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.

The difference of course between the undoubted freedom to make fun of Brits and Americans in our society and making fun or putting down immigrants or LGBT etc is no one is going to refuse to hire or rent an apartment or beat seven bells out of me as a Brit or an American due to some idiot thinking being a bigot is clearly ok if Cherry or some other media figure implies its ok to not like immigrants or some other marginalized group.
Technically none of it is ok but only one type of bigotry tends to cause harm.
