Why do people hate Americans? and southerners?

North Carolina isn’t even the south. Texas is the south. Thats why they call people stupid americans. cause you live on the east coast and call yourself the south.

I, personally, have no real issues with Americans…I know and respect very many of them.

If I may explain it as I see it though, America comes off as a bit of a ‘bully’, and…well…people don’t like bullies.

I know what you mean. we have been called ‘the police nation’. But somebody has to stop ‘evil’ nations from getting and using nukes

That’s just how some people are. They’re very ignorant…they didn’t know you, but they were quick to judge.. Personally, I have no problem with southerners.. my mom lives in Georgia.

Ya but sometimes we just need to keep our noses out of it. We aren’t the boss of the world. But I think a lot of the ‘stupid americans’ comes from the celeberaties because they are so well known and do some really stupid sh!t. But in a way stupid americans are kind of like stupid blonds. Its just something that people think though it doesnt mean it is true.

I’m from the N.C. Coast too and I have to admit that we don’t get it as bad as the rest of the state, like Gastonia or the Mtns. Most people are on vacation and couldn’t care less about us. Most of the time, they don’t know us from the tourists. We still get our share though. I’m disabled too. Can you imagine the looks I get?

Yes, people do think we’re stupid but why are you worried about what those people think? Ignore them if you can and you’ll be ahead of them.

oh just igonor people in england, we dont hate you, we just like calling people stupid, were horrid :P honestly, we call everyone stupid, and cause your american you get called a stupid american if you were chinese, it would be stupid chinese dont worry about it, english people are stupid :P most people dont actually feel that way anyway, they just say it when they get irritated for some reason alys

they dont look down on just southerners they look down on all americans because of george bush…they dont like that he declared war and that he stayed in iraq for so long even though there was no need since we already found the people in charge of causing 911…he stayed there for oil but it’ll get alittle better now that obama is trying to pull the troops out of iraq since theres no point of being there anymore.

Generally, if people do hate Americans, it’s either because of the media portrayal, which portrays Americans to be very obnoxious and cocky (and we do have some Americans in the limelight who are…) or because of bad experiences, such as with tourists. If people hate southerners, it’s because of the media portrayal once again, which exhibits southerners to lack intelligence and be racist. The uneducated, racist, and slow drawl part about southerners are most likely what bother other people who aren’t American and dislike Americans. I’m from Tennessee myself, so I know for a fact that the south is a wonderful place. America really is a great place, but it’s our education system and other sorts of things that have given us a bad reputation in the view of other countries.
