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 and Daisy Dukes (jean shorts), but a few just had bikini bottoms.
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 a mural of ugly stereotypes is, well, kinda racist / xenophobic.
I love that your keep trying to conflate culture and race in the context of a meme about common US themes. It’s like you don’t understand the difference between racist tropes used to further oppression and mocking pop culture references.

The artist is American, for one.
I really don’t that that gives it a pass, TBH.
God, I better not ever make jokes about the absurdity of living here, lest I be seen as problematic against my own country.
Welcome to
North KoreaAmerica.Shut up nerd, go worry about a real problem.
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.

Well, no, my family tree isn’t a circle

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.
