While this wasn’t the first or last incident where I sighted discourteous,illmannered,rude Americans in China,each produced similar feelings.First,I was embarrassed that someone from my country was creating a negative impression of Americans.My second reaction was a desire to apologize.I wanted them to explain to the Chinese woman and her child,the German couple next to them,and everyone nearby that this was not typical American behavior.I wanted them to know “we” were all not like that.
I never got to explain,or to apologize.Language differences made that option impossible,and rational thinking made it inappropriate.And it turned out not to be a need.The German caught my eyes with a bit of headshaking,smiling and eye rolling,which I returned,and it was clear that he knew we were Americans and was expressing that there was “no need” to apologize for “universal idiot behavior”.
