National Popularity Survey - Top 10

Have you ever wondered which nation and which nation's people are respectively most and least admired? You probably have your own ideas.
I've conducted an informal, non-exhaustive survey on the Internet which offers a statistical answer to this question.
Using a popular Search Engine, I entered the query: "F*cking !!!!!! C*nt" (replace * by vowel and !!!!! by national identity - English, French, American, etc.). The results were as follows, in descending order of number of hits:

1) American: 418
=2) English: 116
=2) French: 116
4) Irish: 76
5) German: 74
=6) Scottish: 51
=6) Welsh: 51
8) Foreign: 16
=9) Japanese: 4
=9) Chinese: 4

So the Americans seem to be most despised, while the Orientals tend to be looked on most favourably. It's refreshing to note that the levels of general xenophobia would seem quite low, with only 16 hits for "effing foreign c***".

Scots equal with Welsh? That CANNOT be right!
