[Seamus28214]

There is a large amount of prejudice against people in other countries, especially Middle Easterners and the French, in America as well. The same reasons we dislike them can be applied to their situations as well. Part of it is political differences like differing sides in the Palestinian/Israeli conflict and support for the odious Saudi royal family for Middle Easterners and support for the death penalty, drug war, and an aggressive foreign policy for the French and many other Europeans. Part of it is also cultural, as some Middle Easterners look at Americans as too secular and hedonistic while the French and other Europeans don’t feel Americans are secular or hedonistic enough! But a common thread runs through both American and non-American dislike: ignorance. Most people expressing such views either know few, if any, people of the offending culture, or came into their relationships with biases that overwhelm the positive interactions with people of said cultures.
