Well said...and so sad. There is the ugly American who has no interest in other cultures and countries, who believes in American Exceptionalism, and the other ugly American who doesn’t want to learn about our history, civics, or to engage in critical thinking that would enlighten them about undeniable facts.

Another thing I learned about Americans while living abroad is that there is a laziness in our country. A selfishness. A lack of work ethic. And yes, there were always some 'ugly Americans' to be found abroad who were not interested in the cultural experience of living and traveling abroad at all. That was sad, too.
