Depends if it's true. Is he/she American?
Is he/she an idiot?

I think as America is a multi racial country its confusing but definetly xenophobic, if not racist

It pisses me off a bit cause if you were saying it about any other country, BB would probably call you in and give you a warning, when did the USA become the only Country that's fair game?

Yes but why does he have to mention the fact he is American? It's irrelevant.

No more than calling Americans brash. me calling my Scottish wife's brother in law a tight wad or him calling me an English plonker. All in jest and i just don't let it bother me.

Some will call it stereotyping others will go further. meh.

TBH we all mess about like this with our friends.. regardless what nationality or race etc ...Its nothing new and it is common knowledge.. cos we all do it, if we could not get away with it.. then they would not be friends.. But these people are NOT friends..and on this particular occasion, ken was not jesting.. KEN screamed that out in anger.. which suggests to me he has a problem with Perez being American or Americans in general.
