Sometimes people who totally hate on American culture really annoy me.

For example,

I’m watching a trashy reality show, and someone comments on how in Asia they would never do that because so wildly. They’d be more sophisticated about it, and just talk behind each others backs. Ummm…isn’t that all based on perception? On this side of the pond, we’d observe that as being weak. I’m not saying either side is more effective, but I’m just tired of people just blaming everything negative in the world on Americans. The fact that you are even bashing on America is just proving your ethnocentrism and making your own culture look bad.

C’mon. If we were so ill-fitting to your society, why do you seek to emulate us? Everything has some basis on American culture, and admittedly, we have some from elsewhere as well. You say we talk a lot of trash and are pig-headed? Observe yourself and see that your culture does the same thing – spreads the same amount of slander, spreads an equal degree of smut. It’s just that we’re one of the richest and one you look to the most, so yeah the biggest is going to attract the brashest remarks. If you didn’t like this country so much, I’d suggest you expatriate and never return. Thanks, save us some time. So annoying – whining about the country of your origin so much. I think everyone should open their mind up to actually realizing that everyone’s not as bad as they may appear, and in actuality despite our cultural differences, we all behave the same way.

I KNOW: Plenty of fallacies in this ranting, but I’ll reaffirm it nonetheless. Actually this entry is directed to one person in particular, so maybe I shouldn’t be generalizing entire cultures, but…no I should. Because I know it’s true.
