No, I haven't been here.
I don't think americans and anglo people are used to hearing the truth. They know deep down that they are ruddy, flappy eared, big nosed, disproportionate class-B and class-C whites, but having dominated the world through thievery for a long time, they just aren't used to actually being told the truth by other westerners.
Americans for example believe they are always "excused" when visiting foriegn countries without knowing how to behave, just because they are "after all the center of the world". British people have a similar view but seem to think it's them AND the americans together.
