Sensitive Americans.

Is it just me or do Americans seem more sensitive now a days. You can't say anything without people taking it so personal. For example, me and my friend were talking and I said I hated someone and she got all upset and said I shouldn't hate people and that hats is a strong word and how I would feel if some said they hated me. I could honestly care less if someone hated me.😂 There's millions of people in the world, why would I get all sensitive if one person hated me. Maybe it's just me. What do you think? Are Americans too sensitive?
