The whole notion that "The French hate Americans" is utter nonsence and such a broad stroke generalisation anyone who makes it is clearly rather shallow.
A certain rudeness, lack of interest and time for people is very commen place in many, many major capitils around the world ..it comes from the interpersonalal isolation that results from the frenetic hustle and bustle of huge amounts of people living in often crowded conditions were every journy seems a jam, everything seems expensive and everyones in a rush....and geting there slowly.
Socioligist have studied this phenomomana and also studied what makes for "happier" cities and the conclussions seem to point to there being a population limit beyond which many people become very discontented and experiance very little community spirit.
Ya wanna try walking in Central London and trying to find a Londoner for directions!...a bloody nightmare
Move away from major capitils and metropilis`s and the situation changes and people become as variable in there warmth and genuiness as we`d expect to find in any community.
In my life to date as a Brit I`ve defended Americans from the slander of Brits more times than I can count thanks to the ignorent and lazy stereo typing thats remarkably commen place. My experiance is that the much despised American foreign policy and media bias has very little to with "average" America. Just as our own bunch of crooks in parliement has very little to do with "average Brit"..as with you lot..most of dont actualy nominate the party in power...such is "democracy" eh
My own experiance of Americans has been overwhelmingly possitive in particulerly in places such as Collorado Springs, Aspen, Boulder and Denver but not in Los Angeles which I found a rather intimidating place ( just as have with Paris, London, Tokyo, Mexico City and Buenos Aires etc...but no way would I ever stoop to such crass comments as Miloman makes about the "Fench hate Americans".It`s also offensive to those Americans who gave there lives in WW2 helping to defete the occupation.
It realy shows a lack of inteligent thinkng.
Meet the person not the labal.
