I agree with yours about many Americans. The antics and various habits of some influential or entertainment-based individuals are by no means typical of the general population, just as the same applies here.

Some years ago we were in Hawaii and found ourselves stranded at the far end of the island. Some US service men and their wives, they had 'borrowed' a base troop carrier, took us the full length of the island, miles out of their way. It was the most enjoyable trip ever, with much mutual mockery of national stereotypes. Their helpless laughter at my impersonation of John Wayne was a joy. Strangely, they were not impressed with my Tonto. We still correspond with two of them some 15 years later. It is a land of great pride let down by a few renegades.
