I immediately feel resentment towards this style of nationalist defensiveness.
Firstly, this is cognitively dissonant because Americans are people so you ought to say "Americans are not the only contributors to this problem".
But more-so because this is a truism that will deflect attention to a rabbit-hole that is not so useful.
