I as a German boy couldn't agree more! It's the same when Asian and other continent's tourists pretend to be native Germans wearing Lederhosen and checkered shirts and/or drinking seas of beer while walking on the streets, randomly asking at what time we're planning to launch WW3.
I feel your - as a dedicated U.S. resident - uneasiness, in view of the multiple cultures, ways of life and various beauty your country has to offer for the ones who can see. Unfortunately even the local media of our nations are forwarding those silly stereotypes.
Let's close our eyes and ears to this and open them for the sport itself!
