Yes, the yellow school buses are real. No, we don't ascribe a lot of significance to the red solo cups. We're more culturally diverse than Europeans think, but probably less than we believe. Peanut butter is delicious. Thanks to @minnieo@kbin.social for Kibby, and @euphoria@kbin.social for our logo.

Are there any misconceptions or stereotypes about Americans that you'd like to debunk? (media.kbin.social)

There are a lot of stereotypes about Americans, some very true, some very false. Curious about thoughts from other Americans

I suppose I dislike the stereotype that Americans are all overly patriotic and gun obsessed, that's a good chunk of Americans, but I'd like to think they are just a very loud minority who """"somehow"""" keep getting to make the laws unfortunately. Many of us are reasonable, many of us are anti-gun, many of us are certainly not patriotic, and most of us are not alt-right fuckfaces.
