Generally speaking, people become defensive about their home country. For an American, it is strange to see people want to come to the USA, benefit from the economy, educational institutions, etc... Yet, if you bring up anything about the poor state of human rights or democracy in their home country they will naturally become 1. defensive and 2. bring up some form of "whatabout" argument against the USA.

Some more than others. Pride and face-saving countries, yes.

I'm from Canada, I like it, and it's great in many ways, but I'll be happy to tell you all the ways that it's wonky.
