Friends who are anti-American?

Ugh, I traveled with a friend who was like that while we were abroad.  Not so much saying she was special and different, but mostly going on about how she hated people knowing that we were American and didn't want to be classed as that.  I refuse to be ashamed because I am American, hopefully people will get to know me and judge me on my behavior and actions.

I x-posted while these were posting btw...

I just wanted to add that yes, this is pretty much was I was referring to.

And it wasn't my intention to offend, Shell.  I respect you and relate to so many of your overseas experiences.  It's very possible I'm writing a bit strongly because I'm a bit irritated at the moment at some IRL things.  :/
