Im here to express my rage against some US tourists attitude at Rio's beaches. They are extremely rude against Brazilian people, saying we are a bunch of monkeys and whores. Also they speak very loud, assuming that no one will understand what they say. Well, me and my friend understood everything and we have to move away from them as we felt sick with what we had to listen from this guys. If you North Americans tourists really think that bad of us, what are they doing here? Why don't they spend their summer holidays somewhere else? We don't need them here. GO AWAY!

Too many Americans believe they are something great when they are not.
They still shite their pants when they get scared... just like anyone else.

Its an idea of American Exceptionalism. Alot of Americans believe that no matter what the rest of the world owes us and that nothing we do is wrong. We also expect that everyone to speak english and we refuse to learn you language or your culture. Most Americans also have no idea about geography, history, or culture and feel that everything should fit in to our small world view. I feel ashamed when I call myself an American.
However, you do need us. Without our dollars from tourism, Brazil would be hurting. A lot of your GDP is based off American Tourist and Manufacturing Dollars.
