That is my point. You cannot diminish the repercussions of such might-is-right attitude which some even claim to be a form of "western humour".

You had previously indicated your worry about locals becoming less friendly towards foreigners. I feel that too.
One may be a 200kg/7ft gorilla showing their anger and discontent with other beings because of their dislike about someone's table manners etc, but in the eyes of others, that samsonite-holding Angmoh come to represent the uglier.
