Yes, some Americans are narrow-minded but some people like you for instance are pretty much narrow-minded too since you know people like you from China or Timbuktu think WE Americans are all the same. =)
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Do you realize waht you are doing right now? You are stereotyping an entire people.
I'll have you know that many many Americans are open-minded people. Yes, there are those who stereotype others, but despite this we are a good people.
I'm also well-aware of the stereotypes put against Americans: that we are arrogant, fat, aggressive. stupid and of course, narrow-minded. Do you truely believe any of these things about us? Do you assume that I have any of these characteristics despite the fact that you never met me? If you do than I believe the thing for you to do is to 'remove the speck out of your own eye.'
We Americans really are a wonderful people. It's too bad you fail to see that and see the good in us, because I may very well see good in your people whoever they may be.
not all Americans are like that, ur basing it on a stereotype which is kinda hypocritical but what eva. i know a few Americans that aren't at all like that.
By saying that aren't yourself being narrow minded? Americans aren't stereotypical of everyone for anything, you may have seen in movies what you think is how americans act or maybe you live here and have encountered some people who are like that but the majority of us are open to many different cultures, but when we come across something thats morally not right, like the violation of human rights in places such as china or darfur, we begin to have a mental image of that place form and therefore we begin to not like that place so very much and push for political action to change that
You know, it's comments like those that get on my nerves. I'm going to rant, so brace yourselves;
You came up with one stereotype that I've never heard of: Chinese suck at English. And furthermore, isn't saying "Americans are narrow-minded" a stereotype in itself? Think before you put finger to keyboard.
Now to explain the misconception;
Fox news is the main central hive of bigotry, narrow-mindedness, jackass-ery, and douchebaggery. The strictly republican network spreads lies and viciousness about everyone who is a little different. For instance, they have been insulting and degrading and bringing down our current president - Barack Obama. They have called him Hitler, a communist, socialist(which doesn't make sense), and have accused him of planning out Death panels.
This is the brand of shitty people polluting our airwaves. Not all republicans are bad-most of them aren't. I'm just saying, they'll believe anything. And it's painting that image about America that I despise.
So think before you make a generalization. And it doesn't matter anyways--Everyone Generalizes about something.
Only dumbasses are believe stereotypes precisely. However, most stereotypes are true if you think of them as generalizations and not necessarily true for individuals.
