Ever wonder what animals represent the stupid stereotype in each country?
00:06
And today, let's take a look at how each country has its own mascot for the foolishness.
00:13
In the US, the donkey symbolizes ignorance, especially in politics.
00:17
In Japan, the duck represents someone easily fooled, while in Germany, the goose is seen
00:22
as gullible.
00:23
What about Thailand?
00:24
Here the buffalo is often associated with stubbornness, and yes, sometimes a little
00:29
bit of foolishness.
00:30
But don't worry, the buffalo is also a symbol of strength and hardworking nature in Thai
00:36
culture.
00:37
Growing up, I often heard Thai mothers say to their kids, go to school, you need to study
00:41
hard, otherwise the buffalo horns will come out of your head and you will become as stupid
00:46
as the buffalo and go plowing the field.
00:50
Yeah, so what represents stupidness in your country?
00:53
Let us know in the comments.
