Misfired hatred.

Every time I see a video of a large foreign city, bustling with people and cars, I wonder what they think about us.

Who is 'us'?

Well I really meant people not in their country. Or maybe people not even in their city if their sphere is small enough.

I know that they do think of 'us', but not as a collection of individuals, but rather as a group overall. That right there is the problem. When you star grouping people and thinking about them as a whole unit, they stop being people and become something...less.

Flip your perspective

That's how we view all people outside of our immediate sphere. It's not inherently wrong, but as with most beliefs, how that informs your decision-making is what matters. To see why, flip this perspective. The same way you judge them as a group, they judge you. Look at all of the information left on the table now. Our country can't continuously be defined by the 51-49 split that seems to be a constant in every major decision.
