I think a minority of Americans travel abroad, regardless of the country and they really misunderstand the culture and the people. When a friend was in France 10 years ago or so, he was approached by a kid that told him to go home. HIs response was “if it wasn’t for men like my father you would be speaking German”. Hence the negativity some Americans may have towards some European countries. We were on a tour of Italy and several folks on our tour bus were critical of the food. Damn it’s Italy, a culinary delight. But that being said I understand we all are used to what we were brought up on. My grandparents on my mothers side immigrated from Italy in the 1900’s. We ate Italian food but my brothers and sisters enjoy almost all types of cuisine. Nothing like a burger or a grilled steak! People are pretty nice wherever you go as a general rule.
Were all from Somewhere, and all our Ancestors, are mainly from Europe! When traveling abroad, or any where Ignorance will always be abound! Children learn what they live, and that Kid, was probably raised by a scorned Father or Grand Father, that lost a female to a Soldier, that scooped up, the fair maiden during War Time! Or just believes the Fake propaganda news that he's fed!
Haters are every where!
I have Several Relatives in Italy, and we Never had a Bad meal, on many a visit! Different regions, and ways of Living, but when you travel, you have to be able to adjust to different Cultures!
That's the Fun in Traveling, it's part of the adventures!
Once Again, Different Strokes!
