5 Americans vs 2 Secret British! (Can They Guess REAL British?) 

Hahahaha i noticed that too

timestamp?

@@Tricke432_YT 1:37

I mean...

Was pretty easy they were the 2 without blindfolds.

@@fasteddie406 I know , but I did not use that blindfold criterion to find out which one is British , because his accent is very different , then he said that his parents were from Poland

🥰🥰❤❤

¡Totalmente cierto!

As someone from the UK, I knew straight away. Interesting that other people found him hard hahaha

We do. Should have asked them to describe an Eggplant.

I’m British and let’s be honest, he’s not. Not saying he doesn’t have dual nationality or holds a passport or whatever, nor am I saying he’s not technically British or doesn’t have right to be called British. But you’re not going to pick him out as a British person because he looks polish and has a polish accent and sounds like he speaks polish at home. I personally see him as a polish person raised in the U.K. rather than a British person.

Yeah, honestly, he just sounds sooo polish, especially when trying to do the American accent. When I first heard him I immediately was like, huh??? a pole??? He doesn't sound like a born and raised British person, polish has got to be his first language.

Yeah who ever created this video was totally off. Getting someone British Polish 1st generation would be as confusing as a 1st generation Chinese American. They would still have a strong accent from their nationality which would skew the experiment.

If he was born in the UK, he's the second gen. If he moved when he was a baby, he's 1.5 gen. If he moved when he's grown, he's 1st gen. At least that's how it counts in America.

@@natedang5025 His accent does not sound ‘native’. That’s why I’m saying he is NOT second generation.

The Polish community is the largest European community in the UK, and the second largest European community in the UK would be Romanian. Edit: I stand corrected, according to the more recent 2021 data, these are the top 5 largest European communities: Polish, Irish, German, Romanian, Italian.

@@alexandra9944 Romanians aren't even that common here.. the second largest is the Indian/Pakistani community Sorry my bad lad, don't know how I didn't read "European community"

@@Fatherland927 I said EUROPEAN communities. Polish is the first, Romanian the second.

@@alexandra9944 no they ain't. I live in England.. when I'm driving through town I'm seeing a lot of Indians. The Indians and Polish are the largest. Romanians are just among the many economic migrants here

@@Fatherland927 MATE I SAID EUROPEAN! Indians and Pakistani are not European!!! Yes, Indians/Pakistani are the largest foreign community in the UK, but I was referring to communities/migrants from the European continent only. Got it? I also live in England.

Nascar 😂

Ass car was too funny 😂

I feel like there's always a lot of mistakes in the subtitles, which makes me think their subtitler(s) are Korean or at least aren't native English speaker(s)

@@jesse7680 - I think they should stop inserting those subtitles, they're just making themselves look bad video after video.

@@module79l28 I think it’s just typical for Korean videos. I see it a lot. Might also be meant for Koreans to read English, but it’s not helping much to get slang or random words wrong

They really need to get a native speaker to look over the subtitles before they post. Literally any fluent speaker (like any of the guests in this video) would be able to spot these mistakes.

No they have always been terrible

They aren't written by someone fluent in English...

@@StellaGoetia666 Yes we know, but there are plenty of fluent English speakers there who could proofread it before posting

@@StellaGoetia666 well, maybe they should be

@@cheeesysandwich yeah

An American was discovered in Germany during WWII because he put up the wrong "3" sign with his fingers. Many Europeans put up the thumb, pointer index finger, and middle finger when referring to the number 3. Americans put up the pointer index finger, middle finger, and the finger before the pinkie, while holding the pinkie with their thumb.

Yup. They teach you that shit in school and you need the area code for almost anything.

How does that give it away?

@@BoraCM americans don’t say the first phrase

@@waterfaerie9 I don’t think British people say the first one, either, with the exception of my mum, but she was born in Turkey.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@waterfaerie9british people dont too

@@BoraCM It's probably not the first sign she's British, but definitely is the first sign she's not American.

not sure ur from england mate i had to go to a&e after attempting to read the end of ur sentence like

Crazy I’ve never seen Polish writings and I live in Chicago. Know a lot of them though.

@@olajong2315 certain areas, immigrant neighborhoods, Kimball station, brown line..

Only 200k Poles in Chicago, nowhere close to Warsaw.

