You seem to know the dutch, but It's well known that about 80% of the american people do not know whom founded their most famous city: "New York" (New Amsterdam). That and as been said before, the American public schools have a way lower level then the european ones. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that americans detest anything socialist, because it is just a stepping stone to communism in their eyes and thus don't want to pay taxes for good education?TheRocketeer said:I wasn't aware that we didn't like Europeans.
I mean, the French are unpopular, but I got the impression they were unpopular everywhere else, too.
Otherwise, I know most Americans are fond of the Dutch, the Italians, the British countries, and Northern Europeans.
Other than that, there isn't really a frame of reference for the Germans, Slavs, Russians, and Baltic nations aside from being the bad guys in various wars, so they have sort of a stigma to them.
I don't think there's any actual wide opinion on Spain or Portugal, other than ignorantly equating them with Mexico, and we hate Mexico.
This post is not aimed towards you though my friend, I'm happy you at least know our little soon to be flooded mud pool ^^
