Why are they hated because they are ignorant about other countries politics and cultures. It isn't that you have to look elsewhere but you (most Americans) know nothing about the world around you.(most Americans)

Every immigrant I've ever met seems to appreciate America more than most Americans I know.
And no, we don't know all the ins and outs of politics and cultures of other countries--we really don't care.
However, I doubt someone from Spain or China has much knowledge about our government, football, differences between various regions of the country, etc. So what? Nobody seems to care about other countries' ignorance of America.
I'm sure as hell not losing sleep because most people in Russia probably don't know that California is full of liberals and Wisconsin produces our cheap beer and dairy products. Why the double standard?
