Yes they're lacking in culture. :P

- lloeki 8y ago> they think whatever they're doing must be "the best", irregardless of what <others> think The word that comes to my mind is "arrogance". Is there a better fitting word? (Honest question, not a native speaker)

- afroisalreadyin 8y agoI think the proper academic term for it is "American exceptionalism"
- kmano8 8y agoEven American chauvinism.
