feelings of persecution (perceptions of being a victim of prejudice, aggression, and hostility from others)
To be fair, I don't doubt that the "diverse" crowd occupying Parisian streets would be prejudiced, aggressive and hostile to Asian tourists. Rather, they're probably the biggest reason someone might experience Paris Syndrome in the 1st place.
To be fair, there are also westaboos that want to live out their fantasies of living in "cool" cities like New York and LA.
Great cities while America was great, sure, but the modern representation of them in the media is just as much a lie as the anime portrayal of Japan.
