Do any of you refuse to go to other countries because you are afraid of how you'll be treated as a tourist American?

no other than the middle east

Well, I wouldn't go to France, because I'm pretty sure the French hate everyone. However, if I was going to travel to another country, I would just put some Canadian flag pictures on my backpack or something.

I'm pretty sure I would NEVER go to a "third world" country and possibly NEVER to France, as I understand the French HATE Americans!
-
No I don't go because I'm Broke!

that's a thought that has NEVER crossed my mind ... if i am worried about how a country's population would treat me, why would i give them my money??? FEAR has nothing to do with it ...

I have never been mistaken for an American, let alone a US citizen. I am sure that the vast majority of Americans do not harbour these feelings. That some US citizens do so is apparent by your question.

I am too poor to go to a foreign country and I hate other people that do go.

I'm not American but I've seen quite a few American tourists in Europe and I have never seen them treated any differently to other foreigners. Also I've never seen any American tourists whose behaviour would tend to make them be treated badly.

Depends. I personally don't care about the country's inhabitants, I wouldn't want to go to a country only if I felt like I owed something to the country. For example, I'm italian, but was raised in japanese culture and I feel like I wouldn't want to go to the country until I am not a tourist american, not for the sake of the people's image of me, but because I don't want to be what I dislike. Its not about the people. Its about my own self-respect. I want to tell my self when I go to sleep that I am a respectable person who has worked hard to respect and honor the cultures of my life that I cherish.

I don't refuse, I am just too broke to go. I would hope that I would not be treated badly just because I am an American. I can see why foreigners mistreat anyone who comes to their country and acts rude, disrespectful, and as if they are entitled to special privileges.
