People being surprised that bad people can come from other countries is a weird take on US exceptionalism that I didn't expect.

Really? I see it every time. *Bad thing happens in US*: "Of course it did. Where else could it?" *Bad thing happens outside of US*: "Wow. [Other Place] really acting like the US here." Apparently racism, violence, and most other human sins only exist in the US to some people. It's weird.

Lots of countries have their own exceptionalism going on. Especially in the demographics that can afford to travel.
