People everywhere look down on the USA because people focus on the bad in everything, not the good.
While the USA probably has some of the best "good" (smarts, people, athletes in many sports etc.), they also have the worst "bad" (southerners, fatties).
Compare to Canada, there isn't a large gap between our good part and bad part. So Canadians are viewed pretty highly everywhere, especially since people differentiate Quebec and the rest of Canada since Quebec isn't seen as highly usually (Celine Dion).
In the US the bad is really bad. Fat, racist, overly religious, GWB voting, WMD believing southerners weilding shotguns in their underwear holding "moran" and "God Hates Fags" signs. This is how the world views all the US when it's only a small part.
Smart people see the US for the good, most people aren't smart.
