Would this comment be considered racist by your interpretation? PsycNet just claimed moral superiority using prejudices of an entire nation to back his point.
The context I took from this quote is "that argument is dumb, that is something an American would argue."
America being the nationality
American's are dumb with dumb arguments - the prejudice
Just curious on your take.
Thanks again

Generalizing and espousing negative stereotypes of the US and its citizens is something I have complained about before on CP. For me, it's not the hill I am going to die on since ultimately it says more about the speaker or writer than it does about the people they believe they understand.
Now I'm not sure what your point is more broadly, just pointing out that "anti-American" seems to be a pretty safe space here.
