What are the biggest misconceptions Indians have about USA?
Indian engineers are superior than American.
In last decade getting a job in abroad was trending a lot. One of my cousin got an IT job in Australia and entire family was proud of him. Suddenly he became a sensation in the family and everybody was looking upto him. Even my parents were forcing me to study hard and then get a job abroad.
My cousin was earning around INR 25k in Indian and in Australia his salary was around INR 1 Lakh. I always wondered if my cousin was so brilliant then why is he being paid such a low salary in country like Australia.
Why American companies bring Indian engineers in their country?
Recently I was searching for DevOps jobs in USA and in most job posting I have found that requirement was for 8+ years of experience. I was a bit surprised because I have heard that many people with just 3 to 5 years of experience were sent to USA by many MNC.
印度人对美国最大的谬见是什么？
印度工程师比美国工程师好。
在过去的十年里，到国外找工作的趋势很大。我的一个堂兄在澳大利亚找到了一份IT工作，全家都为他感到骄傲。突然间，他成了家里的红人，每个人都崇拜他。甚至我的父母都强迫我努力学习，然后在国外找一份工作。
我堂兄在印度的收入约为25000卢比，在澳大利亚的工资约为10万卢比。我一直在想，如果我的堂兄这么聪明，为什么他在澳大利亚这样的国家薪水这么低。
为什么美国公司把印度工程师带到他们的国家？
最近，我在美国寻找开发运维的工作，在大多数招聘中，我发现要求有8年以上的工作经验。我有点惊讶，因为我听说许多只有3-5年经验的人被许多跨国公司派往美国。

I researched about it and found a guy named Tech Lead on Youtube. Through his videos I came to know about the situation of Indian software engineers in USA. The truth is that Indians are given the opportunity to work in USA not because they are brilliant but because they are cheap labours. If a USA company hires a USA citizen as an employee then they have to follow the law and provide the minimum wage and other compensations. They need to treat their employee in proper way and the employee only need to work for 9 hours.
Meanwhile the engineers which are brought from India and China are just cheap labours. Companies doesn’t require to pay them high salaries and any compensation, these engineers are treated as labours by managers and they have to work extra hours inorder to secure their jobs.
After learning this everything made sense to me that why my cousin was paid low salary. Why Americans are losing their jobs to Indian and Chinese engineers and why Donald Trump has made it difficult for people in other countries to get a H1-B visa. People are criticising him for this decision but in reality what he did is for the future of his citizens.
我研究了一下，在油管上找到了一个叫Tech Lead的人。通过他的视频，我了解了印度软件工程师在美国的情况。事实是，印度人有机会在美国工作，不是因为他们很聪明，而是因为他们是廉价劳动力。如果一家美国公司雇佣一名美国公民作为员工，那么他们必须遵守法律，提供最低工资和其他补偿。他们需要以适当的方式对待员工，而员工只需要工作9个小时。
与此同时，从印度和中国引进的工程师完全是廉价劳动力。公司不要求向他们支付高薪和任何补偿，这些工程师被经理视为劳动力，他们必须加班才能保住工作。
在了解到这一点后，我明白了为什么我堂兄的工资很低，为什么美国人的工作被印度和中国的工程师夺走，为什么唐纳德·特朗普让其他国家的人很难获得H1-B签证，人们批评他的这一决定，但事实上，他所做的是为了公民的未来。

Why Indians want to work in USA?
Most Indians always admire western culture. They believe that those people are superior than us and that we can live a luxurious life there. What they don’t know that USA is around 5 times more costlier than India. If you earn INR 1 Lakh per month then you will require around INR 5 Lakh or $7000 per month to maintain same lifestyle. The cost of living in USA is much higher when compared to India. The only benefit of living in USA is fresh air and the quality of life of middle class people in USA is much better than that of Indian’s.
What is the alternative?
If you really want to get a job in USA, rather than getting a chance through a MNC you should try to get a job by yourself. Only go to USA if you really want to settle down there otherwise if you are intelligent then you can earn a high salary in India as well.
Other alternative is Europe with Germany being the tech capital of Europe. You can find tech jobs in many cities like Berlin, London, Paris and Amsterdam. Unlike USA these countries only hire skilled individuals from all around the world because there is lack of IT engineers in their country.
为什么印度人想在美国工作？
大多数印度人总是欣赏西方文化。他们认为那些人比我们优越，我们可以在那里过上奢华的生活。他们不知道的是，美国的生活成本大约是印度的5倍。如果你每月挣10万卢比，那么你将需要大约50万卢比或7000美元才能维持同样的生活方式。与印度相比，美国的生活成本要高得多。在美国生活的唯一好处是新鲜空气，美国中产阶级的生活质量比印度人好得多。
还有什么选择？
如果你真的想在美国找到一份工作，而不是通过跨国公司获得机会，你应该试着自己找工作。只有当你真的想在美国定居的时候才去美国，否则如果你很聪明，那么你也可以在印度挣到高薪的。
另一种选择是欧洲，德国是欧洲的科技之都。你可以在柏林、伦敦、巴黎和阿姆斯特丹等许多城市找到科技类工作。与美国不同，这些国家只雇佣来自世界各地的技术人员，因为他们国家缺乏IT工程师。

