Compare this example of the ugly American traveler stereotype attitude: Look at those lazy otherpeople who can't be bothered to learn my language to communicate with a visitor like me under my very specific cultural standards they don't even have the civilization to learn about, and look at their dumb clothes, and their wrong beliefs are so stupid and out of date compared to my modern ones from back home, somebody outta clean this dump up wait till tumblr hears about this, why did I come here to visit as a tourist anyway.
No matter how its implemented or who implements it, its always ugly, and frankly not very polite.
I think everyone agrees no matter how uncouth and uncivilized a tourist acts, its not acceptable for the local thugs to intimidate the tourists, two wrongs never make a right. That has to be tempered with endless propaganda of "I visited Mexico, drank the water and got the runs, now everyone must feel sorry for me and join me in the two minutes hate for Mexico" isn't frankly an interesting story. No, I don't have to care.
Another excellent example is how do people respond when they go to the zoo and the elephant exhibit is overflowing with stinky poo? Whats most likely to result in the long run in non-smelly elephant exhibit? Compare and contrast with what feels better on the internet, whats a trendy and popular behavior to lash back?
