Actually, it's been my experience that both halves of my heritage
(British,
American) can be extremely pig-headed when it comes to National matters.
(When I say "British," in particular I mean the English). So whenever a
thread like this starts anywhere, I always just sigh, and try to ride it
out, defending both sides where necessary, chiding both where
appropriate.

Given the likes of the French, the Germans, et al, I'd go out on a limb
and
call it a human trait, rather than an Anglo one.

As I said, I dislike the Ogre backgrond just as much as the FT one.
Perhaps
that's why "Star Trek" was so successful - it avoided much of the
nit-picky
side of "near future" history...uh...until "First Contact," that is...
