Also, American culture is more than simply descendant of British culture. It would be logical if Canadians and Australians were also offended by such a statement, as though they have not progressed since they were colonized (though could be moreso for the US; the United States actually broke away from British rule).

Why should they be offended? They aren't descendents of German or Italian or Jewish culture. Australia is almost a carbon copy of Britain. There isn't too much seperating the people's of both countries. Hell, they even play the same sports.
'Progressed since colonisation'? You saying British culture is in the dark ages and it's a bad thing if you don't 'progress' from it?
What a muppet. Sheesh.
