Short answer: egoism.

Less short answer:
Americans are conditioned to think they are special and superior. They take any intellectual challenge as a personal attack that they must crush instead of opportunity to learn and improve. American culture is heavily conservative and religious (directly and indirectly). College teaches students to think beyond "do what I say otherwise this god I have no evidence for will smite you." The Americans who think they are super special and that "their way of life" is above challenge take offense to that and turn to hating everyone they believe is responsible for it. When their "way of life" is challenged, its a blow to their egos.
