was a big sister.. doing all the things that looked fun, dressing up, going out.. now we are grown up it seems that America is in a bad marriage with itself and suffering from substance abuse (politics, media) and we can learned from America what not to do but America won't learn from us because it never thought we had anything to offer as the little sister. We still love you.
@@shanegates678 Yeah that’s why I enjoy history more now as an adult. Cuz I can look up anything I want now and educate myself. Watching these videos I’ve learned so much already. Plus the Aussies and kiwis in my discord have also taught me a lot 😊
I would never have guessed that you are expecting a grand-baby!! My goodness! You look about 10 years younger than me (this isn't meant to be insulting, more complimentary!). Congratulations for your incoming bundle of joy!!
@@ErinFromSydney Lol thank you! I don’t feel insulted at all. I appreciate that 🥰 I AM a young grandma and would’ve liked to be older haha but I’m so excited! By the way I’m 43. I posted a new video today of me and my daughter if you’re interested 😊
@@ToniaElkins I'm 44 and a good many of the people I went to school with are also grandmothers, some for a number of years, so it's not that unusual. I was also one of the older ones in my year so, yeah. I will definitely have to find that video :)
As a roads & highways nerd one thing I like about America are the Interstate Highways, wish we had a little slice of that down here. Our freeways are good, mind you, but we don't have many of them. Won't expect much agreement with my fellow Aussies commenters haha...
Im south Australian. I've never been to America, but generally I have a positive view of them. I like the first and second amendment. I like their freedom loving spirit. I like their cars, guns,music.
The interviewer is in the Adelaide beachside suburb of Glenelg, (spelled the same way backwards). This city is where I live. As cities go, it's on the smaller side. Which is fine by me. I do enjoy the occasional visit to Melbourne, to see my brother and his family. But I wouldn't live there. My other two favourite cities are Cairns and Perth, both a long way from Adelaide. I'm sure there will be other Aussies watching your vlog who can recommend videos showcasing these three cities. And yes, I have been to the USA. I lived there for 10 years. It fascinated me, a country of great contrasts and contradictions. Incredible scenery, great people and a mixture of cuisines, (wait, that sounds like Australia too).
I, too, love the American accent, but I can't do one. I would love to go visit one day, but the plane trip would be too much, I think. If it was less than 5 hours away, I'd be ok with that. Yes, please, please come down under one day? Come to Melbourne, I'll show you around.
@ToniaElkins long and boring, but generally, the planes leave in the afternoon or night, and when you get to the other end, it's the morning. I think it's 16 hours of flight time from LA, plus however long the flight is from your house to LA. Unless you want to drive it? In total, it'll probably feel like 16 years rather than hours. Lol.
I went to the USA and drove a car half way of country across the country and I have to say I enjoyed it and had no problem driving on the right except when I was in the only car on the street. Also What shock me when I came to round about.
Love your perspective as it's genuine. This reaction is to a video that shows a very 'White' Australia. The Blackfellas (indigenous First Peoples Nations) seem better represented here than the US... by no means a good history with English colonization. For me personally I feel grateful for all that have come to our shores and shared their culture. In Melbourne there are over 280 different languages spoken and an equal amount of food cultures!!
That woman against the border wall is nice but very naive to think you should just have unfettered access merely because we’re human. You made the right point that controls are a necessity at international borders and if a wall is required for those ends so be it. The American accent attempts were the best part. A Canadian here in Australia once said to me that Californians were the most switched on in the US.
I've travelled a fair bit to the US and have visited 20 US states and married a girl from Ohio, Huge differences with the people from State to state. I will admit the largest people I've ever seen are Americans but there are big people everywhere. Yes, the serving sizes in restaurants are larger than I'm used to but as you say you don't have to eat it all. The homeless thing is huge in some cities, we have it to but not as bad I guess because there are so many more people there. I won't go on about Trump but he wouldn't be permitted to run in my country or probably any other due to his felony record. The US may be the exception on that. People are generally friendly I've only had a hard time with some Gang in Seattle but they left me alone when they realized I wasn't local.
