Making generalizations about someone because they're American is the same as making generalizations about someone because of their race: it's hurtful. amirite?

I just let them be ignorant bastards. It's their loss for trying to gain an extra enemy because they want to make assumptions about Americans.

yet most if not all generalizations are true

Not sure why people are voting this negatively; it's true. For example: Americans, you've never heard of the following country: Palau. I could name 50 more countries. Don't vote this negatively, 'cause you know you're ignorant about ther outside world.

I'm American, and I just don't give a fuck about what people say? It's not hurtful because I don't care.

In other words, you're ignorant.

Not everyone gets all hurt because people that don't even LIVE in America make assumptions. Those people are ignorant, and if what they say actually hurts you, I think you have bigger problems.

Being American is a race.... what you said is the same thing =/

More proof of Americans' ignorance. I love it how Americans say they're not ignorant, but they are.

Hurtful? Don't take things so seriously. I'm British and we get mocked for having bad teeth and I don't take it to heart because it's not true for me. It's only hurtful if it's truthful, otherwise it should mean nothing to you.

It's almost as annoying as Americans making generalisations abpout British people, like how we all supposedly have immaculate manners, strong posh accents, drink a lot of tea and how basically the only city in the whole of England is London.

I honestly haven't seen anyone making generalizations about British people on here....

They weren't specifically talking about on here. On TV that's apparently how we all speak, Iv never hears Anyone talk like that and if you heard my English accent you wouldn't guess I was English!!

Oh, then I've only heard one of those generalizations about British people, that they drink a lot of tea. I would much rather have people make a generalization about what we drink than about how "stupid" we are...

When/where do people make you out to be stupid? (Im asking in general way not argumentative) Are you American?

Well the thing about the Internet is you dont know who is on the other side of the screen. It could be an American or some guy who thinks he is being hilarious. That's the other thing about the Internet, you can't read between the lines.

But you have think logically, why would an American want to call himself stupid?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I thought I kinda implied it, like if it's meant in a jokey way, if an American wrote it he might just be an easy going guy who doesn't take things too seriously. If you can't laugh at yourself who can you laugh at? People discriminate all the time, you just can't let things like that get to you otherwise you will never escape from it, it's everywhere.

Oh, I wish it was just American's making fun of themselves, but I highly doubt that..

I'm American and voted this down. It's stupid. Liloquand had a good point about the truth thing.
