In elitist minded America, it is all about how much you have achieved and how much money and material things you have. It is also about how attractive and fashionable you are especially when you are younger. America is an extremely competitive country. Everything is about speed and rush, rush, rush. You feel you can never move fast enough or catch up. Americans are often unfriendly, snobby, uncaring, cold, impatient, and rude. Some are mean. It is the way it is and you eventually get used to it. It is big city and upscale suburban culture. It is not racism.

Administration people are the same everywhere! You should see them in the US! They're rude, they think they are very important and most of the times they are ignorant. But my advice is do not confront them, let them believe what they want as long as you get what you need.

"Each individual is important." Yes. We use to call each person "citizen" and hope to be all treated as equals. The "customer is king" does not exist. If the customer is impolite. (S)He is the one making a crass and disrespectful mistake whether they pay or not. Politeness, "hello/goodbye/Mr./Mrs/ Please/Thank you", looking in the eye when you speak etc is for everyone.

It´s definitely not offensive to say that a person reminds you of someone else that you know and if this person took offence, then they have a problem! Maybe they also did not like that you found them to be similar to someone in the US. The French still have some hostility towards British and Americans and do not like to be compared with them. But again, this is not your problem and it is their problem. It´s not good to take oneself too seriously and the French need to get to grips with that. The French, and again generalizing, because ofcourse not all French people have the same mentality, but overall, they many of them are still not that open-minded and most of them have been trained to be quite conservative in their thinking from an early age. Nothing wrong with adapting the use of the croissant! It´s called innovation. French people also can make things very complicated on purpose and for no good reason and unfortunately they get away with this in many companies and organizations and this is highly unprofessional. This needs to change.

Once I had a Professor, just because I did not listen to him in class, he went to stereotype all the Asian students in his class. Whenever other students asked him a question, he would be patient. But when it came to Asian students, he would always go "YOU NEED TO FOCUS". I still remember it to this day

Some professors are like that with White students also. They just decide they don't like some students for whatever reasons. Some professors are crazy.

Asians have always been very well accepted in France, they are polite, discreet people who rarely cause problems. They have their culture, we have ours, and they never try to impose it on us, any more than their religion. We respect each other, so we live on good terms. This is unfortunately not the case for all foreigners, some try to impose their way of life, their religion on us and this is not tolerated by the French. Asians NEVER do this.

Nice personal experience sharing 😊 I agree with most of your points, especially on customer service. It is mostly either awful or average and when it is great, it blows your mind off as uncommon it is 😂😂😂😂 There is a French word, you can look up regarding the arrogance of some French individuals, it is called 'chauvinisme', thing you don't experience much in Belgium or Switzerland.
