You are right for the most part and what you feel is quite natural.
All creatures, including all humans, are driven mostly by egoism and stupidity. The egoism makes their stupidity seem like great intelligence and the stupidity prevents them from seeing the egoism. So in one way, yes, all humans are garbage regardless of race or country not just whites, not just Americans.
All the ideas that humans give us, all the ideals and values they tell us we should uphold, are all based only on egoism and stupidity. They are not meaningful ideals or values. All the thoughts and theories of the human species are essentially no more meaningful than the howls and shrieks of chimpanzees. Human society is nothing more than a lunatic asylum with 7 billion lunatics in charge, constantly telling themselves collectively that they are great and wise and wonderful and all that.
So you will naturally feel bitter and disappointed with humans. But that is good in one way because you have stumbled on the truth. It is very difficult to get even that far because when our own egoism and stupidity are pandered to we immediately think how great humans are and become completely blind to the real nature of all creatures - egotistic and stupid!
Starting with the bitterness and disappointment you can work your way out, regain your sanity, peace of mind and find a meaningful way to live without being so horribly trapped among humans.
Paradoxically, the way out is inwards, into one's own mind. I am not talking about some magical mumbo jumbo or crystals or angels or some such new age nonsense. I am talking about a system of steadily training the mind to discard the ideas and notions that limit our freedom, take away our peace of mind and get us trapped in human society. It leads to better quality of life. This is nothing new. It has been around for 2500 years. Just google "Theravada Suttas".
