    Correct. I think the entire premise that an American would question this idea is an indication that the meme was made by somebody from a country with one of these pins in it.

    Don’t get me wrong, I’m not defending this mindset. I am myself an American making this observation with a sense of shame and mild horror.

      Yeah, I abolutely agree. In American culture, this is treated more like a natural law, like the Sun rising each day or objects falling down when dropped. It is just something self-evident and isn’t even a thought that occurs in most American’s heads.

      Going by experience here, the American WILL question this idea the very seconds the foreign has a diverging opinion or calls them out on something.
