I would watch that, but, my wife tells me I should have a problem with an obnoxious foreigner who comes to America and make millions off of Americans by telling them what is wrong with America. So I'm not going to watch it!

That makes no sense…it’s often a foreigner that has the best perspective on a country

And needing foreigners to validate you as a society has always struck me as weak

A lot of the above is what I have experienced in my other country of Argentina more than in the US.

But it’s true John Oliver is just plain annoying so I wouldn’t watch it myself

She actually literally made that Oliver comment yesterday. I pointed out that she seems to like Trevor Noah, who basically does the same thing, and he's not obnoxious about it. of So maybe its like you say, the messenger who is egregious, not the message itself.

Doesn’t change anything…nobody wants to hear from someone they consider lucky to be American


Its kind of the equivalent of an American criticizing the US publicly while abroad

Same rule sort of extends to all first generation Americans

As a future expat, I take offense to this.

Trust me…when you hear what the natives say about America you will quickly learn to laugh it off, pity them and not engage……or you will move back to the US

When you start hearing people literally blaming all the world’s evils on the US you won’t want to join in

have a problem with an obnoxious foreigner who comes to America and make millions off of Americans by telling them what is wrong with America.

saying that foreigners who live in the US can't/shouldn't criticize the US is the stupidest, most jingistic argument ever.  it's a facile and infantile way to dismiss an opinion without having to actually come up with a counter-argument.  the day that that same foreigner says something in favor of their position, they'll be the first to elevate that argument as saying "see?  even the foreigners acknowledge this!!!"  (aside: jim jeffries' take on this).

You had me right up until you posted a Jim Jeffries link and lost me.

Well maybe the better idea is to not give a foreigner his own American tv show feautring commentary on America, thus giving his a louder voice than 99.99% of Americans.
