Americanizing

AKA Westernized. What certian animation companies do by getting the broadcasting rights for Japanese Anime or any other non English speaking animated series by (a) Changing certain characters so in wouldn't offend veiwers ,
(b)changing the entire storyline by Americanizing or Westernizing it including references to local food,culture, or language (c) Elimiating all or most of the original signs or other aspects of the animation's "home language" or replacing it with garbled translations,(e) changing the original score with a very shoddy music score that is not worth listening to, (g) changing character name from there oringinal language to more americanized or westernized versions (i.e. Hiroshi= Henry) & (g) taking out or severing certain scenes that might frighten or "traumatize" younger viewers or no showing or banning the episode all together due to the contents that the episode has.
4kids Entertainment, & the now defuncted DiC productions & Saban Entertainment were well known of Americanizing such shows as One Piece, Sailor Moon, Maple Town, Samurai Pizza Cats, Hallo Spencer, Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, & many others.

Americans

The people of the greatest nation in the world. We respect other cultures, and are tolerant, unlike European people who stereotype us as fat and lazy. FYI, everyone in America doesn't like McDonalds... in fact many of us don't... and by the way there is McDonalds EVERYWHERE!!

George W. Bush is in no way an example of a "typical" American. In reality, there are no "typical" Americans... We are a melting pot of many cultures.

So before you diss the Americans, think of this.

OUR ANCESTORS ARE ITALIAN, SPANISH, GERMAN, FRENCH, SWISS, GREEK, etc. So yeah keep insulting yourselves =D
*German guy*: Americans are fat and dumb.
*American w/ German ancestry*:Yeah dude, our ancestors were cousins. Think it through

American

Any person from the Americas but usually means someone from the U.S.
Contrary to the popular opinion of other countries (France,England, ect.) we are not all fat, stupid, arrogant, and violent. We still have the leading education system in the world, we are well aware that 1/3 of the world hates us and are not war mongers. If people want to criticize us for stereo typing they should at least avoid using stereo types in their argument. True we do have a obesity problem because of a high fat diet with little exercise to compensate. This is mostly because are nation is spread out across a vast distance and drive everywhere because of that.We are not violent rednecks our country has only fought wars when we believed necessary for the security of our citizens. Which if you look at the middle east and Europe where pretty calm. Also most of you owe your freedom to the U.S. for saving you in world war 2. So next time you say Americans are stupid, dum, violent, and arrogant remember we are leading in education, we saved many countries from being taken over by Nazi Germany. Also we are not all monolingual, all states now require 2 years of the same language to graduate and unlike other countries that require you to learn the native language before getting citizen ship the U.S. does not, in fact we don't even have an official language.

P.S. it's not arrogant to defend you country from slander.
Ese americano es muy amable, inteligente y tiene un excelente español.
For those you who aren't Bilingual maybe you should quit mocking the U.S. and learn some Spanish so you can translate that.

American

The easiest and quickest excuse to get a Polish girlfriend. If you say that you're an American and she's free (single), Polish girl will be extremely friendly. Remember to talk in an American accent, and perfect it.

Polish girls cannot understand the fact that some American men are poor. They will always think American men are rich and smart. You can't convince them otherwise. In a weird, autistic way. (lol) They are so naive they consider alcoholism and fat American men to be a sign of "manliness". (A product of their isolation from Western society.)
Canadian guy: How do I get with an extremely good Trophy girl?

Englishman: Just talk to a Polish girl and fake that you're an American. Talk with an American accent. She'll think you're rich as shite.

Americans

Brainless creatures claiming to be superior to so called ''Bri'ish'' citizens. Their IQ, averaging 2, lets them be compared to twitter users: both absolutely stupid. The degenerates often mock the British, saying things like 'Want a bo'o'woa?' and pretending to be 'chavs' or 'roadmen'. Not only are their imitations horrible, but their accents are shit, deeming their act stupid and unfunny. If you want to laugh at someone, please, I beg, make it funny- or at least entertaining. There are a few different species of Americans, so far a few have been discovered: The Karens, The Edgy Teenagers, The so called 'Bullies', The pick-me girls, The VSCO girls, and of course, Charli D'amelio (Any females dancing on tiktok are classified under this category). Now, I don't know why Americans are so happy about their 'McDonald's' and 'KFC' if they lack Greggs and have probably never had a good roast dinner or a good cuppa. In conclusion, I guess that Americans are British People are comparable: maybe even similar, American's just have considerably bigger egos. (jk Americans can be decent but if you commonly practise tiktok dances i am scared of you)
''Oh shit the Americans are cancelling me on twitter.''
''Fuck Americans.''
