This is a byproduct of the world being so far away for so long. The distance had an impact in both directions. I ran into people from other countries making ridiculous generalizations about the US when I first stepped on to the Internet in the '90s.
Now I know hundreds of people from other countries, and there's very little generalizing going on in either direction. But this is mostly people in their 20s and 30s, not people who grew up without a direct link to the world.
