And you say that like it is something new. That is how it has been since the conception of the nation.

If Americans are hated because of that, should we really care what you guys think? I mean really? You all act like this is some high school popularity contest.

Americans live on a continent with 3 nations, 2 of which are practically the same.

It is a far cry from anywhere else in the world, where there are dozens of nations in the neighborhood.

And what exactly is wrong with not liking rice? It doesn't have any taste. Are Americans just supposed to say "Who cares what I like to eat, I mean this European over here told me to shut up and eat it."? And you make it sound as if there aren't any McDonalds in China.

You completely missed my point! When in Rome, as a matter of common courtesy, you should do as the Romans do. Why should the rest of the world change for your country's benefit? That's exactly why people resent the US. You can't even get it right with your neighbours next door. Those things can end up biting you in the end.
