While you're busy speaking for me and all other people outside the USA...
Please stop that. This European-born white male thinks that your video was:
- An untrue, unfair broad generalization
- A mistake where you make an attack on the American population when your
problem is with the American government (a common mistake, but sad none
the less). Those of us who have been fortunate enough to visit the US on
one or more occasions know that not every American hates the French and
drives around with a shotgun in the backseat (although I've met one of
those).
So please stop pretending that what you're saying is true, and stop
pretending that you're speaking for the world when you're only speaking
for the prejudice of Paul Knight and Paul Reynolds. Criticise the American
government if you disagree with it - I disagree with most of its policies,
and I'm not afraid to say so - but don't equate criticism of the
government with criticism of the population.
