im not surprised.
every (out of 10 or so) brit ive met overseas and had a good chat with out over the last 3 years of being an expat has been a neurotic and/or belligerent asshole whereas most of the americans (out of 20) were able to communicate and assimilate with the local culture.
its become such a pattern that i wont even speak english to a person with a british accent anymore. quite a few of them are just looking for physical fights. so strange.
and thats the end of my n=30 overseas brits and americans anecdote.

- mahyarm 10y agoDepends on your expat crowd and reason. The british expats to NYC and SF are usually educated H1B immigrant types and are very pleasant people. The expat who goes to south east asia to retire on their blue collar pension might be a different kind of person.
