That's just a joke, don't sweat it. A recent script I am working on (a modern day hope & crosby movie) has a scene where our protangonists ride their camel past a terrorist camp, singing a song and acting pretty much like idiots.
Anyway, Osama and 2 cronies see them singing the film's closing tune, and Osama remarks, with subtitles to help us understand, "Americans!" exhales a disgusted Osama. His #1 crony resonds with "But they make great entertainers, though!" The third terrorist in the frame is reclining, reading The Daily Racing Form.
Is it anti american? Nah, not at all. Is it funny - well, you will have to decide, but everyone I have showed it to gets a laff from that one.

I agree...read what I wrote to Maceman. The comment came from a character(one of the sharks) with a lot of flaws. You could just as easily say that they were attempting to paint anti-Americans as reactionary fools based on who the comment came from.
