The autocorrect suggestions below, from different Google country pages around the world, show the most popular questions that people have about Americans. Google says its Autocomplete suggestions are generated by algorithms that reflect what other people are searching for, the content of web pages, and recent searches you have done in the past. They're not in real time, so it doesn't reflect necessarily what people are Googling this second, but it gives a good hint.
