"Ugly American"

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ugly_American

This is a phrase that I just came across as I'm part of rather an active forum. Has anyone heard of this word/phrase. I realise this is a rather delicate subject to touch upon and there is absolutely no desire to start a political debate here but what the heck. Please go through the link and post your comments please if everyone has managed to finish sob sob the last Potter. All due respect to Americans on board.

From travel is where we can start to understand and appreciate other people's way of life, accept it without judging it, respect it and enlarge our own world vision.
