People are fundamentally the same regardless of where they live, and anyone that judges anyone else based on their nationality is being an ignorant jackass. I handle it as such with the appropriate tact for the situation – most people are cool.

I tell them I’m an American when asked.

They are correct and I’m not happy about that fact.