What are the myths about Americans (United States)?
Here's a few things that people have rather ignorantly assumed in my personal experience:
We can carry guns anywhere. Not recommended. Hopefully some more restrictions will be placed on guns in the future, but as of right now there still are many places that you cannot carry a gun unless you are a police officer. I don't recommend you take a gun to a school. Concealed or open, period.
We are stupid. I don't know where this came from, but Americans are all about innovation and creativity. We have long been serious supporters of anything that moves us toward the future. We have some of the greatest minds and some of the hardest working people. We aren't stupid.
We are fat. Interesting thing to note, while visiting the United States you will likely find that the majority of citizens are nowhere near obese. We do however have a large overweight population that resides in the less wealthier places. It's a paradox. The richer, the skinner. The poorer, the fatter. Also, most touristy areas will be occupied with non-overweight citizens.
关于美国人（美国）的谬见是什么？
根据我的个人经验，人们相当无知地认为:
我们可以把枪带到任何地方，这是不推荐的。希望将来会对枪支有更多的限制，但到目前为止，在很多地方，除非你是警察，否则你不能携带枪支。我不建议你带枪去学校——不管隐蔽，还是公开，就这样。
我们很愚蠢，我不知道这个认知是从哪里来的，但美国人都注重创新和创造力。长期以来，我们一直是推动我们走向未来的事情上的坚定支持者。我们有一些最伟大的头脑和最努力工作的人，我们并不愚蠢。
我们很胖，有趣的是，当你访问美国时，你可能会发现大多数公民离肥胖还远着呢。然而，我们确实有大量超重人口居住在不太富裕的地方。这是一个悖论，越有钱，越瘦，越穷越胖。此外，大多数旅游区域将被非超重市民占据。

English is the only language we prefer to speak. Uuh… nope. I've met very few Americans who would choose to only speak English. Americans love those who can speak a language other than theirs. There is much pride in bilingualism and so on. Whenever I tell people I am fluent in Spanish even high schoolers respond with “Wow. That's really cool!” Now, many Americans cannot speak anything more than English simply because they don't have it as a priority and there's really not much you can do here with any other language besides Spanish (usually).
Our smiles are fake. When we smile at other people we are showing them that we are not cold, dangerous individuals. Our smiles are warm, friendly greetings. They aren't to be interpreted as superficial attempts to be friends with everyone. Stop overthinking it. It's just meant to be friendly.
We all live lavish lifestyles. Not really true… In fact, most people in this country are in debt trying to achieve a lifestyle that isn't meant for them.
英语是我们唯一喜欢说的语言。呃，不过我很少遇到只会说英语的美国人，美国人喜欢那些会说其他语言的人。能说双语让人感到骄傲，每当我告诉人们我能流利地说西班牙语时，即使是高中生也会回答“哇。这真的很酷！”。
我们的笑容是假的，当我们对别人微笑时，我们是在向他们表明我们不是冷酷、危险的人。我们的微笑是热情友好的问候。他们不应该被理解为肤浅地试图与所有人成为朋友。别想太多了。这只是为了表示友好。
我们都过着奢侈的生活，不是真的……事实上，这个国家的大多数人都负债累累，试图实现一种不适合他们的生活方式。

What are the biggest misconceptions that Indians have about India?
Most of the Indians believe that the English we speak has a lot of pronunciation errors when compared to UK English or American English.
First thing, there is just one English, but many dialects such as American/UK/Australian etc.
Just as one of those dialects is the Indian English. This dialect is now spoken by as many as 250 million people! And hence it is a globally accepted form of English.
So, Whenever someone makes fun of your Pronunciation, don't feel bad, because whatever way you are speaking is perfect. Indian English is now one of the most spoken dialects of English Language!
印度人对印度最大的误解是什么？
大多数印度人认为，与英式英语或美式英语相比，我们所说的英语有很多发音错误。
首先，只有一种英语，但有许多语调，如美式/英式/澳大利亚语调等。
正如其中一种语调是印度语调的英语。现在有多达2.5亿人使用这种语调！因此，它是一种全球公认的英语形式。
所以，每当有人取笑你的发音时，不要感到难过，因无论你用什么方式说话都是完美的。印度语调的英语现在是英语中最常用的方言之一！

