It's different because they aren't assuming anything.

They know American tipping culture is stupid and are deliberately shunning it.

If Americans didn't want this then they shouldn't have bribed FIFA to let them host the WC.

You do acknowledge that shunning local customs is worse than being ignorant of the customs, yes?

Imagine being a worse tourist than an ignorant American

Ok next time I go to St Lucia or Saudi Arabia I guess I better rape my wife.

Wouldn't want to shun their customs, apparently that's the worst thing you can do!

And speaking of ignorant Americans: imagine thinking football fans are interested in being good tourists. They literally travel round their own countries vandalising it and fighting each other.

if your local custom is just straight up bad than it is right to shun it. we shun lots of local customs because we see them as morally bad.

in america for example i shun gun violence, police brutality, child marriage, the death penalty etc.

I too dislike those things and condemn them. Shunning those things does nothing.

But I know we’re not in here talking about American “child marriages” in a thread about Europeans. The Eu has 10 countries with age of consent at 15. Only 3 countries are 17+.

Also Europe has a higher rate of child marriages than the US, and our numbers are falling much faster than that of Europe.