And Curitiba in Brazil is the second largest Polish diaspora.

And don't forget Italy. Italian everything in Chicago.

Any spanish speaker would recognize a spaniard in a breeze, unless is *really* good imitating accents from the Americas.

@@BlackHoleSpain Si se lo curra seguro que no.

@@yebenoso Es complicado. Hay que evitar jerga española (por ejemplo "currar" como sinónimo de "trabajar" es jerga gitana del idioma Caló, aunque ya se ha normalizado en España) que te puede identificar rápidamente. También como hay 22 países en hispanoamérica es más difícil preguntar por cosas de allí para ir a cazar a la persona, porque existen abrumadoras diferencias entre ellos, desde México a Argentina... pero eso mismo podría confundir a los propios americanos que no conozcan modismos o costumbres de otro país. Además los acentos que consideramos "típicos" para imitar como el chilango mexicano o el porteño argentino, son exageraciones alejadas de la realidad.

@@BlackHoleSpain As someone who doesn't speak Spanish fluently, I would be easily fooled. I think these videos are for people who are not fluent in the language.

On the UK?

@@residentzero No, the Pole in this video wasn't born in the UK. He arrived in the country as an older child, teen, maybe even adult.

Yeah they really need someone to proofread the subtitles before the videos get posted.

It's a little tricky. Technically Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor are two different parks even though they are next to each other. Hurricane Harbor is a water park so most people wouldn't think of it as a normal Six Flags park either.

There are still two. Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom.

@@HermanVonPetri Most people I know only call it Magic Mountain not even Six Flags. Maybe because I was living in California before it was purchased and for us the original name stuck.

And New Orleans is in Florida, Orlando must be in Louisiana...

Wait, so you are telling there are many people in the world who don't know where they where born? I mean, I don't wanna sound rude, I get that maybe you don't know if you live in the desert or in a very poor environment, but I thought most people know in which hospital they were born?

@@sophiemoser1752 no, that’s exactly my point haha. They asked her what her hometown was and she was like “I don’t remember, I’m an army brat” Like no girl, everyone knows where they are born lol. But yeah like you said, I feel like most everyone knows where they were born.

but hometown isn't necessarily where you were born

@@--julian_ In America, it typically is, or it's the place you were raised. I live in Indiana, the state, but if anyone asks where my hometown is, it will always be Illinois.

@@GenerationNextNextNext for me I consider hometown the place you were raised. like if someone wa born in say nyc because their parents were working there, but moved before being 2yrs old to Tennessee you wouldn't say that their hometown is nyc, would you?

I don't know - I feel like the temperature one is a fair question. For instance, although I know most Americans keep room temperature between 68 and 74 degrees Fahrenheit, if a British person asked me the same question, I wouldn't immediately know off the top of my head a temperature within that same range to give in Celsius. I might say something like 16 Celsius which would immediately give me away since that's likely too cold to keep a home for most people.

The average American would probably say it feels like 30 degrees in here or Below zero. I don't know anyone, in casual language, that uses Fahrenheit or Celsius to describe temperature (even if that's what they're referring to).

Most have started to be quite discriminated against, please qualify this statement?

@@eddiel7635 The media is confirming this through surveys, a lot of poles have also left the UK over the years, not not most with less than one mill likely still continuing to live here which makes this even more likely to be true. I can only go by what is said but if you look it up you will easily find the info for yourself.

@@AniMewAlex don’t tell me lots of polls, how are they discriminated against? You made the statement with zero proof.

@@eddiel7635 The UK is an extremely racist country, even towards their fellow Europeans. Racism is widely accepted---even encouraged---at all levels of society (including institutions).

@@quinncreel6091 you do realise that statistically it’s one of the least racist countries in the world.

It is obvious for us the audiance, that's why they were not blindfolded. It was just for the other people who were blindfolded. They had to guess not us.

Exactly

I think what they’re trying to say is that a lot of American words have travelled into British everyday speech due to media/films/television programmes etc. So, phrases/words/mannerisms which originated in America are seen in British vocabulary (especially with younger generations).

@@Anna-xj8wz ¿Como, por ejemplo, qué palabras?

@@ivanovichdelfin8797 in the younger generations its common to sometimes say pants instead of trousers and say trash and garbage instead of rubbish for example :)

@@boop-9167 no we never say pants, i'm part of the younger generation in the UK and for us pants means underwear so we never say pants. I've heard trash like once but that's also not ever used because it's so american.

