Oh but there is. It's not a reasonable reason or a rational one, but there is one.
It's the same reason the stereotype of the stupid American holds so strongly in the rest of the world; the reason is "It's all about me and what I'm comfortable with and the idea of something or someone being different terrifies me to an irrational extent and I want a neighorhood, city, state, nation of bland homogenous shit that is just like me."
The reason is selfish, introverted, bigoted, ignorant, apathetic narcissism. Because that is what America is. That is why we let corporations walk all over us while we worship them for being "job creators" who do everything in their power to maximize their profits no matter who they run over or how many people they step all over in their drive to satiate the stockholders by focusing blindly on the next quarterly report.
We're a nation of greedy assholes, looking out for number one and saying "to hell with everyone else! United we stand but only if we unify everyone by making everyone the exact fucking same as us!" We're a nation of smug, self-righteous pricks and cunts who spend hours and billions watching sports games and drinking and pursuing almost nothing but self-indulgence but we won't spend a fucking hour a week paying attention to or giving a shit about the political decisions that affect not just us but hundreds of millions of others not just at home but abroad as well. Why? Because we just don't fucking care. "We're the best nation in the world! Go America!"
FUCKING SHIT I HATE THIS FUCKING COUNTRY THESE DAYS. D8<
