Smug and overconfident. Especially applies to White American men. I work in engineering consulting and it constantly amazes me how comfortable they are listening to the sound of their own voices and being wrong or inaccurate more than 50% of the time.

"I'm french, italian, spanish, portuguese and serbian" **Born and raised in Connecticut, never left the state, only speaks english and maybe took a 23andme test** Or "You're french ? I'm french too ! My great great ... great grandmother was in Paris one time when she was a toddler !"

Based on my personal experience: “I don’t understand why no one here speaks English” - In a foreign country where actually a lot of people do speak English although not at a native level. Also “You guys have no customer service” just because Karens in my country don’t get free food.

They make a huge fuss over your accent. I was in London and some American tourists asked for directions, I told them and they were like ‘you sound so British!’ and even called his friend over to marvel at my accent. Like, dude you’re *in* England. What do you expect? The people aren’t a f*****g museum attraction

Talks about “freedom” like it’s an exclusive American privilege and not the bare minimum for a good chunk of the world.

Most Americans I meet are some of the friendliest, polite people. That being said, they are unmistakably loud and over-sharey of personal details. Also they should know that the customer is not always right, that service industry jobs are respectable occupations, and asking for ketchup is a dead giveaway.
