Yeah, you're probably right. My reaction to some of the characters there are probably similar to inhabitants of the world's vision of the average U.S. citizen. In both cases they are over generalizations and stereotypes. But stereotypes that persist do so because of the hint of truth.

I probably overreacted but I ended up with a visceral hate for the attitudes of a few of those people in the film - and they weren't all Americans. So much for stereotypes. Its just scary to me to think of people like that growing up to be adults with real power - and they will unfortunately.
