Thanks for that quote.

I wanted to know who said that so I looked it up and here’s the full quote with attribution:

Chancellor Gerhard Schröder has several times made statements to the effect that we Europeans should not cultivate a superficial anti-Americanism.

But mine isn’t superficial at all.

Personally I have nothing against the US itself - it’s a beautiful country - it’s the people who live there that are the problem.

I guess you could say it’s the same thing with Bavaria.
