They live in the country, and can have an informed view. A foreigner would not have experienced what it really is like to live in your country, and whatever they say can be assumed to be what they actually think.

I like the song American idiot by green day, but I couldn't help feeling a little put off when an Australian girl picked it and she and a Canadian girl sang it at karaoke.
