    Not US here. I sometimes think that Americans are nice individuals, generaly speaking, but they are collectivly ferocious.

      As a Canadian, I find average Americans are friendlier than average Canadians (experience through the West Coast, Orlando and Texas)

      But your mileage may vary: I am white

        None of the friendliness is sincere. I live in NC and they were super friendly but actually complete assholes full of hate.

      Americans are radically different depending on what region, and social class, of American you are interacting with.

      But that’s true of any country. Every country hates and is embarassed by the poor uneducated douchebags, and loves their elite well-off cultured population.

      UK has way more chavs living in shitty places with bad economics, than it does ‘posh’ people with nice accents living in London. USA is no different.

        For some additional geographic context: The United States is roughly the size of Europe. A little larger if you include Alaska, a little smaller if you don’t. The entirety of England is roughly the size of Illinois.
