...you can be run over by a car, be bitten by a dog or a monkey or a gecko regardless of your nationality. To give you a more serious answer: I think you will be a safe as anybody else in Bali. I've been to Bali every year since 2004 and is sitting in Ubud now. I have never heard of any hostility against americans specifically (except from some of the french, of course). What are the reasons your friends/relatives give you for not going?
