Also, please include any stereotypes you had about Americans and whether debating with them has reinforced or destroyed those stereotypes.
Also, what has surprised you the most when debating with Americans?

Thanks
I used to think Americans are honest, hard workers and religious in majority, who are good at making movies and music. I still think they are all those, but the thing that surprised was when I was judged several timas as an enemy without considering anything else than my nationality many times here.
the other things that bothers me is the reasons of Americans disagreement with war, which is most of the time the increasing taxes, not the lives that it takes and if ever talked about, mostly would be American soldiers only, and in some case I was shocked when killed gay-soldiers and their families had disturbing comments about how god did not love them because they were not straight.
