I've met nice americans, I've met dumb and stupid americans, just like everywhere else.
What freaks me our is the level of nationalism and the outright ignorance and arrogance towards the "outside world". Also the level of religiousness is somewhat strange.
I won't even start about your current administration...

Science has been charged with undermining morality, but the charge is unjust. A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death
