I am not against your thinking of S'porean.
The reality is media has to be blamed for these terms, kiasu, kiasi.... They are making just a big hoo haa in news in Singapore.
In America, season sales, they are thousands queuing up for store to be opened but media does not use the word "Kiasu", the media will report a normal year end season celebration.
Media is a very power tools which can influence ppl thinking.

I guess you are referring to Thanksgiving Sales and Black Friday Sales in America...I was there last year end and had a chance to view how it was like...
I would say our " hello kitty" sale pale in comparison lol...
but in US its done in an orderly manner so I think that's why they didn use kiasi or kiasu...
