Ugly American is nothing but a leftist wedge tactic to shame Americans about their ignorance of foreign cultures. Most of the time, idiot Americans don’t realize a certain amount of swagger is required in the third world, and they act like liberal wussies and get walked all over.

In Rio, the right amount of “swagger”, which you speak of, if you are luckly, will help you end up in the body bag. If you are unlucky but still have the right amount of swagger, your body will never be found. Perhaps it will be found... 4 years later washed on the beach, just in time for the Olympics. True story.
I have never heard “Ugly American” associated with the turd world, only places like the UK, France, Germany, etc.
