    I don’t think they’re wrong, either. Some Americans do seem to think that foreigner means “not from the US”.

        There most certainly are, yet for some reason there is only one flag on this sign 😁

        I’m certainly not generalizing, but you can’t deny that the US has its own weaponized brand of stupid.

          It’s because it’s in Canada. Lots of US travellers.

          According to this article, Americans travel the most. The countries that travel the most are wealthy nations, and America is by far the most populated of them, and wealthiest, so it makes sense they’re top.

          Maybe that’s the reason?

            I don’t think that’s a good enough reason to justify why they’re having to point out to Americans specifically that they’re foreigners when they are in other countries.

            I lived in a tourist town for a year. Americans are definitely easy to pick out, because they have this attitude like 90 percent of the time.

            Your link isn’t loading for me, but does it account for factors such as Americans have drastically less vacation time than other Western nations and often traveling to other states instead of abroad? Most Americans don’t even have a passport.
