I've mostly seen the "American tourist", though...
When we went on Interrail (in Europe) a few years back, we experienced that the only ones that would be rude enough to not first ask if we could speak English, where Americans. Everyone else would say "excuse me, do you speak English", and then go on with what was on their mind, but Americans would just assume that everyone around them new the language (and loved to converse in it).
On the other hand, in Venice, we met a french couple that asked us if we spoke English -- in French...
("Parlez-vouz l'anglais?" "Eh... yes.")

Any neighborhood supermarket.
It reflects both the agricultural abundance of America and the degree to which America is a great cultural "melting pot" - there's Mexican food, Italian, Middle eastern, Jewish, and everything in between, as well as all those American regional specialties - from Maine lobster to Alaskan king crab, just to give an example.
All of this abundance is laid before the American consumer. All these businesses. All these people contributing incrementally to the wealth of a nation.
That's America, and it is good.
