when an american says it, its not "stereotyping" to say that it was an "american answer" :rolleyes:
While technically true, it can still be stereotyping. If you identify as a male, I could say "a male response" to any comment you make, or if you identify as female, I could say "a female response". That absolutely is implicit stereotyping. You account shows you are from UK, so anyone could reply "a Brit answer" to anything you say, which narrowly interpreted means "a response by one Brit", but suggesting it's a response typical of all Brits.

Calling something an 'American answer' when it aligns with a well-known American cultural stance isn’t stereotyping, it’s observation. Stereotyping is when you assume something about someone before they say anything. This was literally an American making a comment that fit a broader pattern. If the shoe fits, it’s not a stereotype , it’s just accurate.

Differences in countries aside, emergency makeup is universal and some would argue much more important than tire pressure, a pen, or a chop stick. Perhaps it's for emergency eye liner or emergency lip liner ?

Incorrect on so many fronts. I'm Canadian and about as anti-gun as it gets.

At least a usecase that makes sense!
I never used the pen and the notebook I have in the glovebox. ?
