Yeah I guess. There are certain negative stereotypes to aim at British people but in my experience I've never had any of these directed at me personally. The only infatuation seems to be the accent. People tend to be very vocal about Americans, even face to face. I've never experienced that.

I don't think it's annoying at all, it's annoying when people say that I'm saying things wrong, but it's not annoying when they're curious about the way I pronounce things.

It's annoying when you go on holiday and want to chill out, have a few drinks and everyone around you does something like this:
Them: Oooh. You talk funny. Say this...
Me: (Says it)
Them: (Laughs) Ok, say this...
Me: (Says it)
Them: (Laughs) Ok, now say this...
Me: Seriously?
