Americans are not hated in Asia (not as individuals anyway), all Asians want to live in America, especially Japanese who can not be individuals in their own country so they will move anywhere they are offered an opportunity (including such retched countries as Peru)

Koreans and Chinese don't count because they hate everyone that is not a member of their immediate family

Australians really like Americans, but because they all secretly really want to be British, they pretend to hate the Americans because the British do. The British hate Americans because they wre once a colony and the british can' ever forget that they once had power.

Newzealanders are to dumb to hate anyone

The French look down on everyone it has nothing to do with hate.

The Germans are amused that anyone thinks they can possibly be as smart as they are (BMW, Mercedes and Volkswagen are the proof) hatred is no longer necessary and is bad for sales.

Most of mankind has basic animosity towards their immediate neighbors so Canadians and Mexicans are natural enemies (after all America sets the pace and they have to try to keep up) so they are allowed to have an attitude

In reality it is only the British that really hate Americans, the vocal haters that we see on CNN, are just a small group of professional agitators (students and professors) that travels around the world carrying placcards and making sound bites for the international media. (this is unfortunately true)

And everybody (including the British) wants a greencard in their christmas stocking
