Unfortunately most of the Kiwis would probably shut the door in front of you and say “No thanks, we don’t want the stinking war-mongering Yanks!”. I can ask this out during my workplace morning tea in a small town NZ company setting, and I can guarantee this will be the case.

Some Kiwis might, but there are always a few rude drongos in every crowd. I know plenty of Americans in New Zealand and they are quite happy here, and always comment on how friendly people are here compared with the United States.
One of my mates even flies the Texas flag from his front porch, over in Morningside.
Anti-American sentiments are really only skin-deep: a way for some Kiwis to show off. There isn’t any substance to it at all.
