My question is, why do many americans go over board and CLAIM their country is better than all the rest. I just believe it's a country like the rest. Not trying to be racist if it seems like that, but I REALLY can't stand people like this.

First, you really need to read this thread:

Second, no offense, but I think we are getting a lopsided view of things here. I bet the story your parents would tell has a very different nuance, with you being obsessed by all things Japanese and a loathing for America (as evidenced by your line "
all countries have their problems but IMHO I think that our country in these recent years has the most." It sounds to me like you are combining anti-American sentiments with a starry-eyed view of Japan, to a degree that your parents feel is unhealthy. Fact is, America IS one of the best nations on Earth (and there is no "American race"), and Japan is a great country too, but probably not how you picture it.
