I'm an American wishing to see Europe. Will I be insulted and treated harshly?

I'm 25 and will be graduating from college in a couple of months and I would really like to travel to Europe. I haven't had the ability to travel very much due to my education and the fact that I don't come from a rich family. When I graduate, I will have enough money to travel Europe and would really like to go. Here's the problem, I'm from Texas and from what I understand there is a strong disdain for Americans (especially Texans) throughout Europe. I'm well read, listen to punk rock, watch foreign films, appreciate British humor and can find France on map so I'm not your stereotypical fat, dumb American. I actually consider myself Texan over American (Texans have a strange sense of pride for their state). A friend of mine from France said I shouldn't have too many problems in Europe since I do not fit the stereo type of an American. Anyway, what do you guys think? I don't want to visit a place where I'll be ridiculed for being from a certain place.
