I don't think most people from other countries think most Americans are like that, but they tend to believe that (for some reason) there are far more uneducated and trashy people in the United States than there are in similarly developed nations. I think there is some truth to that, but I think this is caused by America being fairly unique in that it celebrates its trashy side; and this (of course) makes it higher profile and more acceptable than it is in other countries.
