Do asians, russians, and europeans hate americans?

I know that America has stuck it's nose in places it shouldnt. We think we are the police of the world. But I have heard that people in CHINA, somewhat Russia, and europe think of Americans as lazy, stupid people and hate us all. I don't agree with this. That's fine, they can hate the US GOVERNMENT, which by the way, ever Americans hate, but they shouldn't hate americans. Seriously.

So do the chinese really hate us? and what about the Russians? and the Euros?

And Don't be all mean and sarcastic, I'm 14.

    After being sucked into two world wars in the first half of the twentieth-century under the official foreign policy of isolationism the United States adapted a more proactive foreign policy in the second half of the twentieth-century called containment. Essentially we took (and still take) the position that governments that are engaged in actions that might lead to a war we could get sucked into are our business. Our intention is to avoid another world war of the dimensions of WW I and WW II in the first half of the last century. So far it's worked. But, it means we end up sticking our noses into the business of people who would just as soon we didn't until after they attacked us. During the second half of the twentieth-century that meant the Soviet Union and the Peoples Republic of China were particularly unhappy with our proactive foreign policy. Today militant Islamic groups and their apologists would like the US to ignore them until they are ready to attack us.

    There is also a world wide resentment of Americans. Immigrants come to America because they are failures in their own countries. In fact, more often then not, these immigrants are simply at the bottom of a socioeconomic structure that does not allow social or economic mobility. America's socioeconomic structure encourages it, and anyone can move up into the middle class or higher with hard work. When given the chance these "looser immigrants" have talent that blossoms, and most immigrant groups end up doing very well in their new country. The decedents of those who stayed behind, and are still locked into a socioeconomic system that does not encourage mobility resent their Americans cousins for doing so well. They try to dismiss us as unsophisticated country bumpkins, but are so jealous they can hardly contain themselves.

    In fact most people in the world do not actually hate Americans. But they are jealous of our free and open society and resent our egalitarian attitudes. The feel like we should acknowledge them as being superior because the live in ancient societies.

    Maybe they don't all "hate them", but most seem to not want to be like them, associate with them, or work for them. Most Asians where I live don't socialize with Americans once they come here. And many frown upon and look down on Americans. I've heard some stories from people that have had this done to them by Asian immigrants. Most Asian work for other Asians, there are few that work in corporate America along side of Americans who were born and raised here. Most don't even try to learn the biggest language spoken here, ...English. It's like they only come here for the benefits of the American dollar and not much else. I can count the times on one hand that I've seen an Asian driving anything other than an Asian made car/jeep. They are most times in a brand new Honda or Toyota. In parts of Asia, they are taught that Black people = bad, and taught stereotypes of all Blacks being thieves and criminals, and it's more than evident how they watch them like a hawk in their stores. They don't do that to White people. If you are perceptive (like I am) you'd notice that. Could Americans in small business go to Asia and prosper as much off of Asians as Asians do here? I highly doubt it. Maybe White Americans could a little, but not a lot.

    I'm Swiss:

    No, we don't hate America. Many Americans are actually quite okay. But here in Switzerland, we think America's economy is a complete mess right now... the literal difference by employment rates among Switzerland and America is literally 20%

    ... 20%, let that number sink in. Our universities are almost free. Our taxes are almost the same. yes, goods cost more, but salaries here are also quite high.

    . The US looks like Greece if you look at a balance sheet, even worse if you look at future obligations.

    Edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_... if you used our standard for unemployment, you'd be doing quite poorly.

    Edit again: Nancy Pelosi 2016 is very right. I've noticed the exact sentiment she states in many parts of Europe and in the Middle East, too. You'd be surprised. In the Persian/Arabian Gulf nations, employers give Americans higher salaries than other nationalities. How is that for hating regular Americans? But Bush? Oh, don't get them started-- even Obama now!

    Hi 14 year old you are over playing that word again why do teens always do it have you really got such a limited range of expressions.

    As i am 50 years older than you,i will put this as simply as i can, you know your government sticks it's nose where it is not wanted so what should you do when you eventually can vote.

    and old enough. CHANGE IT.

    so simple really if you just stopped being so GUNG HO when problems occur outside your domain it would solve a lot of grief.

    so when you eventually grow up and get a better education change things, don't just talk about it do it.

    we here in the united kingdom have our own problems in th past with stupid politicians like thatcher who wanted to get into bed with you over so many issues.
