it's a self selecting audience

the Euros who come over to the USA this summer are wealthier than most Euros

to afford plane fare, tickets, hotels, rental cars, week of restaurants.

the Euros who come over here do not hate the USA as much as many other Euros- who chose not to visit the USA.

the Euros who come over here are not the vast multitudes of Islamists who don't like soccer

Bummer. Wish they'd all stay in Europe instead of coming here.

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could… pic.twitter.com/8Zf2QJurTM

USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

If you have ever traveled to Europe you will discover...

European locals often harbor negative feelings towards American tourists, particularly those from the East and West Coast of America ; however, it is worth noting that Americans tend to contribute significantly to the local economy through their spending.

---

And Coloradans hate Texans
Locals don't like tourists because the locals are having to share the natural beauty of home and getting paid helps but still the tourist is a pain in the a$$

I only visit Colorado in the winter and I have rarely experienced the dislike you described.
