what do you think of anti american sentiment?

Question

okay. im american but i volunteer at a place where tourists come from everywhere around the world and i love meeting them. ive asked some of my friends who are from different countries what they think of americans. i respect the honest yet kind opinions like we tend to be ungrateful, unaware of international problems that dont concern us, etc. and i can totally understand that because sad as it may be for the most part its true. i think privileged americans find it hard to relate because we are born with the bare necessities and much more. i do try to keep myself aware of things happening everywhere-its just the right the to do. but really dont like it when foreigners are ignorant calling us "rude, stuck up, etc" its like have you met every1 in the u.s.? americans who do the same to foreigners are just as ignorant without a doubt. anyway i can blab 4ever. what do you think? message me if u wanna know more! l8ter loves!!

Answer 1

I'm all for it. Canada all the way, lol.

Answer 2

It is mostly jealousy, Every country in the world wishes it were more like us. Their people want our freedom, their govt. wants our security and industry, their hospitals wish they had our worst doctors. When was the last time a child went to China, Nigeria, France or even Canada for life saving surgery?

Japan has a great economy but remember they have no National Defense Budget, the US protects Japan from the rest of the world.

Answer 3

Lol.

I think it should be taking in stride just like all of these stereo types people have of people from other countries.

You sound like a person well worth meeting. Greetings from Canada!!!

Answer 4
