There is, and always has been, so much hypocrisy and animosity towards Americans here in Canada, so no, I wasn’t misinterpreting. Again, would you ever make a post called “stupid Chinese?” Are you so simple-minded as to think that a thread title like that WOULDN’T be misconstrued?
For the record, I despise political correctness… but I loathe these kind of blanket statements even more. You’re right, you didn’t generalize them in your post, but you did in the thread title.
Problem is, here in Canada, that kind of attitude towards Americans is acceptable. Therein lies the hypocrisy. We praise ourselves for being open minded and accepting, but because Americans are not a race and it’s popular to hate on them, everyone does it guilt free. If you weren’t doing that in your post, then I apologize for the the accusation, but NOT the interpretation because it’s all too common here.
