Do american's dislike canadians?

[emeraldrafael]

I'm really hoping that the OP didnt see my post about the deadpool movie and take that seriously.

oka, narcissism over.

Anyway, its not hate. Its a joke. America is a lot liek Britain in that regard. we'll be complete and total dicks, but its usually just us making jokes.

 

[Duatha]

I am indifferent about pretty much every country, honestly its a stereotype brought on by western movies, and tv shows.

 

[GodofCider]

I don't hate any nationality. Generalizing such a large group of people is silly.

Roughly my immediate response upon reading the thread topic.

 

[Estoki]

Why would anybody ever hate Canada? We're the leading supplier in both maple syrup and milk in bags!

 

[SodaDew]

I'm American and I think of Canada as the U.S's brother on the top bunk of the bed, you have your country your way, and ours are way, but where still 'brothers'.

 

[Neverhoodian]

Canada is awesome. They gave us the Red Green show, after all:

 

[Mittens The Kitten]

It's not just Canadians that Americans hate. And I think it's terrible that they do. But then again, I'm one of those people that hopes one day people will stop being so damn ignorant and just get along. I've never really met an actual Canadian outside of the internet, but the few whom I have spoken to are quite enjoyable to be around. So no, I don't hate you guys.

What U.S. are you from? i've never ever heard any genuine hate for Canada from an american.

 

[Peteron]

Never heard of any racism towards canadians in the states. I have never liked any of them I have personally met, but that does not make them a bad people. Your friends probably ran into some assholes, that's all.

 

[Furbyz]

Actually, I really like Canadians. I've met a lot of cool people from their. I have to admit though, I love the joke-hate of Canada. Just arguing with people about our respective birthplaces in a joking manner is rather fun.

 

[Scizophrenic Llama]

At least around here, it's a common thing to crack jokes about Canadians, but it's all in good humor. I live in Washington and we get quite a few Canadians(a good amount come down for college and such) and I have yet to meet one I have had an issue with.

 

[vxicepickxv]

I only hate it out of envy. "Nice healthcare Canada. I wish we could have it here."

Spoken with absolute truth, but almost too much sarcasm.

 

[Westaway]

I don't think they hate us, and God knows they make more Mexican jokes. But I 90% percent of Canadians hate America. I'm not kidding either. Americans: Don't like Canada because Canada does NOT like you. They think you are all idiot, illiterate pigs that always make fun of us. I don't hate you though, my mom is American and I have duel citizenship. So I can speek for both sides.

 

[DustyDrB]

No, you guys give us a lot of really good comediens/ comedy actors. Plus: I love Feist and the Arcade Fire.

 

[DarklordKyo]

Well, a former girlfriend of mine is canadian, and so is a friend of mine, so I don't hate canadians personally (just specific ones).

 

[MisterShine]

Now I am not saying all americans are prejudice or anything of that nature but its more of a question of whether it is uncommon or not to have american people activly disliking anything canadian or anyone canadian taking part in there society?

Don't be ridiculous, we love you guys. Even if we make fun of you all the time.

We have a saying here in America, "No one beats up my little brother but me". Canada is absolutely our little brother. Or top hat. Either/or.

 

[Rawne1980]

I know us British only hold Canada accountable for one single atrocity..

Now if you apologise for Bryan Adams we can all move along.

I'm joking people.

(Disclaimer - I have to put the joke part at the end, you would be surprised the amount of people take an obvious joke post incredibly seriously).

 

[VanTesla]

I have noticed over time that americans seem to dislike canadians esspecially in there industry. Also in there media canadians are either very stereotyped and ussually portayed very negativly despite us essentially sharing the same culture. I have even heard various stories from fellow canadians who have been to the states for college or work and have activly experianced prejudice in various levels some to the point they even had to leave. Now I am not saying all americans are prejudice or anything of that nature but its more of a question of whether it is uncommon or not to have american people activly disliking anything canadian or anyone canadian taking part in there society?

No one I know hates Canadians or any nation, except my Grandpa and my best friend being a bit spiteful for some middle eastern Countries. All I see are jokes that are not demonizing, but parodies that make fun of both sides. Americans are portrayed as patriotic zealots and Canadians are portryayed as well different silly stereotypes (many made up).

Most Comedy Central shows make light jokes, but never mean them. I am sure there are a few people that have some kind of hate, that comes from ignorance, but that is a small minority.

I have friends that live in Canada or born from Canada and they never had problems that I know about. I live less than 45 miles away from Canada though.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Me hate the Canadians? Not one bit.

My older brother on the other hand, he hates the guts out of Canadians. Mostly because he's in the US army and had to work with what I am assuming were some of the laziest soldiers ever conceived, and had poor control from their superiors. From what he told me, one of their pilots nearly crashed a Chinook while trying to show off.

But personally, I don't think there is anything you can hate about Canada. They really mind their own business (though they did make flavored tobacco illegal)

 

[Torrasque]

Its because they're jelly of our everything.
Kidding aside, I interact with Americans (online) alot, and some of my best friends are American.
I have not met a single American that hates Canada.
There are lots that mock us, but never outright hate.
Americans save their hate for each other /shrug.

 

[Lerasai]

It's just mock-hate. I mean, what is there really to hate Canada for? But, American humor likes to make fun of *everybody*. It's just how it is. There is some ignorance about other countries, though. At least in my experience, we don't get taught a whole lot about them. It's really strange.
