Because you didn't vote for bush? Haha, yeah like that would make a difference.
Shit, try getting spit on for being a yank when your from the south. For some reason people overseas don't understand that Yanks are from the north. Anyway, Happened to me my first day of high school in australia, dude rode by on his bike and said "piss off ya fuckin yank" and spit a hocker in my face.
I actually got spit on several times when I lived there by peolpe I had never met and had no beef with just because of my accent which honestly wasn't very strong at the time.
The most fucked up part was that I had never lived in the US at that point in my life so I was about as far from being a typical american as you could get. And this was back in the late 80s when Bush hadn't whipped his ass all over our image yet.
