Since we had a post about the most friendliest countries, we should look at countries that have unexpected friendly people, not the usual answers like Ireland, Scotland, Canada, Taiwan, etc. For me it’s Montenegro. Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.

    “What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness?”

    Why would you be shocked by friendliness if you didn’t assume they would be unfriendly? Why would you expect them to be unfriendly? Not-racism…

    “Londoners are considered to be cold and rude but I find them to be very pleasant with me.”

    Translation: So I turns out this assumption I had of people turned out to be not true. So after I learned that lesson I thought I do the same mistake again but from the other direction and in a group setting"

    This is not about if it is the right word to describe it, this is about reducing a group to a stereotype and how wrong that is. Call it cultural racism, culturism or some other shit that doesn’t hurt your feelings because you identify with it.
