<p>I agree with Wikipedia that ethnocentrism is “the tendency to look at the world primarily from the perspective of one’s own culture.” Agreeing with the phrase “God bless America” certainly fits this definition. Whether you realize it or not, your perspective on the world is colored by your being part of a given culture. The phrase has deeply embedded cultural meanings. However, it’s not up to me to decide whether your passive acceptance of this cultural bias is appropriate or not. Also, some of you could’ve just said “Well, because I’m proud to be American!” instead of losing your composure.</p>
<p>However, to settle this, I asked God to bless America, and he said no. So there you go… No need to say it anymore, k? thanx.</p>
<p>I’m perplexed and amused at the same time that grown adults would roll on the foor laughing their asses off.</p>
