I wish I had a clue.
You're right.... but only to a certain extent.
Hating milk (The World) can act as the foundation for hating chocolate (America) because they are closely related. Though, I'm not sure comparing America to chocolate and The World to milk is an accurate analogy -- assuming you were aiming to be accurate. Modern day America comprises significantly of foreign people and cultures; You
can't have modern day America without having foreign cultures ~ While you
can have chocolate without milk.
America is largely diverse. Name any country in the world and I can almost guarantee you there are people from that country that live in - or better yet:
migrated to - America. So, when a person says they hate Americans, who, exactly, are they referring to?
