Or, you’re an American who lives in a country/continent where there are a wide variety of people outside of your little bubble who have different backgrounds and different cultural norms that you’ve very likely never considered.

Good thing you explained what you were going for because it was kind of hard to follow.

You made an assertion about all americans:

like (as an American) we’ll just do this

and someone wished to dispute it based on their own experience.

You described a behaviour as gross and indicate that it is common in your social circles. How is it demeaning to says that your social circles are gross? @htrayl is agreeing with you