Never been. Looks like a country with natural beauty and wonderful National Parks. Not so sure how I feel about the people though. Ultra driven and not in a good way or they are ignorant about the rest of the world. A lot seem to believe everything was invented there and some are not aware that history existed long before they were discovered and settled. Not sure I can overlook the people to bother visiting
Please don’t let the people you see on RUclips or Tik Tok etc form your opinion of us. Most Americans are normal friendly genuine people. If you go to LA, New York or Florida, yeah you might see some weirdos. But the rest of us are normal lol. As for ignorance, I would say everyone is ignorant to things they haven’t learned. And it’s not their fault or doesn’t make them dumb. But we don’t get to choose what to learn in history class. A lot of people go on to experience & learn other things on their own and some don’t.
@ToniaElkins Hi, America is a long way away (we usually get that comment living down here). The US and in particular the cultural scene of NY was on my bucket list. Two people I know,. one male went to San Fran on business and did not feel safe and another San Fran also, visited with her middle aged mother. They immediately cancelled the rest of their US itinerary and flew to Canada. It is a lot of money to waste to not enjoy the experience. I usually make up my own mind on anything but a bit nervous. I am definitely a very open minded person, have lived amongst weirdos before and I enjoy the people watching. My opinion is just mine. I know, good and bad everywhere.
@ Yeah any major city is going to be crazy. But there’s much more to the USA than California or New York. I did a video and I’m planning on doing more of these but I discuss underrated American destinations. If you’re interested. 😊 ruclips.net/video/i5iUtdqGvIg/видео.htmlsi=HpRAR3xPu4D2meDo
Hubby and did a road trip across the United States in 2019.. 3 months on the road and I think we did about 40 states.... we found most people friendly and welcoming and just wanted to talk to us... just to listen to our accents.... ( even the 5 days I had in hospital in Florida random doctors and nurse would come in for a chat) ...and to be honest I only felt uncomfortable in Los Angles and New York.... enjoyed it so much we are going back next year for our 3rd visit....
@@teresastoakes5140 Oh wow!! You must love to travel, that’s amazing! You’ve been to more states than me 😆 I 💯believe you on the California and New York thing. Lol. Have fun on your next visit! That’s so exciting 😁
Australians are imbued with American culture. There's a hell of a lot of it because the States dominate the English speaking world. Simple really. Australians are generally well travelled and because of the cultural mix look outwards. I realised this when I went to England to live and work for the first time. I was surprised how relatively insular the English were compared to Australians. I've spent a lot of time with Americans over the years but they were really well travelled themselves. If pressed I'd say the impression I've always had is that Americans don't need to look outwards and don't know much of the world as a rule.
As far as obese people , Australia is , unfortunately, just behind the US . I dont think its fair to get people to comment when they havnt been there .
How's this for stereotypical? 😁 What do you like about America? 'They got the bomb!' What don't you like about America? 'Damn they ain't used it yet!' 😂🤪
@@shanekopacka2945 First of all its not thousands, you’re incredibly misinformed. Second of all, why the fuck would you bring that up in my comments? As if I can control that or have anything to do with it. Where I live there has ALSO been ZERO school shootings. So If you think you’re better than us for that, you need help and you need educated. Dumb ass C. You’re in here bringing up tragedies of DEAD children. Grow the FUCK up! 🖕
The Americans I’ve met seem to know little about the world outside America. They do ask and are generally shocked to learn about other countries. You all seem to have been fed a lot of false political propaganda.
We've had a narrow, left-wing, egocentric media and school system. for a long time. They don't share important, global information. Many of us see a lot of global information from your Sky News.
Its very simple you need to know who is coming into your home is your safety and that of your family going to be compromised, so you must be vetted and approved . You just don't let anyone walk in and take your house.
@@DavidPola1961 Yes I’m like you, I don’t even invite friends over 😆 I’m very much a, let’s go to your house or a restaurant, kinda person. But we definitely are warm & friendly genuinely.
Been fortunate to have lived & travelled extensively all around the world but never made it to the Americas. Have worked a lot in tourism & have met 10's of 1000's of Americans. Its been my experience to find that they generally fall into 1 of 2 camps. 1st there are the open minded, adventurous, intelligent ones. They are an absolute delight to meet, chat with & show around. Then there the arrogant "good ole boy God bless America" type. These last ones are an absolute pain in the ass. Sad thing is its these pricks you tend to remember. When I was much younger I would love to have travelled to the US, now... not so much. Its a bit like being in an abusive relationship. At 1st its all lovey dovey & sweet then you realise you've been conned & lied to the entire time. With all the showy glitz & glammer thrilling you at 1st until its stripped away revealing an ugly underbelly that you didnt see or ignored. There's old saying that says "when America sneezes we all catch a cold". Still a good country but not one I'd care to visit or live in
@@robertclothier3597 Trust me, you can’t trust what the media puts out there. There are rough areas sure, but most of America is totally safe, especially for tourists if you’re staying in groups in public. We don’t walk around scared everyday lol. Theres more to America and then California New York and Florida. The rest of us are NORMAL! 😆 Check out the Midwest our southeast, you’ll see what true America is.
