Non-Americans share 15 misconceptions they had about the U.S. that changed after visiting it.

Many people were blown away by how kind Americans were when they met them.

A Redditor asked non-Americans to share their misconceptions about America that they believed until they visited the country and saw it for themselves.

Non-Americans reveal the things Americans do that they simply do not understand.

"I was just taken aback by how much influence the media has here, to an almost brainwashing degree" "I thought US people all lived in good conditions. But the levels of poverty in cities like Portland , Seattle , Oakland , and New York were astonishing".
