Hip Hop 'culture'. That's it. That's the one thing I truly and utterly despise America for.
America's other principal perceived vices (hamburgers and hot dogs, latent imperialism, saccharine empathy, religious conservatism etc) are a product primarily of its German heritage (specifically) and the general ideal of Euro-Westernism, so I can't divorce myself from that too much and blame The Evil Yankee.
Although - it is fun for us 2nd tier Euros :)
(ps. American Idol is another sordid British-invention that you Yanks get the blame for - just like the Middle East crisis and chips)

Who's racist now?
Not me, I think...Nairn - lol, I guess my defensiveness makes me racist? This is like guilt pin-pong, heh.
(omg, ping pong - anti-asian!)Nairn - it was just a poor choice of words, that's all.DrBombay
