There seems to be a lot of both on Y!A today... Just curious which you think is more uninformed and tiresome.

Bigoted anti-Americanism is annoying, but it does offer some insight as to why some don't like America/ns. I'm really tired of it though, it's like we've become the world's scapegoat. If people don't like American gov't, great, but I wish they would stop blaming . Gov't and citizens, there is a difference. I am proud to be an American, and I wish all non-Americans knew that not all of us are bigots.

Bigoted pro-American is nothing but shallow minded, unsophisticated, anti everything else that ain't American. It's very offensive to non-Americans, and it makes us look like a bunch of ignorant blokes. I get angered and embarrassed by it and find myself apologizing for the ignorance.

There seems to be much more of the latter here in Y! Answers. Both are annoying, both are wrong, but the latter is also embarrassing, so I'd say it's worse.

Easy.

"Bigoted" pro-Americanism is often mistaken for PATRIOTISM.

Bigoted anti-Americans are sometimes called SUBVERSIVES.

Of course this ethnocentric view comes from an American perspective of opinion as someone from another country might have another view completely.

all bigotry is annyoing. People today spend so much time arguing over Americans, foreigners, gay marriage...it's sick. Why not join together and come up with some solutions for once. Nationlaized health car, getting off oil, educating our children. Everyone is from somewhere else if you really think about migration and immigration. And most religions believe that we are all related. I think everyone should just get over it!

I'd lean to pro-American, however I've only spent 8 weeks traveling around America so I'm not overly informed about US culture.
Bagging American's is kinda fun, it's not that annoying for non-Americans.

It appears that the good people of the world ( including you ) could learn to be more tolerant of the things that are considered annoying.

For once this occurs you will see that the possiblity of a world of people who promote unity and peace will emerge.

You must find the plus sign! Let LOVE Rule!

Bigoted pro-Amer., it promotes a sense of superiority and smugness which incidentally would lead to self-denial of defeat.

Bigoted anti-Amer. is much more agreeable (still distasteful) since it induces change in the nation, however negative or positive, and advances popular awareness of plights in the country through the flagrant messages.

bill, what kinds of comments? might desire to you supply some examples? Then i will respond. It purely sounds like a disconnect between how the questioner objectives united statesa. could be and how issues particularly are, esp. in her view for many Black human beings. Imo, racism continues to be alive and correctly--everywhere--no longer basically in united statesa.. in reality, i'm a style of human beings who tries to no longer enable that stop me. I see the subject concerns in our expensive united states of america, yet i admire my united states of america and function vowed to do all it particularly is in my means to stay freely and to ascertain different human beings have the properly suited to stay freely. For me, it particularly is the yank dream: freedom. the liberty to pursue happiness and the liberty to dissent and to stand as much as something that thwarts that happiness. the liberty to stipulate myself exterior the constraints of how different human beings decide directly to label or see me. I even have traveled to different countries, and so some distance the only united states of america that comes on the element of the form of freedom I journey right this is Australia, or maybe there i chanced on a dose of racism. No massive deal. I nonetheless had an incredible time in Brisbane and in Sydney. i'm greater in music with what the previous due super poet Langston Hughes as quickly as pronounced. To paraphrase: united statesa. became on no account united statesa. to me yet I swear in this oath united statesa. would be would not it make greater sense to maintain the resourceful and prescient or dream of justice and equality alive than to trash the form or the DOI, that have been written at a term whilst there's no way our founders might have predicted such selection? i think of it particularly is as much as us to create the united statesa. we would desire to stay in. to cite the previous due super poet June Jordan: "we are the single we've been waiting for."

I agree with Cammiel. Predjudice in any form is just plain ignorance.
