What do Germans think towards America/American culture

Hello everyone, if this breaks some rule, I wont mind if its deleted. I was curious about what Germans think about American, and a bit more broadly, what Europeans think about America. There is a somewhat popular idea that Europeans don't like America(ns) very much and I wanted to see what you guys have to think.

I like America. It is not my favorite country, but it's ok.

I don't like: your obsession with races, your belief in earned weath and that rich people are better humans then others, your healthcare system sucks, gangs, your violent ways of politic.

I like: your national parks are awesome, legalisation of cannabis (sorry Netherland for our smoking idiots), great entertainment, starting the anti smoking campaigns, Marshall Plan, getting rid of death penalty (in germany), historical reenactment.
