\\\"It seems like it might be the other way around. The good-natured Flavor 1 is likely to be more culturally sensitive and likely to exhibit a Cultural Cringe and do the whole \\\"pretend you\\\'re Canadian\\\" routine. The more brash and disrespectful Type 2 that would be the rude tourist would be more likely to not care and just say they were American.\\\"
Yikes. {{Unfortunate Implications}} ahoy.
So, not caring what others think, and not being ashamed of your country enough to deny from being there automatically makes you a rude, brash Type 2? It seems as though the poster is insinuating that \\\"good\\\" Americans (Type 1) exhibit the {{Cultural Cringe}} (i.e., hate their own country), and \\\"bad\\\" Americans (Type 2) are the ones who are proud to be from it. I was abroad a few years ago (Japan, to be specific); I never even \\\'\\\'considered\\\'\\\' pretending to be from Canada, and never expressed disgust with my country\\\'s policies or culture. Does that somehow make me a bad person? Is it impossible for an American tourist to be culturally sensitive and patriotic at the same time?
I don\\\'t think this belongs on the main page.
