Reader comment on item: America the Unpopular
Submitted by Stephen Berman (United States), Nov 5, 2003 at 17:39
It has been well documented that Europeans have considered American's uncultured and inferior, since the 1600's. And rightly so. We are indeed descended from the poorest and least educated masses of Europe. How insulting that we are now a superpower! It's simply in bad taste!Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
