to be honest your post sounds a lot like some Egyptians I know who seem compelled to apologize for the endemic tourist scams, bribery/shakedowns/corruption, unethical taxi drivers, sexual harassment etc in Cairo.


If I were Egyptian I would apologize for those folks.

Is that bad?


Yes? You are not Egyptian. And one Egyptian should not be forced in any way to apologize for others Egyptians.


I am an American and I feel the urge at times to apologize for other Americans.

Especially when I am traveling abroad. We can be quite bad tourists.
