Not thought of in the same ways by all Americans. I for one do NOT think of Europeans in any of the negative ways you've described.
All Americans do NOT think alike just as all PEOPLE do not think alike. My plea to all Europeans: Please do not regard all Americans as fitting the "ugly American" stereotype. We're not all like that.
I also do not normally respond to such political arguments and finger pointing as to whose forefathers allegedly are the most to blame for this or that. For blame, we can go back to our very humanity and as such, point the finger at all of us. It's all innate human error and we're all human.
