You should thank God you aren't American...it seems everyone else thinks they know exactly what makes us tick, and (as in this thread?) aren't shy at all about making sweeping generalizations about us.
- jacquesm 9y agoGermany doesn't export it's culture, it exports mostly its products. Contrary to the USA that exports its culture wherever it can. So it should not be a surprise that 'everyone else' thinks that they know what makes Americans tick, it's just that their picture is going to be centered on whatever Hollywood wants to radiate rather than actual reality. That said - and having spent a good bit of time in the US - there are quite a few things that Hollywood unfortunately portrays quite accurately.
