I'm American, from South America. I think maybe the post refers to the gringos :-)

🤔 I once called a pothole a 'Colombian speedbump' and my local relatives could not appreciate it. QED

Laughing about yourself (or your own country) is sadly not a skill everyone possesses. People who can are the best :D

Americans (and Canadians, we're not above this problem): "I hate our government! They lie about everything and have no regard for human rights or even basic integrety! But also I uncritically believe everything they say about other countries that they already hate and have a massive political and economic incentive to smear because their governments are obviously way worse, I know that because my government told me so."

As long as your country has no oil, you can insult them without fear of retribution

I call BS. I feel it's more popular than ever to dunk on the US. Like, there's still a sect of 'MURICAN PATURYOTS that get big mad, but most of us are well aware of reality.

For the richest country on Earth we’re a touch sensitive.
