I would think that stereotyping Americans would be a difficult thing to do,
considering the diversity of our population. I wonder if there are more
people of Arab decent in the US than there are in some of the Arab
countries.
We may even have more Jews than Israel, for all I know. This is a big
country.
I'll bet you could find someone in America of any persuasion you could ask
for.
I can't see how attempting to stereotype Americans would have any value,
unless
you were a terrorist or a comedian :-)
