Is it normal to become offended when people post rude comments about the usa?
Many people (mostly Americans and Europeans) hate the USA. If you ask them why, they spit out something that they heard from someone else and there is really no substance to what they say. It annoys me when people from other countries rant about the US but if their safety is threatened, the United States is the first place they run to for help.
I'm a duel citizen, living in Ireland but with American parents. Everyone here hates the US, but if there was ever a problem, they'd expect the US to step in.
Also, I feel like if someone said the same things about the US, but about an African or Asian country, they'd be called racist. It's okay to blast the US, but not Nigeria, Myanmar or Egypt because that would be "racist."
Like all countries, the US has made mistakes, but yet it receives more criticism than North Korea, Myanmar/Burma and Saudi Arabia.
So, my question: Is it normal to get slightly offended when people blast the US off so liberally?
