I just spent 2 1/2 weeks in Poland, Switzerland, and Germany. First, I saw lots of Americans traveling. And second, whenever someone asked me where I was visiting from and I told them California, they were all nice and seemed happy that I was there, and I never got the stink eye. I think it’s assumed that most Trumpers aren’t interested in foreign travel, plus California has a different reputation from the rest of America. Also, I was also there to meet extended family and visit ancestral places.
That Australian guy on DL who says Americans shouldn’t travel now because we are hated is full of shit

OP is Steven Miller, enjoying his visits to very white places where the genetics are the best!

OP is determined we're all going to hear about his travels because he is IMPORTANT.

The first two comments are hilarious but I suspect the OP is NOT white and thus treated differently. He was perceived as American American.

In Europe now. They love us. And our money.
The only negative comment was from some dbag who moved from Newark to Vienna.

r4 How can OP not be white, what with those being his ancestral places? Unless there was an Angola detour we haven't yet heard about for some reason.

Those who shouldn't travel know who they are. I am having a nice time in Mexico at the moment. Airports are quiet and tranquil. I love it.

R7 The op could be any race just with European ancestry. He could black American, Caribbean, Latino. What’s your point?

As long as you don’t act like assholes it’s fine. Lots of Americans as still visiting Canada and nobody minds. We understand not everybody loves Orangina and voted for him. Lots of us have American family who are terrified of what is happening.

My point is, he hasn't mentioned any of that other background in any of his other threads. Why would you even default to OP being mixed when the simplest explanation is that he's just European white. You know, like the majority of Americans?

We're just being polite; take heed.

I think r9 might be operating under the illusion (delusion?) that DL is a more colourful place than it really is. But from all the demo polls we've run over the decades, we're 99% white here.

Op please state your primary ethnicity or race in which you identify.

But OP started a thread about his Polish heritage?

Australia has much in common with America. A former penal colony, it's native population raped and pillaged. They even had their own orange who embarrassed them and who they got rid of, ASAP.

Partially true. I get a chilly or somewhat hostile reception until I mention I live in California. Adding SF or LA, both cities I have or do live in now definitely increases the weloming attitude.

Australians are the most insecure people on the planet. I simply never listen to them

I think I remember the Australian guy. He seemed to be under the impression that Americans never travel internationally.

Agree it’s always good to say you’re from California when abroad. And the opposite is true in the U.S.
I’ve traveled plenty this year, and haven’t noticed any different demeanors.
