Okay, let's clarify. People across the world may dislike America but they don't hate them to the point of starting a war or beating anyone up. If you're wondering why, I think the best explanation came from South Park: "The reason why we hate you is because you can't understand how anyone can hate you!". America, as a nation (not individuals, of course) has a "God bless America" mentality that basically implies "God fuck everyone else". Plus there is the stereotype that Americans are undereducated, unintelligent but overpaid and spoilt.

Now, spending time in the US I have learnt that that is not true at all. Most people I've met here (in California at least) are friendly, nice people who are, frankly, embarrased by their government's foreign policy.

But the fact remains that most Americans are profoundly ignorant of the rest of the world. I've only met one or two Americans my age who have travelled outside of the USA (Mexico not included).

And as for the cultural differences; What good differences DO I have? I killed the Jews, fer cryin' out loud!

Excuse me? Am I missing a punch-line here?
