LOL. I am not sure where you got that I was liberal. In fact I voted for trump. None of that matters because I have dealt with other nationalities more than you. You seem like a redneck hick that hates people from other countries so you simply don't deal with them. I work in the tech industry and have dealt with a lot of people from different nationalities. The only point I was trying to make is that many Americans are dishonest and lie and cheat to get ahead as do many people in other nationalities.
I aspire to be a bit more redneck but maybe a hick... Your post gives me some hope that you have a bit of sense (aside from the voting for Trump bit). I'll admit that I may have misjudged you, so I'll elaborate...
There is a difference between your anecdotal experiences with individuals from other nations and the culture of the country from where those people come from.
In other words, just because that dude (or multiple men and women you may know) who works at your office or whom with you deal with via skype, email, etc isn't a liar doesn't mean that their culture doesn't interpret or understand lies differently than you do... In fact (as previously mentioned) most s1b's are the best of the best from where they come... Most are able to quickly understand and adapt to US culture.
However, when you travel to that country and deal with the local people you get a better understanding of their culture... I've not been in my career for as long as OP, but I've been a professional for 15 years. I've negotiated contracts with an Indian multi-national called ONGC and I can tell you that my experiences with Indians is very similar to what OP described. I've also been in charge of a few operations in China and I can tell you that their views on lies differ from Americans too... they differ from Indians too... Rather than lies being understood as 'misunderstandings', the Chinese have a very 'fake it till you make it' attitude... they will tell you over and over that they understand something regardless of whether they do or not... it seems sometimes like they can be afraid to ask questions because it would be disrespectful to do so.
Americans on the other hand are so honest and blunt that we're considered uncouth in many other cultures...
But ultimately, yes, any individual is just as likely to lie as any other individual... I'll grant you that...
