# True,
history is always slanted towards whom ever writes it, but there are
such things as checkable facts too, and it's VERY annoying when they
just decide to ignore them and slot themselves in on top somehow.

# As entertaining as yank-bashing is,
there really isn't much difference between that and any other form of racism/generalization.

I don't agree with a LOT of their policies, but to generalise them all as thick cunts is missing the point a bit.

# Agreed.

I've no problem saying that they generally make very agressive, sort sighted, really fucked up political decisions and their people are generally xenophobic with no global perspective.

But to call them all idiots and cunts is just not doing them justice.

# It's not racism
American is a nationality, not a race.

So it's not racism, it's just good, old fashioned nationalistic bombast and xenophobia. Not racism.

Someone should give Bush a book on the British Empire, so he can see:

B: Why it's such a bad idea!

# yes yes
but by your logic, we then wouldn't be able to point out that EVERY french man rides a bike whilst wearing a black and white stripey top with onions round his neck, and we wouldn't be able to say the germans nick the sun beds.

# Of course steriotypes can be fun.


Being British in Canada leads to lots of people coming up with fun steriotypes about the British, of which I play into sometimes, other times I pretend to be offended by their 'racism'.

It's tough to be offended by steriotypes if you're secure in your identity as a person or a race, but they *can* lead to skewed thinking.

# Yep, you can be two things if both countries have agreements to allow such things.

I'm British/Canadian. I believe I'd have to give up the British if I ever wanted to become American though (which I'll never do).
