..also what's the difference between a person who's "English" vs. "British"? I know it has to do with where a person is from, England, Ireland, etc. but it's unclear..
Back to my main question: WHY are some Brits so prejudice against Americans? (for example the British slang: "septic tank = Yank, an American.")
I've never been to England before but it seems like many Brits are very anti-American. Brits can't just lump us Americans all together like that. America is an incredibly diverse country and obviously everyone is going to be different and have their own opinions on matters, political or otherwise.
I've recently watched Green Street Hooligans (about English football fans and 'firms') and the characters are all extremely anti-American. Is this true to life or just exaggerated for film???
*****For humanities' sake I hope that there isn't this must unfounded prejudice in the world! *****
p.s. I've always loved British culture and literature...Rosie Rushton :) !
