# I'm afraid it is a Yank bashing compo
and the entries reflect it.

I'm disgusted.

# It's not supposed to be.
It's supposed to be something that makes America look good.
Like this picture wot I made

# Yeah (nice picture).
But 99% of people on B3ta hate America and Americans -- so the actual outcome will be different.

# They don't hate them,
it's just someone else to pick on. I've found most of the entries amusing, ignored a lot of the blatant hate ones, but this picture up there is just plain wrong which is why I said something.

# I really have to disagree.
Many many people here may hate the current American government, but that's not the same as hating american people. Furthermore, most of what I've seen posted is poking fun at americans not hating them.
I agree that some do take it a bit far, and that some American viewers could be upset.

# I think it goes a bit deeper than "poking fun".
Would you "poke fun" at black people in the same way? I suspect not.

# That's true,
but America as a country is not the same thing as black people, who have suffered hundreds of years of oppression.

# Every compo
is a 'something' bashing effort, just look at the church one. I'm sure many of the entries would have offended the Christian comunity. If you're the sensitive type b3ta isn't really the place for you.
