Google finds just 35 different pages with the word "anti-englishism".
The count says 127, but when you browse there's a line on the fourth
page saying the rest are similar pages as the ones shown. The Google
count is for all the pages.

I found 18 distinct mentions of "anti-dutchism", but at least one of
them seems to be about Ronald Reagan. One page, though, does claim
that the rise in anti-dutchism is on the increase, as evidenced by
such slanderous films as Austin Powers: Goldmember. (I haven't seen
the film, so I don't know exactly what anti-dutch slanders it
contains. And yes, it does say "the rise ... is on the increase".)

"Anti-belgianism" gets 23 distinct hits, but some of these are people
saying "nobody talks about 'anti-belgianism'", so it's hard to gauge
the depth of actual anti-belgian sentiment in the world from this
one reading.

I had a hard time finding countries that give no Google hits on
"anti-Xism". For that, I had to look for Bhutan or Luxemburg. Note:
Even anti-Luxemburgism gives five English and one French page (several
languages have "isme" instead of "ism"). However, in four of the six
the word refers to Rosa Luxemburg, and in the remaining two it is used
rhetorically, in reaction to being accused of anti-Americanism.

Why even try?
Didn't you know beforehand that America is unique?

"Anti-Rhode Island" achieves 2,540 hits; "anti-North Dakota," 286;
"anti-New Mexico," 3,070. 1,590 exist for "anti-Wyoming." I leave it
to the reader to google randomly chosen, inoffensive small towns.

Anti-Washington: about 21,500

"anti-downstate" 113
"anti-upstate" 325
"anti-panhandle" 61
"anti-upper peninsula" (Michigan) 5
"anti-lower peninsula" 1

I checked some pages, and found a lot of chauvinism, clientelism, and
Calimero attitude. Not surprising: would there really be so much
bashing going on?

Note: these are all without "ism". And probably the raw Google count,
incuding the very similar pages. "Anti-panhandle" for example, has 15
unique pages, inculding your post on Google groups.

But how about a little cheating, using non-randomly chosen names?
"Anti-Westboro". After all, the village is probably quite inoffensive.
Result: 716 non-similar pages. To play fair, I excluded these words:
baptist, church God, fags, Phelps, and got 38. Still most or all
concerning the church directly or indirectly (some people have nicks
or user names containing anti-westboro for example). It seems
impossible to seperate the village from the WBC.
Next: "Anti-Christ Church", 153 unique pages. (religous pages)
"Anti-Cristchurch", 125. (usernames, metalgroup)

The Anti Christ has His own churches?
