Question

really what does the UK folks think bout us Americanos?

Answer 1

All the Americans I've met are overseas, and they make up a significant portion of my friends. I'm a very atypical Brit, and get on extremely well with non-resident Americans. But they (and I) have mixed feelings about the US culture and people as a whole.

Americans are very, very racially aware. Different races don't mix with one another, which I found incredible. I could tell it bothered people I met, when they couldn't work out my race. .

I used to think Americans were extremely 'westernised'; in the sense it was a liberal country. Now I think this is not the case, and the US seems about as conservative as, say, Iran. There seem to be regular disputes and genuine hatred around gayness, abortion, euthanasia, polygamy, drugs, religion and race. It was only 40 years ago that whites and 'coloreds' were not allowed to mix. For all the freedom Americans talk about, they really have very little (compare to, say, Europe).

Over the years, the American people have voted for governments that can only be described as evil. By backing their governments and troops, Americans have done truly terrible things. They've installed dictators in South America and the Middle East, even imprisoned their own people of Japanese descent during WW2. Their quest for oil and resources has left the Arab world in turmoil and most of Africa in poverty.

I don't think the American people are evil for these acts. Americans are naive, and easily fooled by what Fox News and CNN tell them. They never question whether their government is doing a good job, because TV tells them not to. Americans recently turned against Bush because he fell out of favour with the media. It's a media-controlled democracy, and since big corporations control the Media, it isn't a democracy at all.

As an American, you're probably not aware of the fact that Germany wants members of the CIA to stand trial over kidnapping and torture charges, or that Amnesty International regards the US as one of the worst human-rights abusers in the world. That many policy decisions are borne of 'lobbying' (bribery) by Big Tobacco and Oil companies, and the NRA.

Americans believe they live in a free and fair society, where people of different races and religions can live together in peace, in tune with the environment. They cannot understand why the world hates them -- it must be down to jealousy! Unfortunately this picture is the one TV paints for them. The reality is very, very different.
