Even when that distinction is made I still think Japan makes the top spot.
In fact I think straight up insults are rare. The thread MMM closed was mostly about the perception on Americans and their knowledge of the outside world in general.
He didn't try to clear up any misunderstandings or explain it, he just closed it.
Furthermore I think I have a more objective angle on it because I'm neither American nor Japanese.
Anyway, in answer to why I'm making a big deal out of this, the reason I was kinda pissed off was because I had typed out a lengthy reply to what I thought was a particular bigoted post by Sangetsu, and when I went to post it I couldn't.
