Default Would it be fair to say. . . . . .

. . . . . . that the world is vindicated in disliking you?

At least disliking the way you portray yourselves as insular and lacking any real knowledge of the world outside of the U.S?

What do you mean by 'you and yourselves'? This is a British Expats website and most of us are Brits.

Default Re: Would it be fair to say. . . . . .

During your cumulative year in the US, were you "insular and lacking any real knowledge of the world "?

Since you are addressing this question to mainly Brits in the US, one can only assume when you were a Brit in the US...

Re-read the post.

Unfortuntely it is near where I used to live (North West England about, 20 minutes outside of Manchester) and such a question is typical of the crust munchers, devoid of all intelligence and purpose, much like themselves.
