****holes are ****holes regardless of country of origin and what passport they carry.
I've lived in London and Paris and felt sorry for the tourists. I can be ashamed to be English by going into Leeds or Manchester whenever there is a football match on. I can be ashamed to be on two or three wheels when I see the local sportsbike crowd trying to kill themselves by breaking as many traffic laws as possible. I wished I didn't turn wearing a certain style of jacket at the bike rally where a group of BM GS's brought identical tents by car and then refused to ride onto the field because of the mud.
I find it easier to simply talk to people and show I am not a rude Parisien/London waiter, a football hooligan, an insane power ranger sportsbike rider or a stuck up **** on a BMW. I hope I give people the same benefit of the doubt.
I have also pretended to be Dutch, but that's because riot police of any nationality usually aren't in a mood to talk and it was going to make their life easier as well as mine.
