They do not look down on all Americans. They also do not like illegals though. They also do not like arrogant people. I have seen some of them in this forum as of late. If you are of Mexican descent and Spanish as Mexicans do then you speak a bastardized version of Spanish, just as we in the this country speak a bastardized version of English.

Been there 3 times never had any issues what so ever. Its a norm for Europeans to look down upon former colonies.

The Spanish (Spain) don't look down upon or Hate Mexicans or people from South America...it is a bit of a rivalry...but no hatred...Don't know where you get this from?

However, Most people from Spain (Europe in fact) do look down upon the United States...
