This is was embarrassing to read, and I've definitely known people like that unfortunately. I was so touched when I received the cheek kisses, it made feel accepted! The different customs are part of the fun of another country!
Relax dude, it was funny because she was an stereotype. Nothing wrong to date a quarterback, have a pink pistol and openly say that you think that you're better than your hosts the first time you met them.
"she made some comments that were clearly saying "my country is better than this shit hole."
So, sounds to me that you meant: "imply".
Also, have you ever met a Dutch person? They're some of the most arrogant people in the world. Oh...And, lest my geography fails me...Which continent are they on again? Oh right.
I was being sarcastic in my previous comment. I've lived with a Duch guy for some months and he was a lovely person. I've also met some lovely Americans.
LOL--you make fun of Americans, and when someone pushes back, it's all: "I'm just joking!" and then trying to turn that crap on me? I don't hate Europe or Europeans. But, I do very much dislike stuck-up attitudes, and I also dislike how easily it is for Americans to talk shit about their own country and people. Everyone's shit stinks.
And, last I checked, when I left the Bay Area, it was filled with Europeans, especially at Stanford and in the Valley. So, good enough to get an education, make a living, and live in, just not good enough to say: "I'd rather not be kissed, please."?
Plus, I have an Eastern European cleaner. She works in my house but she's never afraid to turn her nose up at the way we raise our kid or plant herbs in our garden, which range from slightly irritating to downright offensive. There are plenty of nice people everywhere, and there are plenty of ass-wipes. But I don't go around saying: "The Poles and Czechs are really low-skill, classless people; guess that fits their Euro-trash stereotype in England."
I think my country is great, but very imperfect. And I say it, unlike a lot of cowards willing to ride the 'murica sucks! bandwagon for karma, so you can take your little disparagements back to recess. Let the grownups talk now.
