1 Answer

Answer :

I have spoken to Australians before. They don’t think they are British. They think they are better than the British. The difference between all four nationalities are a general location and a passport. You cannot label a nationality with a generic different stereotype in terms of character, behaviour or attitude. Though Americans have a good long history of being ignorant of everything outside of their country.
