I think its a kind of a return of the "ugly American".
I'll be visiting Brazil later this year, and one of the first things I'll do with my friends is apologize for the likes of this guy, and for the way our country is treating Brazilians who visit here. Its embarrassing to have to do that, but, I believe, necessary--lest they think we're all that way.

Just curious why you think you need to apologize for some jerk. I would assume your friend knows that you wouldn't conduct yourself like that. How was dinner? If you went already?
