But British people get so angry about it! If one of my bros got that angry about the one time in college that he got a bad haircut, you'd better believe we would be mentioning it at his funeral and cracking up.

Partly of the reason people get very annoyed is that the way Americans discuss this (accidentally) echos the way the far right here talks about immigration (eg arguing that immigrant communities aren’t/can’t be British, that only things eaten in the 1940s count as British food etc)

The other thing is that a lot of it seems to derive from stereotypes that (to the extent they have a founding in reality at all) mostly date from when GIs were here in WWII and we are a much much better fed and much less white country than we were in 1944, for obvious reasons.
