An anti-American sentiment prevails in South Korea? I don't get it.
It's more complicated than anything. They don't like the troops here (a lot of American women don't like the troops here either). Many bars will block you if you are in the military. They're okay with teachers and other Americans.
The reason is because the younger guys go to Hongdae, Sinchon, Itaewon, and even here in Bundang and get in trouble. I've almost gotten into a fight with a soldier because he would not stop harassing a female teacher of ours. The problem was so out of hand they were not allowed in Hongdae after a certain time (MP would stop them).
Again teachers are generally tolerated. We get stares and the unwanted pro-bono English lesson while you're on the subway...but that's really about it.
At least the rest of the world kept the "American" title, although I suspect some on the extreme left in this country would choose to change it if they had their druthers.
"Paramount Pictures and Marvel Studios gave distributors around the world the option of shortening the title of "Captain America: The First Avenger" to simply "The First Avenger," out of concern about anti-American sentiment."
"But the only countries that took them up on it were Russia, Ukraine and South Korea."
I wonder if they'll do it similar to the American backpackers who wear Canadian flags on their backpacks to try to convince foreigners they're not American and call the film Captain Canada... He can help fight against hockey rioters...
And it's great that the South Koreans have such anti-American sentiment that they can't have a film with America in the title being distributed in their country. Maybe we don't really need 50,000 US troops in that country at this point in history and could save some money by bringing them home.
Take a quick look through the forums. There are plenty of right wingers who want to succeed from the country. Why aren't you whining about them? Oh right, that would be intelligent.
You're attacking another poster's intelligence after you confused the words "succeed" with "secede"?
The last time I checked "American" was not the Demonym of US Nationals.
If your passport says "American" under nationality then please post a picture of it.
"American" embassies do not exist. Since continents do not have embassies. Now, the "U.S." embassy does exist.
Captain U.S. American or Captain USA would be more accurate.
Mine says "United States of America". However, "American" is indeed a demonym of US nationals in the English language. It is not like other languages where there actually is a word that literally means "United Statsian" (in English, the term is nonsensical).

Didn't you know that people around the world call the US America as well?
