Only in Africa: Archetypal Ugly American Visitor Disrespects Uganda

This dude is a psycho who snapped plain and simple.

Anyone who rants about "ugly American" tourists hasn't actually traveled much. Yes, there are ugly Americans but the phenomenon is not restricted to Americans. Ever run into a group of Russian or Australian tourists? Wow. Different from each other but ugly aspects, but of course not all individuals are rude, with all groups a few jerks can make the group look bad.

I'm 99% sure that guy is a rabid SJW and voted for Hillary.

Sometimes I think Africans, especially East Africans, are too nice. No where else in the world would such behaviour by foreigners be tolerated.

If I had posted something like this with the colours reversed, no doubt there would be dozens here screaming racist at me, and Weldon would send me an e-mail telling me I've been banned.

I rarely even post in any of the threads here that do discuss immigration or Islamic terrorism etc. But because I correctly called out the horrendous scale of Kenyan doping months before it finally started to become fully revealed with the recent busts, I'm a bigot and a racist.

Nobody respects any country in Africa.

Not because of that. And all the evidence is still on the boards.

They should really try and attract a more peaceful clientele. A cartoon of Mohammad in the lobby should do it.

He's clearly not American if you heard him talk, you racist POS. Go back to your village.

The man is American according to the Government of Uganda.

He took his retardation to our continent.

When Kenyans engage in their quinquennial sport of clobbering each other over elections, they NEVER attack foreigners. Xenophobia never factors. Ask the million plus Somali, Ethiopian, South Sudanese, Congolese, Ugandan, Rwandese, Eritrean and Burundian refugees currently living in the country.

Kinda proof that you're not Kenyan given how racist you are.

Trollism,

DOn't be like this hooligan from South Carolina or wherever it is that he comes from. When you call someone a name, you'd better offer evidence or just shut up!

Donald Trump is misogynistic. Would you like some evidence?

Drunk, very ill-behaved, and an air of superiority. He desecrated Jesus more than anyone, and idiots like him are the reason people don't like Christianity. But to call him the quintessential "ugly-American" is ridiculous. I've traveled all over the world and never run into a fool like him.

The most amazing thing about that video is that the guy is still standing at the end of it.

Incredible self control from the dude in the dark shirt.

This guy is a disgrace and should be arrested and deported.

See how easy that was to condemn someone from your own country?

You should try it sometime.

Ironically, Jimmy is there as a member of the Peace Corps.

So if I found a video of a Kenyan acting poorly, I would be justified in posting it and making judgements about all Kenyans? Sorry, but you don't sound very smart.

That depends. Do Kenyans have a reputation for boorish, ignorant and offensive behaviour around the world? Apart from here on Letsrun and anti-Obama brigade, are Kenyans disliked abroad?

I do agree though there has to be more to this story as it seems very odd this guy would choose to spend the time and money it takes to get to Uganda.

Only uninformed Letsruners would think Uganda has no viable tourist attractions. Western Uganda borders Congo's world famous Virunga National park, meaning it shares that ecosystem. The Congo along with Uganda and Rwanda, are the only three countries in the world where mountain gorillas can be seen in the wild.

Good point. Obviously, there is some precedent of Americans acting out abroad, but Wtfer has a point as well when he says it doesn't represent all Americans. Letsrun is not a good sample of Americans, as I'm sure you know. However, while reputations and stereotypes may be wrong, the US isn't exactly working to shake them.

Unfortunately, this (a poor reputation) is what happens when you elect someone like Trump. Regardless of political party, it says something about a country (especially "the leader of the free world) and its inhabitants when the leader and figurehead they elect is someone who brags about sexually violating women, makes repeated and obvious "dog whistle racism" comments, refers to an entire continent as a "sh*thole", and claims one of the world's largest religions should be banned from immigrating. You're going to get backlash. He has managed to offend most of the world with his comments in some way, and hasn't truly proved he's fit to hold his job as far as domestic or foreign policy goes. That's not to say he doesn't deserve it, as he was elected by the public, but it's the truth.

As far as Kenyans abroad, I'm not sure how many Americans know anything about Kenya (and as a student I get to observe people demonstrating their lack of knowledge). To be honest, if you asked average Americans, you'd probably get answers about starving African babies, safaris, poor education, tribal stereotypes, and distance running.
