I noticed this ... really only in the US so far - and it was only with a relatively small group of people who always seemed to have a need to defend something. Never ever seen it elsewhere - in fact, the opposite - folks would moan and whine about "the establishment" and were never "sensitive" to this.
I'm originally from the EU (tho live on this side of the Atlantic) - there would be no hesitation in criticism of some politician or whatever - and I've got no objection to the world joining in *lol* - especially if they deserved it!!
But otherwise.. have a fair number of good friends in the US and got great respect for a couple in particular. When you have folks like Ryan behaving this way - I kinda feel bad for normal people and friends there.
Would take too long to explain... but you get to know folks from other countries - they may be poor or wealthy, but they are not "hateful" - they would be shocked to see GFY.
Bottom line... and only my
- does not matter where people come from. They have their own culture and are really no different to us - and (unless there is a reason otherwise) - they should be given respect. Na.. don't actually know *anyone* to would ever say they "hate" the folks in the states - sounds more myth than fact
