What's on your mug?

Human beings who laugh, cry, create. They are just as capable and have just as much potential and soul as anyone else. They have families, they have lives, they have homes, they have worries, they have emotions. Human beings who are just like anybody else but who are largely discriminated against solely because they are from the United States. Being an American is not easy and it most certainly is not always fun. People who think they are nationalistic don't understand that they need to be patriotic now more than ever, because it's what keeps their spirits up and gives them hope.

"All Americans are stupid, stubborn, obese, arrogant, and think they're awesome because they're from America. Americans are all a bunch of jerks." "Wow, you sound like a self-centered, ignorant fuck who has no idea what he/she is talking about."

(synonym: Yankees) Mostly people who live in the USA are called Americans. People in other countries like to call them fat and stupid which is the common stereotype. Americans think of themselves as free and rich.

When you think of americans the first thing that comes to mind is big fat people sitting on the terrace of McDonald's stuffing themselves.

Since I'm American, I'm going to tell you that an American is a person who lives in America. You can't say that 300,000,000 people (and counting) are all fat, ignorant, car-obsessed, self-obsessed slobs. There are some people like that, yes, but those people are usually either given a poorly-rated "reality" show or have the shit kicked out of them.

Me: So which presidential candidate do you think will do the best job? Some idiot: Well, I'm not registered to vote so I don't really care and I don't know the issues. Me: Maybe you should go on the "Flavor of Love"! Me: Hey! Let's ride around town in a shopping cart! My Friend: Yeah! That sounds fun! Stereotype: Well, you guys have fun. I'm too fat to fit in a shopping cart and too lazy to push one. I'm going to find a Big Mac and maybe piss off some people on the internet so they'll hate Americans. Me: ...Dude...

By my name is Be but that is taken

Seriously, people of non-american heritage we're not all like that. Many of us actually hate our president and wish he'd walk into oncoming traffic. WE also believe that this war with Iraq is pointless and want to put a stop to it. Also, most of the people I grew up with only ate shitty McDonald's because our parents were too poor to buy both good food AND the drugs of their choice. I hope someday that American POLITICS and some whacked-out-crazy assholes will realize that America isn't the best country in the world. Someday, I'll leave America to travel to the most beautiful and interesting countries and I hope that I won't be hated (or loved, eek!) for being American.

non-american: Stupid Americans! me: W-why? *commence sadness and possible crying* Why can't we all just get along! Eek! Don't hate me! I'm nice, really! I like kitties... and skittles.... I always try to remember to turn off the lights when I'm not using it and I hate littering and... um, DON'T HATE ME!!! Please.

People from America that are generally well-liked, easy going, and sometimes crazy (in a good way). Americans have the large scale on personality due to its diversity of culture and race in its population. On one hand, you have gays and lesbians participating in a gay pride parade, on the other, gays are being killed by others upon discovering their orientation. On one hand, you have "prides" (Black Pride), on the other, you have extreme-ists (KKK). One one hand, you have amazing college professors, on the other, you have the fat american kid that doesn't know shit. Stereotypes: -Americans are fat; Yeah, some are really fatasses, but many are really fit. -American kids are rich and spoiled; Yeah, those that are expats in international schools and those in public schools can be real brats. But you probably are too, if you're encountering them and not the better ones. -Americans are racist; Yeah, those trolls you see online, that white kid that picks on minorities, etc really need to be ball-smacked. But those are usually ignorant people from ages 10-25. Young, stupid, unsophisticated. In general, they're pretty nice people. Respectable and reasonable, only a small percentage of the American population are douchebags. This is not written by an american.

You racist shitfuckers at my school deserve to be castrated. I should have given that Americans who found my wallet my week's pay.
