You must be incredibly proud of yourself. You are certainly no American slob. One can only assume that you have a masterful knowledge of all major cultures. The small mindedness of Americans never ceases to amaze me. I bet everyone in Singapore is well acquainted with Fawlty towers. I couldn't imagine anyone in Tokyo not knowing about the recent bollywood releases. It would just be uncivilized... The purpose of culture is to aid in the communication between similar backgrounds.The world is shrinking (or backgrounds expanding) and culture is becoming an increasingly global matter. This does not, however, negate the fact that countries, and therefore cultures, are still very much isolated from each other. To say that america dosnt care about any other country is only true insofar as any other country is guilty of the same thing. The real reason why this stereotype is perpetuated is much more complicated than it just being true and im not really knowledgeable enough to discuss it.
