I'm an American. I've been to your country. I lived there for three years. I have (at last count) 57 German cousins, 10 sets of German Aunts and Uncles and one set of German Grandparents (now deceased). So believe me when I say this, for a German to complain that Americans are so full of ourselves is a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black.

As for "We are the World", that part is true. Name one country that has a more extensive cultural and racial mix than the US. If you do manage to come up with one it sure ain't gonna be Germany.
