I lived in Japan for 11 years, working as a network/qa engineer for Reuters. Non-British gaijins congregated at one particular table in the lunch room. I was welcome at the table because everyone knew I wasn't British since 'bullocks' was not in my vocabulary. They were just as certain that I was Canadian because I had a beard and was too quite to be an American. So I got to hear many extremely derogatory remarks about the British (to which I eagerly contributed) and Americans (of which I quietly noted). And this was during the Clinton era.
Q: How many Americans does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None because the market will take care of it.
