I'm from an immigrant family, but I was born and have always primarily lived in the US. Generally people are more trusting of people who are "like them," whatever the category seems to be. Who can make sweeping generalizations like this with any credibility? I'm not offended by the statements. I just think they represent a very limited world view.
I don't know how one could say that Europeans are categorically more trustworthy than any other group... except for a a group of Ferengi traders... no one should trust the Ferengi. :-) Anyway... I've had my pockets picked 3 times in Paris, twice in London, once in Milan... and NEVER in the US. Go figure.
