I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to justify why they’re having to point out to Americans specifically that they’re foreigners when they are in other countries.

I lived in a tourist town for a year. Americans are definitely easy to pick out, because they have this attitude like 90 percent of the time.

We are particularly oblivious for sure. We are isolated, by design, even from eachother. It doesn't help that the u s is a massive country. Mindfulness is not really our strong suit, and the people traveling are usually the more privileged among us Americans.

I was talking to a woman who travels a bunch and she was complaining about how the world saw us, all while telling a story that was super cringe, prime example, of this behavior, and "omg the way they treated me"...I could do nothing but roll my eyes tbh
