Why are other nations prejudice against British?
It goes both ways....it's called human frailty.

Most nations, if not all, are prejudice against another. I don't know why people keep picking on the British though. I wouldn't say I am prejudiced but I have a problem with illegal immigrants wherever they are from. That doesn't make me prejudiced, does it? You can see from the answer above mine that there are others who choose to insult other nations for no reason, with comments which are untrue. If you get people from the same nation saying things like that all the time then you're going to get the impression that they are all idiots.

Blimey, That's a bit of a sweeping generalisation considering our aristocracy was created by a Frenchman, William the Conqueror, who also created our medieval architecture. Our Royal family is German, Our language is a mix of Latin, Saxon and recently Indian and American. Our shops and banks were created by Jews. Against Hitler; the Empire stood beside us. And our food is anything but British....
ever since the first Jute, the first Saxon,the first Roman and the first Dane leaped off their boats and planted their feet on British mud, we have been a mongrel nation
Which begs the question who the hell are "The British" and just who are they prejudiced against?
I think there's a big big difference between prejudice and general surliness and your mistaking one for the other

You shouldn't generalise like that. I'm English & I would stake anything to claim that I'm one of the least prejudice people you could ever wish to meet!
Prejudice isn't something that afflicts nations, it afflicts individuals!!

we are not, and you must be prejudice yourself to ask such a dumb question. If you had any brains you would realise that. Are you saying that no other countries display prejudice? or are you just turning a blind eye to those who think like you.

For the same reasons other nations are prejudiced towards us.
It happens everywhere.
