I don't know why there is a reason for this, but lately I've just hated anybody who comes from the UK, any part of Europe, or Australia. What I mean is that I hate how these new celebrities/music artists are all imported from those following 3 places and they just swarm into Hollywood and ruin America. They act like they are all hot stuff just because they left their country and are in America now. I just hate Europe...

But once you decide you hate ALL ARTISTS from a certain place, that's just boring old bigotry. Bigotry is easy. Our brains make judgement and generalizations naturally. We have to work to not be bigots. It doesn't come naturally to humans to be respectful of people we think aren't 'one of us'.
America is the biggest media market on the planet. English-speaking artists will come to America because that is where they can make the most money and reach the most audiences. It's not evil. It's basic economics.
If you wanted to be the best coal miner ever, you'd move to the city with the biggest and best coal mine. If you want to be the best/biggest actor or musician you can be, you move to New York or LA because that's the place where the work is. If they came to New York or LA and are actually getting enough work for you to notice them - then they ARE hot stuff. They have achieved something difficult and cool.
If you think people moving to America for the sake of professional success in the entertainment business are ruining America, you are expressing a deeply bigoted opinion and you should work on that. It's not nice, or reasonable, or ethical. You don't have to enjoy each of them as entertainers, but don't start making generalizations and judging everyone who shares some characteristics - like nationality or race - with an specific artist you don't like.
