Is it normal that this upsets me greatly?

I'm upset. I'm upset because everyone hates my fellow Americans and me. It almost makes me want to kill myself before I reach middle age. I mean, sure there's alot of bad, ignorant, selfish, and arrogant Americans but there's a lot of good, educated, selfless, and humble Americans as well. No one should stereotype us just because alot of us have bad traits. Everyone has flaws, not just us. It's a crying shame that outsiders can't realize this. What do they expect of us? We're not perfect, no one is. Then they act as if we're nothing but scum while they're the superior beings. No one is superior or inferior. We're all human and we should stop fighting amongst each other. I wish that non-americans would realize that they shouldn't hate a whole group of people just because there's a lot of bad people. I know that we Americans do it too and I apologize to every person who has suffered due to a fellow American. I'm very sorry and I hope that you can forgive me and my people. To every non-American out there: Please stop hating us. Please. I wish that you would give us another chance and forgive all the wrong we've done. I don't want you to bear ill-will towards us Americans as I don't want my fellow Americans and I to bear ill-will towards you. Please. Let us unite as humans so we can help each other and end this nasty cycle of stereotyping and hatred. We should love each other as friends and siblings, not hate each other. How will anyone ever be happy if all we do is fight each other because of our differences? All it will do is continue the cycle and more people will only continue to suffer and hate people from other nations. You don't have to listen to me if you don't want to. But please consider my words atleast. If you all can see it in your hearts to not hate Americans anymore, I greatly thank you.

    Im Australian and I think in every country there tends to be a certain stereotype. I don't know what people think about Australians but from some of the fuckwitts I see around the place I bet they probably haven't left the best impression.

  • In the same way that not all Americans are like that, not all non-Americans hate us. Just because someone is from somewhere doesn't make them all the same. Humans have free will to think how they want. Some just choose not to use it.

    Sadly all groups of people are stereotyped by ignorant people. Not all foreigners hate us; I have plenty of virtual friends in Europe and southeast Asia. But idk what countries you're talking about.
