We are particularly oblivious for sure. We are isolated, by design, even from eachother. It doesn't help that the u s is a massive country. Mindfulness is not really our strong suit, and the people traveling are usually the more privileged among us Americans.

I was talking to a woman who travels a bunch and she was complaining about how the world saw us, all while telling a story that was super cringe, prime example, of this behavior, and "omg the way they treated me"...I could do nothing but roll my eyes tbh