What are some myths about the United States of America?
A couple of these are stereotypes but they do count as myths as well {not writing in any order} :
Obesity - Americans are almost always 6ft tall and weight 300 pounds {extremely obese} - not true. Though they do have a problem with obesity it’s not as widespread as people believe.
Language - That English is America’s declared national language. Actually it’s not but it is the most widely used language so not much difference.
Religion - That America is a Christian country. Actually they’re not despite majority of their population being Christians. They are one of the first countries to separate State and Church.
Freedom - That you can what ever you want {to a great extent} in the US - land of the free. Actually No you can’t. US has some of the widest and strictest legal systems in the world. You could get arrested for taking liquor over state lines. They are also one of the most monitored and policed populations on the planet.
Perception of Politics - That American politics is clean and efficient. It’s the opposite - their politics are just as dirty, corrupt and unreasonable {especially during election times} as it is in any country with a Westminister parliamentary or similar political system.
关于美利坚合众国有哪些谬见？
其中一些是刻板印象，但它们也被视为谬见{随机顺序}：
肥胖——美国人几乎总是身高6英尺，体重300磅（极度肥胖）——这不是真的。尽管他们确实有肥胖问题，但并不像人们想象的那样普遍。
语言——英语是美国宣布的国家语言。事实上不是，但它是使用最广泛的语言，所以没有太大区别。
宗教——美国是一个基督教国家。事实上，尽管他们的大多数人口都是基督徒，但他们并不是基督教国家，他们是最早将国家和教会分离的国家之一。
自由——在很大程度上，你可以在美国——自由的土地上做任何你想做的事。事实上不，你不能。美国拥有世界上最广泛、最严格的法律体系。你可能会因为越界饮酒而被捕。他们也是地球上最受监控和监管的人群之一。
政治观念——美国政治是干净高效的。恰恰相反，他们的政治与任何拥有威斯敏斯特议会或类似政治制度的国家一样肮脏、腐败和不合理（尤其是在选举期间）。

Stereotypes about African American and Hispanic people - That all African Americans are slum/ghetto gangsters dealing drugs and shooting each other in driveby’s while all Hispanics are drug cartel members with bosses in Mexico or South America. It’s as far away from the truth as it can be. Almost all African American and Hispanic people in the US are normal hardworking people {there is a poverty issue and it leads to organized crime and so on just like anywhere else but it’s a distinctive minority.}
Wealth - People believe America is the land of wealth and everyone there owns a nice independent house with cars and go on foreign trips frequently. Reality is quite different. The US has always had a significant poverty {relative to other parts of their population and even other developed nations} issue and wealth divide. This has led to anger against the perceived Elite, class issues and similar problems just like everywhere else.
Hollywood - There is a belief that all Hollywood movies and American Television Series are always excellent in quality. It’s not true. Most of the world especially people in India, China and elsewhere have this impression because we only get to see the best of what their media produces and this leads to a big inferiority complex regarding their own media industry. The truth is the US makes a lot of low and normal budget and extremely average/boring/flop shows/films as well but they are not known outside. Only AAA titles get big PR campaigns and thus this myth comes about.
关于非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人的刻板印象——所有的非洲裔美国人都是贫民窟/贫民窟里的黑帮，他们贩毒，在汽车里互相射击，而所有的西班牙裔美国人都是贩毒集团的成员，他们的老板在墨西哥或南美，这与事实相去甚远。美国几乎所有的非裔美国人和西班牙裔美国人都是正常的勤劳的人{与其他地方一样，存在贫困问题，导致存在组织性的犯罪等，但这是一个独特的少数群体。}
财富-人们相信美国是财富之地，那里的每个人都拥有一栋带汽车的漂亮的独立房子，并经常出国旅行。现实情况大不相同。美国一直存在着严重的贫困问题和贫富差距。这导致了人们对精英、阶级问题和类似问题的愤怒，就像其他地方一样。
好莱坞——有一种观点认为，所有好莱坞电影和美国电视剧的质量都很好，这不是真的。世界上大多数人，尤其是印度、中国和其他地方的人，都有这种印象，因为我们只能看到他们媒体制作的最好的东西，这导致他们对自己的媒体行业产生了巨大的自卑情结。事实是，美国也制作了很多低成本、正常预算和极其普通/无聊/失败的节目/电影，但它们并不为外界所知。只有AAA级的头衔的节目/电影才能获得大规模的公关活动，因此这个谬见就产生了。

