. Ethnocentric notions of superiority or inferiority really have no place in this discussion, it’s no better than blaming Chinese people for the virus because they have an obsession with eating exotic foods, another, very similar piece of nonsense floated earlier in this same thread.
I certainly haven’t blamed the Chinese or anyone, the fact that you take offence is fine by me.
I have travelled and lived all over the world and yes there is a difference and you have bad and good, polite people in every nationality.
Even in the states I would say on average southerners are much more polite and hospitable on average than people form New York City and Boston.
Same goes for people in Paris they are rude and hate visitors while people in the countryside are fabulous.
If you haven’t noticed this ever then you either haven’t travelled much or are not very observant.
I will stick with the fact that we Canadians are known throughput the world as being a more polite and easy going people.
Ever heard the phrase “ Ugly American” repeated all over the world.
Before you start accusing me of bashing Americans I have never done that and half my family are Americans and I have a ton of wonderful friends there, I have been going to Florida every winter for the past 30 years, so I am not reading this in a book.