@@cheman579 Yeah, only my siblings and friends who watch a lot of american content will sometimes do that but we instantly take the mick if they do

There is a channel called Liga Romanica. It is four native speakers from France, Spain, Italy and Portugal doing this comparison between there languages.

The audience knew but the American participants didn’t so to me it was interesting to see if they could figure it out. Most of them did.

En Estados Unidos hay tantos acentos variados que ya no son capaces de saber cuáles son suyo y cuáles no.

Try Ecolinguist.

She sounds like a middle class Scouser but a Scouser nonetheless. I presume you’re not from Britain yourself?

She sounds British and very middle class. I personally can’t tell whereabouts but it’s not around London, that’s for sure.

She’s from somewhere in the southwest, can’t remember the name of the place though.

@@davidkasquare I think I remember there being another British girl on this channel who sounds like a West Country farmer/pirate but Lauren in this vid is definitely a Scouser (or very nearly one).

@@fuckdefed Lauren is not in this video, this is Emily. And Emily said in some video that she’s from somewhere in the southwest, like south of Bristol, or something like this.

For me he does.

He sounds Polish British 😅 British mannerisms but obviously has a Polish background.

This is what insecure people do

I have the same feeling. However, for me it was more about the way she said it. Having any kind of foreign accent is not a bad thing at all, it’s really unique ☺️

I mean racism pervades British culture, so a lot of Brits don't even realise how hurtful they are, cuz everyone around them acts the same.

To me it was a couple of things including not knowing the zip code.

@@anndeecosita3586 not going to lie I don’t know my zip code. I know my city warren my county Macomb my state is in my name and my country is USA.

Unlike Jubilee, this is being filmed in South Korea. They probably only have a handful of foreigners to choose from.

I highly doubt he was born in the UK.

New Orleans, Florida?!

What?

@@mustachinhogrosso3535 To describe someone as a British as the World Friends regularly does is insulting to British people. We are British people not a British.

@@nigelhyde279 Why is that insulting? How would be okay, saying Brit sounds better? I am not a Native speaker but a British sounds okay to me ...

@@saralampret9694 Because we find it so. Sorry as a native British person I do, mind you I don’t like Brit much either.

@@nigelhyde279 I do not see how calling somebody "a British" can be insulting, but it is grammatically incorrect.

They never mentioned if they were born in the states or if they naturalized. So I think you're jumping to conclusions. If they did neither, then sure, legally they wouldn't be Americans. You can have foreign parents and be an American though which is what you seem to be arguing about.

@@SomeRandomHobo44 look, there’s a BIG difference between citizenship and nationality! America is not a nation so you cannot have an American nationality! 1. America is a mix of Nations 2. The natives are the original inhabitants there and they do not call this place “America” 3. Even the term America is foreign. It derives from the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci… If you have Polish blood-nationality you are Polish. If you have Swedish blood-nationality you are Swedish. We talk about roots, blood and heritage here. Citizenship is another thing! It means the country that you live in, you work, get payed and you pay taxes there… etc *Political term* The thing with America is that because it’s not a nation they cannot rely on bloodline to give nationality! So, they rely on territories! If you are born on American land you are American… 😂this is the stupidest thing ever but it’s the only way America can give nationality! I have two Hellene🇬🇷 parents and all of my ancestors were Hellenes🇬🇷 but I was born on an American plane I would be “American”… Do you understand now? All of you are American *CITIZENS* All of you have roots in either Europe, Africa of Asia. You’re ALL immigrants there! Only the natives can say there’s American they will never do that because they didn’t had one term for all this piece of land! Nationality-blood ≠ citizenship It doesn’t matter where they were born. They are what they grandparent were! Bloodlines 🩸 🪢

From context it sounds like they were born in the US while their immigrant parents were living here. And for all we know their parents were naturalized citizens (meaning they passed a citizenship test once they moved here.) In the United States if someone is born within the USA then you are automatically a US citizen no matter where the parents were from originally. Also, if either one of the parents was a US citizen then their child is automatically a US citizen at birth no matter what country they were living in at the time (although that's not relevant in this case.)

What you even talking about?😂

OP doesn't understand immigration.
