I worked in Latin America for four years, in addition to have spent much time there as a tourist. From my own experience, the best way to turn from a guilt-ridden liberal into an unapologetic flag-waging American is to work in the Third World.Liberal assumptions about Latin America didn’t stand up to reality , I found out.
I did encounter the occasional EUROSNEER in Latin America, but at the time, they were a distinct minority of the Europeans I worked and traveled with.
