Brazilians look mostly for Disney World and theme parks in Orlando. They also love to go shopping in outlets in that area and sales is NYC.
Of course you find brazilians visiting everywhere, but a lot more than 50% go to USA for these places to make shopping and have fun at those parks.

Invincible if you lived outside the US and saw the ignorance (yes, of course not all are same) of Americans and the way the country exports an image of superiority you would understand peoples fustrations.
Anyway the U.S. is an interesting country.
It always has bothered me more when I see British people say unfriendly things about the US, especially considering the close historical and cultural ties we have. Being founded as a British colony our laws and government are strongly influenced by Britain, our language and culture is strongly influenced by Britain, in short we are really just an offshoot of Britain when you get down to it. The British CREATED the United states, and to hear people from across the pond cut us down is far more upsetting than it is to hear a Russian or Chinese person do it. They are truly foreign to us, but British people are not. (same for other anglo nations like Australia and especially Canada) Here in the US there is a largely positive view of Britain, its very rare to hear strong anti English rants. You will hear some national pride when we talk about our revolution, but beyond that there is no bad feelings toward the British. We recognize the fact that they did start this country, regardless of our spat with King George III. When we were forced into WW2 by the Japanese attack we chose to send the bulk of our force to England to help our ally drive the Nazis out of Europe. The Japanese enemy was put second to the threat of Nazi Germany. We did that because of the close ties we have with England. Now Im sure over there you see all kinds of garbage emanating from the USA, our media puts countless stupid people on TV, where they rant on about foreign policy, politics etc. We also put all our troubles out for the world to see, our culture is so open that we make it easy for our enemies to see our flaws. In fact we debate our problems and flaws on national TV. Our entertainment industry pumps out garbage like Snookie and housewives, this definitely does not help us. All this being the case, none of it represents the regular American. Also most Americans have no interest in being the world police (we are always accused of this). We get pulled into these kinds of things when other nations request help, and being we have the resources it kind of ends up being a moral responsibility. The ISIS thing is a perfect example, most Americans are not happy about having to deal with it but the vile atrocities being committed by ISIS make it impossible to say no. Britain often faces the same dilemma, as being a major world power comes with some responsibility to help those under the boot of oppression. The US however is the one called warmongers for being involved in these kinds of things. I am not saying your anti American, but in general its sad to see us being condemned by those in England. I don't care if the arabs don't like us, I don't care about the Russians, but I do care that the British have begun to see us in the same negative light that parts of Europe and the middle east do.

There is a long history of anti-Americanism in the UK. Why does their opinion count more than anyone else's? Google "BBC Question Time 9/11". It will be a real eye opener for you.
