Do you get annoyed by the attitude of some European tourists?
During my road trip around the US, I noticed a higher than normal concentration of Europeans in the Southwest. Especially towns like Moab, Page, Kanab, etc.
One time in a hotel, the breakfast area was full of French, Germans, Dutch etc and it just felt so uncomfortable because they would not stop staring. And often times, in a judgmental way. Apparently it's a thing, especially in Germany (google the German stare),.
Then today I saw a reel about a Ukrainian woman saying she was so happy to be in America because she can finally go out and not be judge. She compared it to France where she lived where everyone just STARES at you or grimaces at the way you dress and says in the US no one cares how you look. Everyone just lets each other be.
I was just wondering y'all's opinion since you live in a very heavy Eurocentric tourist hub!!
