Am from Finland. If I had to answer the thread, I would have been like "oh, American tourists are usually the weirdest, but you've just gotta be patient with them, usually the people from the anglosphere are fairly chill once shit dies down. And the people from other parts of the world may have some strange customs but you've just gotta be patient with them. That's, like, the Key. Of all customer service."

It's hard being racist against a specific country when you're the first tourism destination in the world, but British really do produce a special kind of tourists.
I literally read an article just yesterday about some drunken asshole who tried to open the hatch midflight, was manhandled by the personnel and some volunteers, and then taken off the flight in Toulouse, with his mates. They were going to Spain, who seem to be plagued with that specific breed of lads, but still.

Also it's difficult to distinguish genuine racism ("brown people poo in the streets!") from xenophobia triggered by actual, repeated experience (try living in one of the most popular touristic small towns in France for a summer...)

Obviously the Brits

The city of Amsterdam has paid for adds in England to discourage Brits from coming to Amsterdam

So yea it's Brits where I'm from

As someone who lived on the northern US border for a long time this is a very easy question for me to answer without being racist haha.

The myth of Canadian politeness really stops at the border.

I live in a tourist town and can confirm, they all suck in their own ways. Also, sometimes non-tourists also suck. Also, most of the time people suck.

A tour bus full of people all from this one country is leaving a beautiful forested state park. They leave behind multiple still smoldering cigarette butts on the ground. Can you guess the country?

Fucking blue skinned motherfuckers!

Technically, it's being xenophobic, not racist

As an tourist from the USA I am disgusted when I see tourists from the USA.

It is most certainly the lizard people. They are the worst by far.

That's not a racist question, IMO. Like, I'd say British. I guess it depends on the country. And both Britain and my country are predominantly white.

That people came in with racist responses doesn't mean the question itself is racist.

Race is not the same as nationality, however it's a difficult one because your examples Chinese and Indian are also perceived as ethnicities.

The question is a bit pointless anyway as the place itself will help determine who are the worst groups.

For example in this thread people are talking about British tourists - but in reality that is a subset of generally young and less well off British tourists who go to the Mediterranean - especially Spain but not exclusively - for cheap package holidays and party drunkardly. Meanwhile British tourists who go to other parts of Europe (families, wealthier tourists etc) or the rest of the world do not have that reputation.

Personally I don't live in a tourist hot-spot now so tourists aren't a problem. When I lived in London, the answer was generally European tourists but only because there were so many of them compared to other groups and they'd stand around in the middle of busy pavements blocking other people trying to get around. Worst was blocking Tube entrances. But far better than drunkardly vomiting and pissing all over the street I guess.

Honestly its always been the British where I live. Gets drunk and tries to pick fights on the street.

Now. Most British tourists are great. Its just of all the tourists that cause problems, its usually the Brits.

Judge me if you wish. Thats just been my experince.

I once saw a woman screaming at the receptionist of an internet cafe cause she was being charged for two time slots, rather than one. She had exceeded her time by like 10 minutes. It was not much money they were fighting over. She just felt entitled to pay less, cause it was not her intention to exceed this threshold.

This was in Thailand and the woman was an American.

This is essentially a thinnly-veiled "Which nationality are the worst people?", thinnly-veiled racism.

American isn't a race.

Anyone who travels with an entitled attitude sucks.

I've met people from all over the world that fit that description.

Assholes aren't just from one place

It's rage baiting engagement tactics

Here in Taiwan, it's is the Chinese. But I can't blame them. It's their culture.

It's the norm to have your child defecate in a park in China. Or spend a solid 5 minutes extracting toilet paper from bathroom. Or if someone accidentally dropped change, to scramble and pick it up from the ground and say it's now their money because it was on the ground.

These where the things I saw before the Chinese were banned here. The last one was me dropping the change.

In the US it's the Chinese tourists who are the most disrespectful

Why is there an assumption of nationality = ethnicity?

People act the way they act as a reflection of their environment and society, not race.

Would you say you are behaving the same as a mainlander?

Here it's the British

As a British person, I am usually embarrassed to see other Brits when abroad dont get me wrong were not all terrible people but when you encounter a certain type of Brit tourist. Ugh
