Have you met any Europeans?
Italians are convinced that Italy is the center of the world, with the best food, home of Rome, etc.
French are convinced that France is the center of the world, with the best food, home of Democracy, etc.
The British are convinced that Britain is the center of the world...although maybe not so convinced of the food :-P.
Germans, same thing.
Portugese same thing, but it's the "secret" version of Spain with better wine, better food, better beaches, etc.
Everybody has national pride. That's a good thing. You should be proud of the place where you live because it means you'll take care of it and wont' trash it.

Maybe it's partly that I can't imagine finding (or any other British/western European person finding) this a source of national pride to begin with, but even when it's something we do.. I just can't see non-Americans talking like that. It's not really a problem, just surprised me.
- bandyaboot 3y agoWhile most of it is probably sincere, it's also important to keep in mind that some people do the "overly patriot American" as a joke.
