The fact that the Europeans are assumed to be American based on rowdy, drunken, obnoxious behavior is telling. Quick assumptions say a lot about one’s cultural cache. For instance, I assume anyone with a backwards fitted ball cap pulled down over their eyebrows is a jerk. They could be Canadian posers for all I know!
