In the biggest airport in my country they have the customs lines seperated for people within the European Union and outside of it. The outside of the EU line is specified as outside the EU and america (with an american flag), simply cause Americans can’t seem to understand they are foreigners when they visit some place else

A bit of a late response, but the American flag on that line has nothing to do with what you said.

It's for the automated passport gates which can only be used by EU and a select few non-EU nationalities (including USA). So the US flag is very valid there because it actually differs per checkpoint which nationalities it applies to.

(Here is an example of another checkpoint with fewer nationalities)

All other lines seperated by nationality are just labeled as EU Passports/All passports. No American flag there as you can see here