Military and Warmongering - The US is considered invincible and victorious in all their wars and that Americans are a warmongering lot. Thats far from the truth. They have had their share of beatdowns and the US hasn’t won a decisive victory after WWII. Their operations in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere have always been bogged down and at best been partial successes only. These operations have also led to a massive backlashes domestically and every big war they join leads to a massive anti-war and pro-peace rallies. The Americans are just as peace-loving as the rest of us. It’s just that they’re very emotional and act in anger/reflex easily {moreso than other population} which is exploited by their Government over the years.
American Pie/Sex in the City - I had to write about this especially. People think the US is the land of free sex, that you could do “this” and “that” easily and it’s common to be promiscuous. No it’s not. They do have a culture of dating and sex but it’s not as much as what Hollywood paints it to be. Many of them are conservative and even the liberals take their relationships extremely carefully. They are no more promiscuous than the Europeans or the Brits. Hollywood wrongly paints them as sex-maniacs/nympho’s.
Accent - This is partially true. Accents other than the ones used in the US do get you teased/mocked and they are a negative if you’re planning to live/work/socialize in the US. But it’s not as bad as what the media makes it out to be as well. By the way, Americans have more accents than just the typical Texan and African American ones.
军事和战争贩子——美国被认为是不可战胜的，在所有战争中都取得了胜利，美国人是战争贩子。这与事实相去甚远，他们也遭受过打击，而美国在二战后并没有取得决定性的胜利。他们在韩国、越南、阿富汗、伊拉克和其他地方的行动一直停滞不前，充其量只是部分成功。这些行动也导致了国内的大规模反弹，他们参加的每一场大战都会引发大规模的反战和支持和平的集会。美国人和我们其他人一样热爱和平。只是他们非常情绪化，很容易（比其他人更容易）愤怒/做出本能反应，多年来被他们的政府利用。
《美国派》/《欲望都市》——我特别要写这个。人们认为美国是性自由的国度，你可以很容易地做“这个”和“那个”，而且滥交很常见。不，不是的。他们确实有约会和性的文化，但并不像好莱坞描绘的那样多。他们中的许多人是保守的，甚至自由主义者也非常谨慎地对待他们的关系。他们并不比欧洲人或英国人更滥交。好莱坞却错误地把他们描绘成性狂魔。
口音-这部分是正确的。美国以外的口音会让你被嘲笑，如果你打算在美国生活、工作、社交，这些口音会给你带来负面影响。但它并不像媒体所说的那么糟糕。顺便说一下，美国人有更多的口音，而不仅仅是典型的德克萨斯和非洲裔美国人的口音。

《美国派》/《欲望都市》——我特别要写这个。人们认为美国是性自由的国度，你可以很容易地做“这个”和“那个”，而且滥交很常见。不，不是的。他们确实有约会和性的文化，但并不像好莱坞描绘的那样多。他们中的许多人是保守的，甚至自由主义者也非常谨慎地对待他们的关系。他们并不比欧洲人或英国人更滥交。好莱坞却错误地把他们描绘成性狂魔。
口音-这部分是正确的。美国以外的口音会让你被嘲笑，如果你打算在美国生活、工作、社交，这些口音会给你带来负面影响。但它并不像媒体所说的那么糟糕。顺便说一下，美国人有更多的口音，而不仅仅是典型的德克萨斯和非洲裔美国人的口音。

What are some popular misconceptions about the United States?
We actually have really good beer. It’s just that our shitty beer is the commercial, widely-marketed beer. I’m pretty sure no one buys Bud Lights for any reason other than theyre ridiculously cheap and 10 of them might give you a buzz, but who cares? You only spent about $3. American craft beer, on the other hand, is great, and expansive. But you have to actually go to America, and to these specific places to find them.
We call it “soccer”because that was the original, if colloquial, term for the sport. When it started in England in the 1860s, the first schoolyard league was called the “Association League”, or simply called “Assoccer” for short. Why that term came over here and stayed, I have no idea. But this is researchable stuff.
The U.S has tons of culture. There are cuisines unique to each region, slang and dialects unique to each region, and even races; many African Americans speak AAVE- African American Vernacular English and many Mexican-Americans speak Chicano English. There’s also differing heritage and music.
对美国的一些普遍误解是什么？
事实上，我们有非常好的啤酒。只是我们的劣质啤酒是商业化的、广泛销售的啤酒。我敢肯定，没有人会因为任何原因购买Bud Lights，除了它们便宜得离谱，其中10个可能会让你大吃一惊，但谁在乎呢？你只花了大约3美元。另一方面，美国精酿啤酒非常棒，而且种类繁多。但你必须去到美国，去那些特定的地方才能找到它们。
我们称之为“足球”，因为这是这项运动最初的口语术语。19世纪60年代，当足球运动在英国兴起时，第一个校园联赛被称为“协会联赛”，或者简称为“足球协会”。我不知道为什么这个词会出现在这里并保留下来。但这是可以研究的东西。
美国有很多文化，每个地区都有独特的菜系，每个地区甚至种族都有独特的俚语和方言；许多非裔美国人讲非洲裔美国黑人英语（AAVE），许多墨西哥裔美国人讲墨西哥式的英语，这里也有不同的传统和音乐。
