It’s all about the odds…..Yea anything can happen, but if you conduct yourself properly, the odds of trouble will be greatly reduced…
To your point I was at the Octoberfest in Germany in 1986…some drunk guy wanted to fight with me for no reason, his friends calmed him down…
Yeah, but the odds are in some countries a lot higher, epecially if you are talking about race, some places have a lot more racist sentiments, than others. And of course you can take measures to not get into trouble, but I would hardly say that if you aren't aware of the right things to do to stay out of trouble, that that would make you automatically an asshole. Lots of different cultures that bring all kinds of different sensitivities, that most tourists won't be aware of when visiting.
