"And no Canadian is even wanting to hear how happy you are"

Well I'll keep that in mind if I ever get the urge to let everyone know.
Assuming you were on a group tour in Europe, how did you ever manage to get the operators to separate the Americans from the rest of the group?  Were your children with you? What about rest rooms? 
What was the ethnic makeup of the Americans? Whites are only 65% of the population. Demanding Americans be kept away from your group would either be bigotry or racism depending on the Americans there. Were there American children on the tour? Did you shun them as well?
