I’m sick of Americans who don’t know that Central and South Americans really dislike the government of the US, and have for a very long time. I really dislike the fact that Americans don’t understand why we’re hated around the world, because they don’t know what our government has been up to.
This isn’t something from a text book, one of my great grandfathers was in the Philippines occupation, and my paternal grandfather was part of the Cuban occupation. This is family history, not just US history. This crap happened and people don’t forget it.
