Actually, I do generalize, as do all others. There is no other way to talk about nations of tens or hundreds of millions of people. Generally speaking, I think most people think that Americans, as a whole, are different than Saudis who are different than Japanese who are different from the Turks who are different from the Germans....

If it weren't so, the following joke wouldn't be funny:

Heaven Is Where:

The French are the chefs
The Italians are the lovers
The British are the police
The Germans are the mechanics
And the Swiss make everything run on time

Hell is Where:

The British are the chefs
The Swiss are the lovers
The French are the mechanics
The Italians make everything run on time
And the Germans are the police
