America is a collection of all creeds, colors, races, nationalities, and religions. We are not one group of people here and do not all follow the same views. Some views we bring from our individual cultures and places of origin. So shouldn't all nations claim the negative and positive views of the US?

"An American culture per se is non-existent"
That's my point exactly. There is not not one distinct American Culture. Th US is a compilation of all nations.

I'm sure other countries do see what their kind do here. Like if the Chinese were to start doing stupid things here the ones in China wouldn't like it because they know we'd probably look at all of them that way.

The point is that even though America is a "melting pot," once people become Americans, they owe their allegiance to America-not their birth country. That is why during a war with some nations in the past, people of a certain ethnicity were placed in camps so that they could be kept under observation. Our government didn't want to take the chance that they would conspire against America with their country of origin.

I don't follow the logic. Why should a nation follow any American viewpoint? An American culture per se is non-existent.
