Americentrism is a term referring to the ethnocentric and xenophobic practice of viewing the world from an explicitly American perspective, with an implied belief, either consciously or subconsciously, in the preeminence of American (and, more generally, of Western) culture.[1]
Among others, U.S. broadcasting networks[2] and U.S. celebrities such as Quentin Tarantino[3] have been accused of being Americentric.
