I don’t think that’s predjudice so much as ignorance of geography.
On Rio’s Copacabana Beach, Brazilians said it reinforced their belief that Americans frequently stereotype other countries.
“Americans are full of prejudices,” said Alessandra Teixeira, a 29-year old model.
I find it very amusing that a Brasilian makes a very broad comment on “Americans”, painting all 302 million of us (or however many there are now) as the same. Talk about your stereotype!
Yes, there are stupid and prejudiced Americans, as there are the same Brasilians, English, French, African, .

Anyone else seeing the irony in the single Brasilian quote about stereotypes coming from a hot 20-something model on a beach?
I agree with you totally about the stupidity around all the world, but doesn’t sound good when the press representative makes the quote.
