Well, I'm coming to the US in August and I will try and work out what this 'American' attitude is all about. I have plenty of American friends out here and I don't see it.

This by no means applies to all Americans, but here in Taiwan, I see a lot of Americans act pretty rudely, which is to say, they choose not to be polite. My foreign born Asian classmates, who have grown up in a somewhat "americanized" household tend to be more crass--make sweeping generalizations, disregard other people's space, and order the taiwanese natives around. It's kinda sad. Off topic, I know.
On the other hand, there are other Americans here who're pretty cool.
