I do believe that's the response you get, people do like to assume the worst. Do you have any solid proof that any hostile response you get is from Americans? I'm still very skeptical it's a problem specific to one nation.

It’s far from unique to the US, people from India, France, China, and Russia often despise seeing outside criticism as well and they comprise over half the population of earth. And it’s mostly the topic of conversation and time of day. Were you not to have identified as American earlier, I’d have assumed you to be German or British at this hour.

🤷 As far as I'm concerned, as long as people are laughing with me and not at me I don't give a shit. I can't speak for the rest of my countrymen though.
