Cornishman,
The US has about 5% of the world's population. That means that to 95% of people, Americans are foreigners.

We have a number of American (and Australian and NZ) members on the European motorcycle forum that I use. Not one of the members is other than civil to those American posters, nobody sees that their coming from another country is sufficient grounds to bad mouth or send offensive texts to anybody. I am amazed that such actions occur here with worrying regularity.

X2!
That said, this is not a "bash a yank" rant, just the observations of others.
