Look at the writings of Americans like Ray Hanania, Randall Jones, or our friend Gary. They never tire of bashing their own country, and assume overseas models somewhere are somehow superior. In Finland, too, the trait is alive. Finns constantly look at Swedes as somehow more cosmopolitan, sophisticated and innovative. Of course, there are also those Finns who think Swedes are just a bunch of "fags". Self-denigration is a common human trait, which only compounds on a national level.

Have you read Galal Amin's What happened to the Egyptians? I think he calls it the khawaga complex. Anyway, those people are missing out on some good Egyptian culture, their loss. Great post dude.
