What I am doing here is battling stereotypes. Nothing against Americans or anyone else here. It is the media that exaggerates stuff as they have to sell something. We just have to be wise enough to not believe everything shown on media. There is always more to it than that meets the eye.

Yes! This! When I read articles saying that half a billion people shit on streets every single day in India I question the sanity of the people who came up with these numbers as well as the sanity of those who believe such nonsense. Half a billion people shitting every single day, on the streets, is a whole lot of poop. I mean... whatever happened to common sense?
The media definitely has a giant effect, I agree. Maybe some Americans believe what they hear about more deeply than others. But all of us are talking about it, so clearly the media has to have at least some effect in structuring this biased conversation.
Funnily enough, the same media outlets who talk about shitting in the streets in India say the same thing about San Francisco, like, really often. It's a trope that must have been proven by some analytics platform to get a lot of clicks. So the content writers are instructed to juice this topic for all its worth. Craziness