@ToniaElkins yeah guess you're right. I live in elatively remote rural Qld, the city slickers or tourists would call this the outback, when in reality it's the "bush" lol. This is the real fair dinkum Australia. All Aussies that I know who've been to the US have really enjoyed it. Before Croc Dundee came out Aussies would go to America & be asked where in the UK they were from. For a few years after the movie's release, Poms would go to the US & be asked where in Australia they were from 😂
Stupid Have finally started voting with their head not heart But still stupid Imagine where they could be if Trump said,it can’t do it in one term Then doesn’t do anything in two anycase
@ filmed in 2000, this video is not 24 years old and RUclips did not exist. That one young lady said America is great because of trump, maybe she was being sarcastic. I worry if young people think is is great lol

We've had a narrow, left-wing, egocentric media and school system. for a long time. They don't share important, global information. Many of us see a lot of global information from your Sky News.
The young ones are Australian,the older ones are not, the accents are English and New Zealand
Hmm and how much does it cost to go to hospital in America? Personally I wish our country had nothing to do with America.
That’s rude. I hope you grow up some day. 👍
PS: If you want nothing to do with America then why would you click on an Americans video? 🤔
@ cause you are all just so darn entertaining. And thanks for your advice, I’ll keep that in mind.
TE! Mention to Sky that he might want to be a little quieter when he drinks during your intro.
@@marklane58 Lol!!
Its very simple you need to know who is coming into your home is your safety and that of your family going to be compromised, so you must be vetted and approved . You just don't let anyone walk in and take your house.
@@DavidPola1961 Yes I’m like you, I don’t even invite friends over 😆 I’m very much a, let’s go to your house or a restaurant, kinda person. But we definitely are warm & friendly genuinely.
Been fortunate to have lived & travelled extensively all around the world but never made it to the Americas. Have worked a lot in tourism & have met 10's of 1000's of Americans. Its been my experience to find that they generally fall into 1 of 2 camps. 1st there are the open minded, adventurous, intelligent ones. They are an absolute delight to meet, chat with & show around. Then there the arrogant "good ole boy God bless America" type. These last ones are an absolute pain in the ass. Sad thing is its these pricks you tend to remember. When I was much younger I would love to have travelled to the US, now... not so much. Its a bit like being in an abusive relationship. At 1st its all lovey dovey & sweet then you realise you've been conned & lied to the entire time. With all the showy glitz & glammer thrilling you at 1st until its stripped away revealing an ugly underbelly that you didnt see or ignored. There's old saying that says "when America sneezes we all catch a cold". Still a good country but not one I'd care to visit or live in
@@robertclothier3597 Trust me, you can’t trust what the media puts out there. There are rough areas sure, but most of America is totally safe, especially for tourists if you’re staying in groups in public. We don’t walk around scared everyday lol. Theres more to America and then California New York and Florida. The rest of us are NORMAL! 😆 Check out the Midwest our southeast, you’ll see what true America is.
@ToniaElkins yeah guess you're right. I live in elatively remote rural Qld, the city slickers or tourists would call this the outback, when in reality it's the "bush" lol. This is the real fair dinkum Australia. All Aussies that I know who've been to the US have really enjoyed it. Before Croc Dundee came out Aussies would go to America & be asked where in the UK they were from. For a few years after the movie's release, Poms would go to the US & be asked where in Australia they were from 😂
Stupid
Have finally started voting with their head not heart
But still stupid
Imagine where they could be if Trump said,it can’t do it in one term
Then doesn’t do anything in two anycase
These young people have no idea about trump
Filmed in 2000 when Trump was an unknown entity.
@ filmed in 2000, this video is not 24 years old and RUclips did not exist. That one young lady said America is great because of trump, maybe she was being sarcastic. I worry if young people think is is great lol
