    Americans, stop thinking their accents sound smart! Look! Just look! They’re as stupid as us! And drunker, which is fine, but still! We are the only country that still takes them seriously!

      Though to be fair, I think the study would yield similar results to pretty much every country.

          Not all of them.

            Not all of them.

            Scottish football fans are usually very fun in Germany, united in hate for the English.

            Depends on the destination. In Tijuana it’s probably Americans. In the Mediterranean it can be hard to avoid the prejudice a certain type of tourists have created for themselves.

              It probably depends. Like a Briton going to Asia is probably a different type of Briton than one going to Benidorm
