That's kind of my point... Why does being an American make you inherently better than someone else who's not?

If it's someone from another country I'll guarantee you that in 99% of the cases, they speak english a hell of a lot better than I can speak their native toungue.

Imagine travelling with this family friend in Spain. She actually thinks that speaking slow and loud (in English) will help someone who speaks no English to understand her -- especially when she knows a little Spanish?

They need to make you take cultural sensitivity training before you're granted a passport
