Nope, nobody is, never claimed we were. I am sorry you met some idiots, most British and Irish really like America and Americans. You have the chip on the shoulder leftwing Americanophobes though. Frankly, they hate their own country as well.
Well I agree with that. Apply that to the race issue. It never included everyone either.
In general, it seems to me Americans like Brits better than Brits like Americans. I think it is the accent that charms us so. LOL.
