A wee bit arrogance can be a useful tool Bob but too much can be a real pain in a person. Assertiveness can sometimes be misconstrued as arrogance but in reality they are two very different things.

NANOJAMBO Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Surely has to be Americans - always complaining , always looking for a free upgrade in hotels/on planes, penny pinching. A flight in the USA is a lesson in utter arrogance at the way they carry on when they can't get their luggage in "their" overhead locker. I know that's an exaggeration but as a nation they seem to have more than their share of folks who always want something for nothing. And I've been shocked more than once at the blatant racism exhibited by some white people in restaurants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assertiveness can sometimes be misconstrued as arrogance but in reality they are two very different things. I was a big man, I wore uniform well, and because of past training had a certain swagger, which may have been perceived as arrogance,as I said in another thgread I learned quite early in life not to take any crap from anyone. My bosses were former Mounties, they were not used to being challenged and I had no fear if I thought I was being talked down to, or wrongly criticised I reacted. My background was because of job applications etc. was well known, the Chief appreciated my experience but the two deputies thought they would try me on for size. You are correct I would suggest I was assertive, but must confess had also a degree of arrogance, I guess it all depended on which Sharp you were dealing with at the time.

Jamhammer Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Canadians Nah but really. Spaniards, in particular Spanish women seem to be really annoying. Russians on holiday are really funnily rude but I've never actually been to Russia so dunno what they're like at home. As a Welshmen I have to admit that Welsh people, when drunk can be nippy but very few people when drunk aint. (Except Canadians probably) I've never met anyone from Yorkshire male or female I didn't like. Scousers are annoying as are cockneys South Africans are strange but I know a couple of decent ones Aussies are annoying Americans, I think it depends where you go. New Yorkers don't give a **** and Los Angelinos are more friendly in my experience Good and bad everywhere I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael_bolton Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Fair thread. I tend to find that people who say "People are just people" etc are people who usually haven't travelled much. I've lived in a number of different countries and have travelled pretty widely. Anyone who doesn't think that Koreans are the most arrogant people on earth has never met a Korean. It's ingrained in their culture, they are brought up to see themselves as a master race. Ask any Koreans you know, and you'll find that your average Korean (not just uneducated peasants) genuinely believes that Korean people are less inclined to cruelty and barbarism than any other race. Don't ask them how that squares with North Korea. They don't like being asked to think about that. It's not long since Korean schools stopped teaching kids explicitly that Korean people are the greatest race on earth. Now they just learn that at home. The Korean media is miles ahead of The Sun and Daily Mail when it comes to xenophobia. The best holiday destinations are in Korea. The best food is Korean food. The best language is Korean. The best democracy is Korean democracy. The kindest people are Korean people. All problems Korea has are because of 'foreigners'. Koreans will be extremely polite in conversation. That's just their culture. It's considered extremely unworthy behaviour to be openly rude. But know that they think they are better than you. Don't be fooled by east Asian politeness. It doesn't mean what westerners think it means. These cultures have a deeply ingrained arrogance that is hard to understand for the outsider.
