It's jealousy for the Europeans. The Arabs have a legit beef with us because we have supported Israel. Asians don't hate USA for the most part. S. Americans don't hate us but they are partly jealous and think we are overly materialistic.
I'm sure many Europeans will be jealous of your working hours, numbers of holidays, employee rights, retirement plans, high quality and affordable health-care, high quality education system, infrastructure, broadband speeds, cell phone reception ...
The one things Europeans may actually be jealous of are the McMansions. Only those of us who actually lived there know that those are poorly isolated, poorly build Americans build quality and that's why they are cheaper than houses of the same size in Europe.

Your stereotyping accusations don't hold water. Examples yes... but not in most of the US. Though we do not build today to last centuries. But plenty of our housing could. Most big cities have strict building codes and suburban areas. By McMansions you mean single family homes for the masses became the American standard. The US is still sought after for visas. What it gave to the world sure is noteworthy and after all??
We are the result of mostly European immigration to here. Minnesota can be called little Scandinavia.

True although within that, Minneapolis has a little Mogadishu.

No it doesn't, we don't have those little segergated neighborhoods (chinatowns, little italy's, etc..) like the rest of the country.
We have African markets, next to Vietnamese restaurants, with Mexican food trucks parked around the corner next to a McDonalds.
