What's up with Americans and nudity? | Feli from Germany
▸"Florida principal forced to resign after showing students Michelangelo's 'David' [penis] statue" or "Parents complain about 'pornographic' David statue" 👈 These types of headlines went around the world a couple months ago and left many [European] people in [post-Renaissance] Italy and other [Eurozone] countries utterly confused.
What's wrong with the [full frontal naked] David statue [with his penis showing]? How could anyone ever think this was porn? So let's talk about how nudity is handled in everyday situations in the USA compared to Germany and why it seems to be such a taboo topic in the States.
Let's nerd out on German (U.S. Pennsylvania Dutch," which is Deutsch)

ABOUT: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia ("Feli"). I'm 29, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany, but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio, off-and-on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my Master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky. I won a green card lottery and have became a permanent resident in 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about. Danke. :)
