I lived in South Korea - have you?
I have been on the US Military base and talked to US Soldiers. Have you?
No?
I guess all those Americans are liars - odd they all seemed like good honest folks to me.
And let's use a brain - according to your proof (which isn't) 22% have a negative view. So let's THINK about that - that means a little over 2 out every 10 people you meet there may not like you. As you see in the USA - there is an increase of dummies beating up Chinese blaming a Chinese American who was perhaps born in America and never been to China for the corona-virus.
Nowhere did I say this would happen every day or all the time. Americans living in South Korea TOLD me this. If they hadn't told me - I would not have known about it.
There were many articles on the net at the time I lived in South Korea suggesting the notion that US citizens may wish to sew on a Canadian flag. Dumb as it sounds - people were doing it mainly under the Bush regime as they did attack a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. People there just like Americans are currently doing to the Chinese are blaming the people for what the government was doing. Which is dumb but since the average IQ is around 100 it means there is a significant number of people in the 70-80 range walking the streets - all around the world.
In any case - the Americans were all friendly in my 2 years there.
