That reminds me of the (apparently real) complaint by a British couple vacationing in Spain, who were outraged that nobody had told them so many people would be speaking Spanish. 😀

It's not even that deep. "I'm voting right because I hate immigrants". And by "immigrant" they mean "not white".

They don't like integration, they like America. In their eyes immigrants will never be American regardless of how they act, they just think the American way of life is the only acceptable way of life, regardless of location.

Can't believe a colonial settler would say and think like this

I don't think it's a valid fallacy since there would be a whole different set of issues if to many millionaire immigrants came to America and not learn the "culture".

Last year we visited Portugal and one of our friends there takes care of holiday homes. He said that Portugal aparently is a trending locaction for US-Americans right now and everyone in their business fucking hate the US-American tourists because they treat them like they are some kind of sub-human. And also because they are fucking stupid and incapable of doing simple things.

I mean, if you visit a different country, at least have a bit of respect.

Pom choop kon Thai.

The irony writes itself… rules for others, exceptions for me 😅

It's not specified but I'm pretty sure that not many Americans actually care about Thailand as an expat location, they would probably dream of something in central or South America.

Now British on the other hand... you can just vaguely point at any country that ever so happened to touch the British empire lol.

I would much rather deal with the typical American tourist than a British tourist. There's a difference between ignorance and arrogance.
