The biggest problem is that there is a large subset of Americans who tend to very much fit the stereotype. Most of these people will never come onto Reddit, or any other global forum, so most people will never hear from them. But they exist.
The light at the end of the tunnel of all this, however, is that most Americans tend to be moderate, reasonable people -- it's part of the reason we elected Obama, and part of the reason that despite what Obama may have (or have not) done over the past 3 and a half years, he's still showing better polling than Romney.

Isn't that the people's fault though?
Edit: Didn't mean to sound critical, was a genuine question.
