It isn’t a slight against you/us. It’s a slight against Americans.
ATMs in the EU used to have a bunch of flags for the assorted languages, with the Union Jack representing English. US tourists would complain and kick up a fuss that English wasn’t an option among the flags, because they are looking for the stars and stripes.
In any case, I never perceived it as a slight against me, or really anybody. I just get annoyed by this stupid US Defaultism crap. But your story makes sense, honestly wouldn’t expect anything more than that from the average US tourist.
