If we were a country devoid of people who appreciated art and understood it's value then we simply wouldn't have a place for it in our society at all. The fact that there is so much of it in our everyday lives means that saying Americans do not appreciate art is simply untrue.
Appreciating its value is nice. Unfortunately, it is not in our everyday lives. The vast majority of Americans don't know art, architecture, history or language. They know fast food, modernist architecture (even tho they don't know what they are looking at), trailer parks, sitcoms and whatever is in the National Enquirer.
You are doing nothing but reinforcing negative stereotypes.
I am doing no such thing. Stereotypes, as politically incorrect as this may sound, are generally based on truth. And stereotypes are what the opinions of those who dislike Americans are based upon.
And it's people like you that focus on the few bad tourists while ignoring the huge majority of good tourists that allow that ugly image of Americans to remain prevalent.
While there are good Americans, I believe that even those here who complain about Americans have friends among us, the vast majority are slovenly and ignorant.


thanks
