I have never encountered any boorish Americans on my travels, or in my own country. Quite the opposite, my impression of Americans is that they are polite and friendly.
well u christians have no shame in disrespecting hinduism buddism why cry if others do the same what u do to them u call hindu gods demonic if u have no shame in abusing others u have no right to cry if others do it to u
Yes of course they were insulted! Who would do that in his right mind? The Chinese tourists must have tourist guides don´t they? Its the lady in the front with a little flag
I am European and I do not dislike americans or know anyone who dislikes americans per se. Actually I find Americans very friendly and easy to talk to.
Another problem that annoys us Berliners, is young Americans ( Probably due to your strange puritanical drinking laws) knocking back strong German beer and getting rapidly VERY drunk and often obnoxious.
The problem is a sub cultural problem in the states. If your an American that's not catholic or orthodox and you enter a church and treat it as a museum with a hat on or revealing clothing it's offensive in the states too.
Most tourists misbehave a lot in Amsterdam, where I live. Behaving as if it's a theme park, and mistakenly thinking that spending money justifies their behaviour. Staying away is the best option, as there is already extreme overtourism. If still going to visit, then leave the city a lot cleaner than you found it, talk softly at all times, and be extremely respectful. Only use a bicycle if you are very experienced and know and respect the rules, such as not cycling on sidewalks and not in pedestrian areas.
@zzzowie I've never been to Amsterdam, but let's be honest. I have traveled to Europe and have had to work there over the years. I have seen plenty of young men, both Americans and Europeans, misbehaving and have seen the police get involved.
Come.on, I am Dutch and hardly ever sae misbehaviour by Americans. They are usually the ones visiting museums or Anne Frank home. Some young men from UK and few other nations gertdrunk and take drugs cause more problems imo. But many locals justify drug taking and thus violent drug trade and you just blame small group of tourists?
@zzzowie you need to ask your government why Amsterdam is treated like a theme park? We all know why? Because your government want tourisn dollars. Don't the Dutch people bear some responsibility for voting in elected officials who want those tourism dollars and tax revenue?
Wearing any kind of hat in restaurants in Europe is offensive and considered stupid and boorish. Advice to Americans: Don't introduce yourself as 'merican with a tone that suggests you own the world. Say the city you are from and your state. If Texans can do it, so can you and it's way better than 'merica.
The intro question is wrong from the begining. Noone doesn't dislike anyone. It's the certain behavior and lack of respect that people MAY dislike. And if an American is in the QUIET car in the train, and shouts and laughs their ass off with a colleague there, they cannot expect people will like it. And that's an example taken from life. Italians are also loud people. Polish also love to swear. French tend to smoke in public areas. And they are not disliked, but while the behavior is inacceptable, they may meet consequences. Eg in Poland wrong behavior around wrong people may end up in being beat up 😅 It doesn't matter you're American. So, be respectful. And it will be okay. 😊🎉
Nationalism is not welcome nowhere - Patriotism is something else, if you are proud and nice - you are welcome. If your Nationalism shows that you are above others, you are not welcome. The lack of education and respect is not welcome. I love America, lived and studied there. Americans are mostly very welcome in Europe. But everybody follows the daily politics in the US. We know what is going on.
@bavariancarenthusiast2722 Well, first off, if you are watching your mainstream news, maybe not. We don't have have Nationalism in the u.s. it's called patriotism. Nationalism in Europe is connected at times with blood and soil. This is not possible in the U.S. for obvious reasons. It's not really a criticism per se. It's just a reality. Let's face it, if you're a person of Pakistani descent in the U.S. and believe in the constitution of the United States, and you ethnic identity is of less importance than being American you are an american 100% . But let's be honest, if you're a descent of Egyptians, you are never really French, just a French citizen.
@@user-wx1uv7vf5r Yes good point! But there is a strong movement calling itself nationalist: "American ideology. Christian nationalists in the United States advocate "a fusion of identitarian Christian identity and cultural conservatism with American civic belonging." It has been noted to bear overlap with Christian fundamentalism, white supremacy, the Seven Mountain Mandate movement, and dominionism." They are not welcome.
