the truth 02-02-2015 09:47 PM

its just pitiful bigotry

rusticgal 02-02-2015 09:49 PM

Listen... I love the Americans, like all nationalities we all have different characteristics both in looks and behaviour. In my job I deal with ALL nationalities, some don't say please or thank you...some never smile, some are more demanding than others...some are more laid back than others...its a cultural thing. Americans do not get our sense of humour and equally we don't get theirs.... It's not being disrespectful..it's being honest.

Jack_ 02-02-2015 09:52 PM

As I said earlier replace the nationality with Indian and we'd have had another race row

What a desperate chump that Michelle must be to sit by and allow Hopkins to speak disrespectfully about her nation. Hopkins should be the next one voted out the CBB house to the biggest Boooooo's in BB history.

The Sun must be very desperate to pay her to insult their clients on a daily basis.

I disagree... But then I disagree about the over reaction to a lot of things that are seen as being 'racial' and bigoted. We are all different in our cultures and people should be able to recognise that and accept it so long as it isn't portrayed as being 'wrong' and not stated in a detrimental way.
When KH says something like...well they are American...at first you think Oh she can't say that...but then why cant she?... Americans have their ways as the British have theirs etc etc...its culture..it's different nationalities with different characteristics...

that's your opinion I think its a bigoted one

:shrug: comedians have said for years that the comedy doesn't travel well over the pond.

I think if is different for comedy drama, plenty of successful shows over the years.

Take a look at my edit! :hehe:

We all need to be more tolerant. Thanks for loving Americans, they are nice people too - many are descended from British ancestors and share our language and culture. Americans have a fabulous sense of humour that's why we import
American movies and commedians. :wavey:

I totally agree. We do need to be tolerant but being honest about other nationalities traits and behaviour is not being disrespectful.
It upsets me that someone perceives my views as bigoted. I respect and tolerate differences in cultures, I have spent all of my working life amoungst people from all over the world...which is why I recognise how very different we all are from nationalities and even regions of our own country. People need to not get over sensitive about it...

its not honest its dishonest and it is bigotry....90% of the funniest comedians and funny shows and funny movies and funny actors come from America so for a bigot like bully Hopkins to endlessly slag all americans as lacking humour and irony is a lie a bigoted lie plain and simple

I don't think she slagged off Americans as 'lacking in humour'...she insinuates 'they don't get our humour'. If I have got that wrong then I don't and won't defend her.
I have joked with Americans and they laugh at my 'dry' humour once the penny has dropped. Take for example 'the Office'..I love that programme, but not every one does, everyone has there own humour. When the Americans created their own version I found it predictable and unfunny. The only American humour I have found brilliant is Friends..which I love more than the Office. Each to their own, we all have different takes on it. Please don't call me a bigot. It's your opinion that you think 90 per cent of movies etc from America provide us with the most humour...that's your opinion but not mine but that doesn't make me a bigot.

americans LOVE british humor, which is why they've aired old monty python reruns for years, benny hill, fawty towers, plus the original office etc we like some Canadian humor too thanks to classic SCTV but you guys are up there :thumbs:

sodak22 03-02-2015 12:21 AM

Katie H only slags off Americans in reference to Perez tbf. Perez epitomizes the self-loving nature and OTT-ness she relates to Americans (not fair to any nationality IMO, but everyone gets generalized). Does/did Katie H have a problem with Cami, Michelle, Jeremy, Alex, or Callum? I enjoy many Brit shows and many American shows, some are my sense of humor and some are not. We are all very diverse and to generalize about a generalization is wrong as well.......... Irony.

I know right? I can't believe that Michelle just sat there like a ****ing moron and let her say that stuff about her nationality. Michelle is such a massive disappointment

It's well known they don't get our humour,it's just jumped on because KH said it and it's fine apparently for Perez to diss the Brits all the time,and tell us to "suck his dick"

What exactly don't Americans "get" about British humour? It's a stereotype and an untrue one imo

poppsywoppsy 03-02-2015 09:49 AM

There are very few American programmes which emulate our sense of humour, I think the Golden Girls and Frazier were the most popular and they were huge both sides of the Atlantic.

The American humour is prevalent in the Simpsons and Friends.

Some can cross the divide, mostly they don't.
