Is "the Boorish American" a stock character in British/European film?

Which the US (as well as Britain) only did because Japan was in the middle of conquering China.

Not involved in a debate on either side, just sayin’.

I’m aware of that. I’m just pointing out that the US wasn’t entirely blameless in the circumstances leading up to WWII, and the “We saved your asses in WWII!” argument often overlooks that.
