It is incidents like this, that will strengthen negative perceptions of Americans. Or in this case, of Canadians.  |
That is my point. A few, very few, bad apples have spoiled the whole bunch. We aren't all like that. In fact, I would say the majority are the opposite. I would love to visit Europe and experience the culture where ever I go. I was supposed to go on a business trip to Germany a few years ago and tried to teach myself German so I communicate with people. I wanted to blend in, not stand out. I never got to go however. It is sad. I will be judged if I ever travel overseas before anyone even knows me just because I am American.
