Yes and it is on the US citizens to correct the narrative. Being angry at international opinions that are gaining traction is (and I use this word seriously) stupid. I also wonder what chinese citizens have to say about western generalization of their social identity, or afghan social identity for that matter.
Except when it’s used to shutdown any and all discussion or criticisms. Generalizations don’t bring understanding, just division and outright hypocrisy.
Dude, the “they’re murderers and rapists” guy is president again. Begging for other countries to take a nuanced view of American politics when we elected such a generalizing, stereotyping blockhead multiple times to the highest office in the land – while simultaneously making that office more powerful – is a bit ridiculous.
No, it’s not. The reason is the same one we have such issues with conservatives and similar who generalize. It’s not constructive to have highly generalized views and try to change something. It’s a crutch to just ignore something which again, leads to the predicament we’re in. If a person shows a trend for doing that then they’re also going to be misinformed. Asking people to be better and understand others is NOT a huge ask.

Apparently it is, because we can’t get people to do this in our own country, and those who aren’t trying to “be best” and don’t “understand others” are elected to office over and over again.
Your take is like “not all men” but for Americans, and look man, I’m an American and I’m not offended by the characterization that we haven’t really done shit about this administration. We haven’t.
