If I were to give you my theory, I suppose it'd be because Americans are used to growing up with most of the acclaimed comedians, tv shows, movies, cartoons, etc

That, and our accent allows us to easily put on various accents when cracking jokes - something uniquely american - thus it's easier for us to put a smile on people's faces

>White Americans have a gun ownership rate of 44%, well above blacks and hispanics and by far the highest rate in the developed world.

http://www.statisticbrain.com/gun-ownership-statistics-demographics/

If one simply looks at the white population of every nation, White Americans are arguably the most developed in the world (when a range of indicators are examined). This is all the more impressive because there are 200 MILLION of them and they are surrounded by 100 million non-whites dragging them down.

White Americans truly are the Master Race.

Even the British acknoledge American superiority.

I'd like to laugh at them, as I'm throwing a neighborhood party in my house, without worrying about noise complaints
