Since you asked previously, your still acting hurt, and I have a bit of time, a few quotes just from this thread:

No one else in the world is loud or obese. Only those Americans.

Please don't get me wrong; I don't like Americans less for it - this is all about observing differences, rather than passing judgement. Americans have a commute-car culture, so walk/excersie less. They tend to work long hours, so do less home-cooked food, and more take-aways. They tend to be more vocal and rumbuctuos too. Add it all up...
Nothing wrong with that, in fact I rather enjoy it, just I have not witnessed it for several years, so it really struck me.
Negative stereotyping much?

speaking broad American with just a vestigial hint of heartlander-Sgn remaining (//'So, yah, I like said to Anastasia that it's you know like really gross and .. //wah damn siow horr!'). I ponder how SGns, more so the youngsters, very quickly adopt foreign accents if they spend any time abroad.
Of course any air-headed sounding spoken English habits that aren't Singlish must obviously be American. I'm sure every teenage girl in England must speak like she was tutored by the Queen herself.

- Axe-faced caucasian women. Where are they from I wonder, Australia, America? I have only ever experienced this previously on moving from the east to the west (going from softer/smaller features to bigger harder ones; but here I am noting the reverse most odd).
You and Brah discussed this one already. All I have to add is that British women are the last thing I think of when I think of beautiful. Exceptions given to all of the first and second generation immigrants from places England colonized, and Keira Knightly.

- SGn children who speak with American accents.
'American' English is such an awful thing we must call it out and label it.

(Not trying to cause trouble, this is 100% true).
Curiously enough the only place I've ever seen heroin addict cooking and shooting up his fix was in London. One of the pedestrian tunnels by Hyde Park.
Not trying to cause trouble, this is 100% true. But I'll say it like this anyway to *imply* it's somehow associated with all brits being junkies.

That's just this thread, using ctrl-F and looking for 'amer'. I know I can find a lot more in other threads if i had time. I remember plenty of poor geography and similar comments in the past few months.
Again, most of these are fine. You made the post, I'm thick skinned and really don't care (and can agree with most of it). But your getting bent out of shape and indignation at any observation about YOU now seems really silly.
