[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nimrod: [QB] A common source of prejudice often comes from people who have experienced american tourists. I have seen americans who get extremely obnoxious and bigmouthed when visiting other countries, mine for instance, and I know why too. In most cases the person(s) are not jerks by nature, but when one leaves his/her own country to visit another, it's very common to feel out of one's element, exposed, vulnerable. "Nationalism" (in that you compare certain elements in this new culture with your own and find your own more comfortable) and insecurity can go up quite a few notches. I have met both enlightened americans and stupid ones, so I know there's more than meets the eye. And sometimes there isn't. :) It's the same with us swedes, we can be pretty nasty party people on vacations and such. Also, germans are wonderful people when you go visit them in Germany. But when they come to Sweden and 'partay' I have seen some of them that really scared me. ;) Hope I made any sense. [/QB][/QUOTE]
