I live in a pretty touristy city so you'd think I'd be used by now to the fact that Americans don't think of people from other countries as people, just props.

Apparently not.

What a perfect post/icon match XD

[sovay]

Apparently not.

That's a great use of that icon, but I am sorry.

[melannen]

You are being unfair! As our Congress demonstrated on live television yesterday, many Americans also think many people from their own country are props, not people, as long as they are not the right sort of people.

You have my sympathies; I'm American, but I remember running into that phenomenon in South Korea. :]

[genarti]

Ughhhh. What grossness; I'm so sorry.

(Excellent icon use, though.)

Is this about that dreadful sounding novel that was going to use the Kosovo war as a backdrop to its (American) character's epic love story? Because yeah, that was an appalling thing to witness unfold — although, as you say, hardly the only example of this kind of thing.

[brigdh]

Yeah. I'm sorry about that, but I know it doesn't make it any better.

I was going to ask if this was about Trump's comments over the American who died in North Korea, but I see someone else in your comments has asked about a totally different self-centered American incident, which... really just reinforces your point.
