[Johnna29335]

I noticed the same thing when I went to a predominantly white college. It seemed like some students couldn’t understand that the world did not revolve around their own wants and needs. I’ve also heard people from other countries say similar things about Americans in general, and I think it comes down to the privilege you mention. With privilege comes a sense of entitlement. If you are used to having things your way, you expect any and everything to be the way you want it to be. You expect people to accommodate you, even if it causes a problem for them. If things aren’t the way you want them, you feel you have the right to complain, even if it is something minor. It also doesn’t help that Americans have a ‘customer is always right’ mentality. That attitude makes people think that if they complain and yell enough, they’ll get their way.
