Anti-Americanism in New Zealand

Firstly, I’d just like to say how refreshing it is to have returned to the blogshpere to find people such as yourself speaking out about the ridiculousness of what seems to be happening in the world with regards this hatred. I’m so thrilled to see Americans speaking out against this.

While I have a feeling I’ll be posting about this on my personal blog, it is an absolute pleasure to be a guest blogger on topics relating to this. I think I could give a different perspective as I’m not American, yet simply because I’m with an American I seem to be part of a very strange “secret hate club“, so to speak.

I think there’s opportunity to post about many topics, such as:

• Anti-Americanism in the NZ media, how it seems to encourage it and the false reporting on America.
• The NZ Government and their Anti-American comments.
• The “we hate Americans but thanks for McDonald’s” attitude or “Anti-Americanism over a cup of Starbucks”.
• Weird things being blamed on America, recently I saw a news article on TV that blamed all gang activity on America .. what the?
• How acceptable it is to “bash” Americans, and how it IS about the “white” Americans and not ALL Americans.
• My fears about how this may effect my children, because children aren’t stupid, they hear these comments too.
• Why, I’d rather be American. Yes, I’m very serious when I said I don’t want to return once we leave.

I think people need to see how ridiculous it is, how far it’s actually gone, and how much it effects people.
