A better term here would be cultural imperialism - which is exactly what "Americentrism" itself is an example of: > ... so influential has been the discourse insisting on American specialness, altruism and opportunity, that imperialism in the United States as a word or ideology has turned up only rarely and recently in accounts of the United States culture, politics and history. But the connection between imperial politics and culture in North America, and in particular in the United States, is astonishingly direct[0] "Americentrism" sounds like a term made up by those who recognize this phenomenon from the perspective of people who hold it to be true and can't see the irony in the word itself.
