Greece

According to a Pew survey, 63% of Greeks do not really like Americans. The irrepressible American optimism really gets under the Greeks’ skin. The European country is currently suffering from crushing debts, and the ‘it’ll be fine’ attitude that some Americans have is not viewed positively in Greece. The KKE or the Communist Party of Greece, which has several seats in parliament, is unsurprisingly highly critical of the importance of banks in the U.S. and the country’s love affair with capitalism.

Brazil

Brazil is a common location in numerous American films but the reality of life in the South American country is typically ignored and its people are commonly disrespected in the said films. Brazilian land is used or homes are rented by directors and producers but they still film American stories. Tourists from the U.S. who visit Brazil are also criticized for ‘poverty tourism’, so they do not really get a warm welcome.
