What is un-American? Is it difficult to define? Who gets to decide what un-American is?

What is un-American? Really. Us "Americans" might say that cannibalism, terrorism, and arrange marriages aren't part of our culture, but what is AMERICAN culture? America doesn't have its own beliefs because it is made up of all different types of them. Domestic and foreign. So, to answer the core of the question, there is pretty much nothing that is un-American except cannibalism and arranged marriages. We terrorize other countries to get what we want and WE do not mind our own business.

It IS difficult to define what is un-American. Everything that we consider not part of our culture is pretty much a contradiction.

Who decides this? The people deicide this. We sterio-type every single thing that we see un-fit. We ourselves are hypocrites. We can't even look at ourselves before we look at others. I guess thats the "American" in all of our hearts. Consider who we are first.
