Y’all know we have other cheeses in the states too, right?
Imagine if a chinese company made its own shitty version of tofu, and named it “chinese tofu,” and then someone somewhere else concluded that all tofu in China was this shitty kind. That would be the same kind of fallacious assumption as what’s going on here.
“American cheese” is more like a product category than a description of any cheese produced in America.
Just like “Canadian bacon” refers to a specific cut/style of bacon, despite most of the bacon I (a Canadian) have eaten is the kind most probably think about when they think “bacon”.
I don’t think I’ve ever had French toast from France, or Italian sausage from Italy.
And if someone didn’t like Canadian bacon (can’t really blame them; don’t hate it but don’t love it either) and concluded that all bacon produced in Canada was shitty, I can’t say that I would care one way or another. Nationalistic pride never made sense to me. I don’t make Canadian bacon or other bacon. That’s Jim down the road (though don’t tell him I don’t love Canadian bacon).
