British person: America is so horrible! You Americans really have no idea how bad it is! At least our schools don’t get shot up and we don’t get put into debt for breaking a bone!!
American: We don’t need you- an outsider to explain to us how bad we got it. We have actual lived experiences here and are well aware of the problems we face. Americans are not stupid, but many of us are victims of the system. You aren’t even from the US, what makes you think you know more than us? You’re just Non-Americansplaining.
(There could probably be a better word than “Non-Americansplaining” but you get the point)
