You are delusional.

I disagree. I'm not the most extensively travelled person on this board (there are some real globetrotters here) but I have travelled reasonably.

I have never been attacked, nor do I believe I am likely to be for reasons that I wouldn't be attacked in my own country (wrong place, wrong time, robbery or sexual motives).

If you mean verbally attacked, the only places that has happened to me were in my own backyard - figuratively soeaking. I left a pub in Essex (a county south of London) because I felt uncomfortable with the way people at the bar mocked my accent. I wasn't what they thought I was (over-privileged and slumming it) but I didn't stay to explain it. I also had my English accent commented on derisively in Belfast - which made me very uncomfortable.
