Pretty much. More specifically, I was making fun of this (seemingly America and possibly Canada only) notion that the best way to get things done, instead of respectful dialogue or mutual colaboration is to make as much noise as possible and throw as big a fit as you can, probably including lawsuit threats, and the misspelling is to suggest the stupidity of such a notion.

    Well, I just have to point out something.  Ali misspelled America,
    spelled it Uhmerika!  Or maybe he is intentionally misspelling it,

Pretty sure the misspelling was deliberate. This sort of deliberate misspelling is meant to poke fun at the way uneducated Americans are perceived to talk. It's the sort of inflection which might not come out correctly through a screen reader program.
