In that place visitors were judged solely on whether they were threat or asset under the circumstances, and those people set about making themselves assets straight away ... after a few funny incidents with language and customs, which provided amusing stories later .... there was nothing about nations or -isms or suchlike, it was just a people thing

There are xenophobes in all corners of the planet, of course ... most of us aren't though, we're just folks ... certainly the Great Machine of the US is feared and loathed to varying degree all over, such power concentrated in so few hands is to be rightly feared, but to most people in most places that does not rub off on the individual US national, until they choose to make it so ... best self-introduction in a place like that - 'i am a poor man in my own country' ... and you'd be surprised maybe at the width of world view of the pre-industrial aboriginal living in a village far from the grid .... we start out wide by nature, and get narrowed down later by nurture, maybe
