[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] Don't forget these stereotypes: <ul> [*] All Americans all carry guns and that the US is the gun lovinist country that ever loved a gun. [*] Americans have a horribly antiquated prison system...they only warehouse the ones they don't kill off via lethal injection. </ul> Stereotypes being what they are, I think that most American are still imbued with that old Manifest Destiny ideology and a certain City On A Hill belief system that seperates the world into easy "us vs. them" piles. And some would argue about whether there really is such a thing a "American Culture." It might be just an amalgam of Britany Spears / N Sync songs, Cuban folk dances, African drum beats and Scotish poetry...or whatever was brought by those who came over. Whatever it is, it is no longer dominated by white male hegemony. The recognition and acceptance of diversity angers quite a few people who no longer have the spotlight. [/QB][/QUOTE]
