NA bashing is getting annoying

For some reason, there are multiple instances, both in-game and on social media, where the NA region is continually looked down upon and in some cases, players from this particular server are harassed. People are called "muri%%%s", the usual stereotype of Americans being labeled as dumb, fat, and lazy, the list goes on.

I'm not keen on following results from the LCS and so I have no information regarding the performance of the US teams. A question arises: is this NA bashing the result of teams like CLG or TSM performing poorly on tournaments or is it yet another case of impotent downies parading their hill-billy mentality by cursing at the US?

Personally I've never experienced NA solo queue and have 0 interest in doing so. The stereotype, however, goes as follows: EU > NA, NA is trash. On a personal level, I believe insulting a nation based on the performance in a children's game is the lowest form of idiocy and am more than convinced that such trash-talkers (even if they are 12-year-olds) are useless human waste, high-school dropouts, or just frustrated virgins whose acne count outnumbers their active brain cells.

A following question arises: should those caught harassing NA (or any other region for that matter) be punished as if they were verbally harassing other players? Technically, saying "X region is trash" is basically saying all of the players there are trash and is actually verbal harassment on a global level. If this trend were to continue, I would personally hate to be associated with the EU region in any way, shape or form, seeing as how the European mentality in this game is that of a castrated chimpanzee with Down syndrome: getting sodomized by Korean teams - let's insult the country which gave us the free game in the first place.
