I think OP mentioned “a generation of Americans” because that’s the example they thought of, not because they think being American made the people exceptional.

You’re not wrong though - a lot of Americans definitely seem to think that just “being American” is some kind of accomplishment in and of itself. Meritless jingoism is intense here.

But I don’t see it being related to the previous comment.
