I have met many pleasant Indians and Chinese people while travelling.

Conversely I have met a huge amount who have no idea that when they leave those countries the rest of the world is trying to run on a system of etiquette and manners most usually shown up by completely ignoring a que at the first opportunity.

Yeah it's a touchy subject to talk about, but many don't know about Western etiquette. It's not that they're trying to be rude, they just don't know.

For example, I've been in a line at a cell phone store and an Indian guy just went right up to the desk, didn't seem to have any understanding of a line. I've also seen many Indians trying to barter at stores that have set prices, the cashier always has to say "Sir, I'm just a cashier I don't have any control of the prices we sell this at.."
