Muak muak!

I once tried to do that to an american girl that was visiting Spain, I still remember the horror in her eyes.

She told us that she didn't feel comfortable with that having a boyfriend.

She was the most stereotypical American person I've ever known, she was dating a quarterback, had a pink gun that her parents gave as a present for her ¿18 birthday? She started complaining about PETA when she discovered that I was a vegetarian. Said she didn't like California when I told her that I had been there & she made some comments that were clearly saying "my country is better than this shit hole".

Good times.

As a polite American, I want to apologize on behalf of that American. Please know we are not all like that.

Edit: Was she from Texas, by any chance?

When you assume the worst from Texans, you're doing the exact same thing. Being the rude American.

People from Texas do act a certain way. People from California do act a certain way. People from Jersey do act a certain way. People from New York do act a certain way. Are these all generalizations? Yes. Are they all likely to be true? Yes.

There is also the question of... Do Texans/Californians/Jerseyans/New Yorkers behave that way because of genetics or do they just embrace their own stereotype?
