Likewise we have read American insults in return over the years, however, if you look at this 6 page thread, you'll find that 4 pages of it are Americans and Europeans alike completely dismissing the theory of the OP as either irrelevant or unlikely. Furthermore, the post that you resorted to using European stereotypes against did not even contain a directed insult against America as a whole, or indeed any stereotypes.
Besides, as I have stated before, America is the primary superpower at this time, you're going to be hated and loved equally by the world for your actions and beliefs, just as European nations were back when the US was in its infancy, you just have to develop a thick skin and ignore it, responding in kind is exactly what people want you to do, so they can just use it as an example of a 'typical overreacting American'.
If the internet had been around in 1840 then I dare say I would be fending insults and scrutiny from around the world too.
