Level 1 Answer: Perhaps educate your friends that a large percentage of Americans are Latino, Hispanic, Black, Indian, Arab, Jewish, and just about every other ethnic group in the world.
Level 2 Answer: Also point out to your uneducated friends that there are many countries full of "Americans". The Americas are a hemisphere. Half a world. As in the land that Leif Erickson and Columbus 'discovered" after the Native Americans migrated to it around 10,000 or more years ago.
Level 3 Answer: Everybody is prejudiced. Everybody. Your friends are racist because of their comments about "Americans." It is true that some Americans (US nationals) are arrogant, obnoxious, insensitive, imperialistic, and just about any insulting word you can throw at them. But not all are. To make a generalization is racist. Check yourself out. If you want to deal with racism and prejudice, deal with your own. Check out your prejudices. Try an experiment: Find someone you think is an idiot or whatever and spend some time with that person. Listen to what the say. You may not end up liking them but you will come away with some understanding. That is the real cure for racism: To get to know the one you think is the enemy only because of the way they look, their nationality, whatever.

Your friends r idiots and obviously the ones w/ the bias. Other races make up large part of America, so I guess u must b talking about only white Americans. Most of people from US r not racist and many marry outside their race. Ever here of "The Great Melting Pot?"
Why do I get the feeling u come from a country where u r not free to do most of the the things u talk about?

Not every American is the same on those issues. Some will and some won't marry outside their race and their reasons aren't always racially motivated. Most Americans are not racists.

True of some americans, but your friends are generalizing. They should realize that america is made up of all kinds of different ethnic groups. There's lots of black people in america, do _they_ not like blacks? There's lots of interracial people, eg with one asian parent and one european, to _they_ not marry out of their race?
Your friends should try living in New York City for a while and they will see how ignorant they are.

America is a country made out of all different races.
we may have our differences with each other sometimes but when it comes right down to it....Black,White,Asian or Hispanic...
we will always stand by each other as Americans.
I am proud to be an American just as you are proud of your nationality and I am proud to stand with my countrymen no matter how different they are from me.
this is the unity that people of other nations really don't understand...and unfortunately it's human nature to fear and hate something they don't understand.

in quite some situations, older human beings bypass to stay in nursing properties or "assisted residing centers." the following, they have, at ideal, a great, useful bedroom with a private bathing room, and at worst, a small, well being center-like room shared with an elderly stranger. nonetheless others are in a position to stay independently until eventually lack of life, with toddlers or others often times preventing by using to assist. some (perhaps 10-20% of) elders do stay with their toddlers. operating example, my husband's aunt in basic terms bought a great domicile so as that her mom ought to share it. customarily, even as elderly moms and dads stay with grown toddlers, that's the daughters fairly than the sons who do the paintings of worrying. there is probably an American guy who lives with his moms and dads, spouse, and toddlers, yet maximum human beings ought to guage that to be a really crowded domicile. Any married couple residing in a house owned by using 1 in all their moms and dads is appeared on with suspicion. that's presumed that they are unsuccessful and can't manage to pay for his or her own residence. If the moms and dads move into the COUPLE's domicile, that's considered more beneficial valuable.

Americans are like people in any other country. Some are more open-minded than others. I try not to judge others, because people are people and all deserve to be given the benefit of the doubt.
