I've noticed a lot of dislike (possibly too harsh a word) by Yanks towards Brits, its more towards the British stereotype than the actual people IMO..
But doesn't the same happen between all the big "Personalities" that are regularly in the limelight? US, British, French, Germans, Chinese, Americans, Europeans etc..
Everyone has their stereotypes that are completely ridiculous as blanket generalizations..
Looking through some of the Falklands threads in Breaking Alternative News I was shocked by the number of people apparently from the US that had strong views against the British and our Monarchy.
I thought we were very close countries in most ways including descent. The British in general have no problem at all with the US or its people. Despite Britain being part of the EU now I think most still class the US as our closest ally.
Are these views as common as they seem in the States?

I disagree - i think a lot of (US) ATS members like the UK.
I may be wrong though?
