I’m sick of hearing sanctimonious Brits complaining about Americans and talking down to us. Some of the crap often spouted by Brits:
1 Yanks are overweight
2 Yanks are loud
3 Yanks are racist
4 Yanks are religious Bible-bashers
Lets dispell these myths
1. Yes, many Americans are fat. But I've been to the UK and lots of Brits are fat, too. I live in Northern California and there are few fat ppl here. BTW, Britain is 3RD in the world for obesity: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity
2 Americans may be loud, but so are lots of Brits. Ever been in the UK when the World Cup is on? You'll see lots of loudmouthed, arrogant flagwavers
3 Racists do exist in the US, but its also a problem in Britain. I heard lots of bigotry directed at Asians when I was there
4 Americans are Bible-bashers? You Brits have an entire REGION (ie N. Ireland) where Protestants & Catholics fight over religion like it was the 15th Century.
Get off your high horses, Brits.
