It’s really amusing how Americans do not cope with other countries having good things.

Even the tiniest things, like butter . One tiny tiny thing a country like Ireland does better, and it takes 5 minutes for an American to show up

“Yeah. Well….fuckin……butter ….we got butter, it’s great butter …i can’t tell the diference…..and like…. Fuckin yurop…..it’s like , all smug……..and anyway our beer is best”.”

The possibility that other people have nice things, triggers them so hard.

You misunderstood the situation. Imagine someone flew to Finland had a can of kalakukko then went off for the rest of their life that all of the EU has dog shit food and is a cultural hellhole.

Exactly. People aren't taking issue with the idea that their country's product compares poorly to another country's product, it's that some random person's random encounters are enough to make that judgement. Sweeping generalizations very often do more harm than good.

What's also amusing is how people sometimes understandably, but mistakenly, display the out-group homogeniety bias in their thinking and believe they're scoring a win in some national pride pissing contest they started themselves
