Also the US: Look at those foreign countries, bad guys because of what their government is doing regardless of whether it's what their people want.

It kills me ...I got into it with a colleague this morning while discussing this very topic. When I brought up that whatever the current trending "bad guy" is, we will always see an increase in hate crimes against that demographic in our own country. When I used the increased attacks on anyone appearing to be slightly middle eastern after 9/11 as an example she angrily spat out that "they've killed thousands of us." And I had to remind her that she was literally giving an example of what we were discussing.

Many, many Americans do not see things that way at all. You constantly encounter people saying that they like Chinese people but not the CCP, for example.
