Some young American TikTok users are coming to the country’s defense after seeing videos made by overseas users that elevate stereotypes about people who live in the U.S.
"I think it’s really hypocritical to see so many people have discourse around the U.S. when those same issues are often reflected in other countries," said one TikTok user.
The trend ramped up this week after one user, who goes by Sara Falcon, made a series of viral videos in which she criticized the U.S. and suggested that there is a lack of diversity in the country. It's unclear where Sara Falcon, who has made her account private, is from or where she is based. Users speculate she is British. Her other accounts on social media are also private. Her YouTube and Twitter accounts appear inactive. She was unable to be reached for comment.
Still, “after seeing her video I was like, ‘Nah. I need to say something for the sake of myself and if not anyone else,” said Rhea Shetty, who made a video in response to Sara Falcon. “I kind of got the impression the most exposure she got to America was like ‘Friends’ or ‘Seinfeld,’” said Jumana Shami, 27. “I can understand why you would think America looks this way, but it’s very divorced from reality.”
Sara Falcon is the most recent creator to go viral for sharing her views on the U.S. But she isn’t the only non-American creator to make content that American Gen Zers and millennials have felt compelled to reply to.
