People there aren't hostile towards Americans to the extent that people in America hear about the supposed hostility. I guess if you are an obnoxious American tourist, you might have a problem.

I took a group of 8 of my students to France this past April, they all loved it and not a single one had any problems, and they also stayed with French families. *end hijack*

As far as the booing...just plain rude. I'm sure had all the Americans booed Miss Mexico it would have been hugely publicized that we're all a bunch of haters. Miss USA recovered well, but I have to say, wasn't a huge fan of her dress. To me it was just blah.
