Neil Gross says anti-Americanism in the world isn't as bad as you think. Andrei S. Markovits says it's worse. From Markovits:

Anti-Americanism constitutes a particular prejudice that renders it not only acceptable but indeed commendable in the context of an otherwise welcome discourse that favors the weak.

In Guatemala I met a Canadian who said something bad about Americans, added to me, "Of course, I don't consider you an American," and thought it was a compliment.
