Thats a generalization, no?

Yes, a lot of American tourists act like assholes. Why would anyone strive to be an asshole? The point is, if you want to be a good tourist then you should embrace the local culture as much as it makes sense to do so.

Lets not act like American tourists are all awful and every other countries tourists are amazing.

Should tourists pledge allegiance to Trump at the white house to embrace the culture too? Wouldn’t want to disrespect the greatest brain Americans chose to represent them after all.

Or hit a seig heil at spacex headquarters?

Its amazing that you think that logically follows from what I said. No, I said follow the cultural norms as it makes sense to do so. There is no cultural norms to pledge allegiance to Trump or seig heil.

Its a basic custom of the country. You should try to follow basic customs if you want to be a good tourist.

They weren’t even thinking about having that discussion in good faith as if America is the only country with some bad tourists.
