Here in Latin America there is quite a lot of hate against U.S. people. I can't tell you percentages - it is surely not everybody.
But, while it isn't fair to blame individual Americans for the perceived faults of the U.S. government, well, many people are not fair in this respect.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
