As an American who converses and speaks frankly with anyone, I'm just used to the predominent "USA $uck$" attitude. I guess I'm used to the whip and now I just wince a little. I'm more than a little ashamed with myself for not correcting the Europeans I meet who mistake me for being Canadian because I am articulate, and do not fit their stereotype of "The Ugly American".
