Quarcoo - Many Americans' beliefs are based on their appalling ignorance of anything outside their national boundaries. A while back in the UK we had a programme on TV in which a visiting American teenager stated that she wouldn't eat our disgusting food because "Can you believe it, they eat chipmunks for breakfast". Apart from the fact that there are no chipmunks in the UK, it's a total fallacy. And that from a member of the nation which inflicted MacDonalds and Burger King on the world.

And for the record, I don't see any point in this 'apology'. The most sincere form of apology is not to grovel in chains, it's to make sure that all slavery is ended and never happens again. Now THAT's an apology.
