Some of the Tell Tale Signs That a Tourist Traveling Abroad Is American

Exaggerating a Bit About Their Non-American Heritage

Who doesn't like to discover a little bit about their family's past? Most people who live in the US, nevertheless, didn't originate from the US in the first place (unless you have Native American ancestry). People are often ready to talk about their background and lineage in a place where many cultures mix. For example, if someone has just one individual in their family history who came from Italy or Ireland, they will say they are Italian or Irish.

If an American goes to Italy and says they are Italian when they only have one great-great-great-grandparent who was born there, it could be seen as rude.
