  God, I better not ever make jokes about the absurdity of living here, lest I be seen as problematic against my own country.

  Everything in the comic is accurate.

    Maybe it's my inner straight male talking, but I don't see nearly enough girls in American flag bikinis and cowboy hats in this country.

    I once went to Texas and got complimented on my sombrero, though.

      They’re out there, but they… don’t look like that.

      I'm guessing you don't go to many country music festivals.

      I had to work one back in the early 2000s and we started counting US flag to traitor flag bikinis and it was about a 3:1 ratio. Most of them were wearing cowboy hats.

    Not saying any of it isn’t accurate for a portion of the population. But it doesn’t apply to everyone (we’re not a monoculture / planet of hats), and to paint 347,628,682 people with an ugly stereotype is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.

      Who said it applied to every single American?

        That’s like asking if every racist joke should be applied to everyone of that race. That’s kind of how stereotype-based “humor” works.
