Only a small percent are and sadly those are the ones we all talk about and remember. I've been to almost every major city on the east coast and spend many winters in Florida near Delray Beach. I never had an issue any more serious then I did in Toronto, Canada. I was very surprised how friendly people in NYC were. We were clearly tourist and people were great giving us advice on how to get around and good places to eat and visit. No one was rude.

99% of Americans and I would say most people around the world are decent just trying to live their lives.

The government does not represent us anymore, not the people, but corporations that use lobbyists to give bribe money to vote for laws in their favor.

George Washington is rolling in his grave that the USA is a Corporate Tyranny.

It would be more appropriate to discuss one particular Russian when discussing bad people.

"Bad" is relative to the observer. If you ask me, I'd say 99% of people in this world are selfish and objectively worthless to the species and contribute literally nothing of value to humanity. But that's because I'm cynical and jaded. If you asked most people, they'd probably say something like "Most people are just trying to live their lives and make their way home" or some Joan Osborne rhetoric. As long as you're not trying to rape anyone or diddle kids, I won't consider someone to be a "bad person," but I still do think most people are too self-absorbed to be anything you'd call "good." You've probably spent too much time on social media, regardless if you're not an American or actually are.

Also, as a American-born citizen, I guarantee you my ass grew up broker than you. Unless you too went dumpster diving behind fast food restaurants and had to eat processed, bullshit Dollar Tree "food" for large chunks of your life.

What is an American? Given the diversity of the population, you will need to be specific, we practically have 50 different states with 50 different backgrounds minimum.
