The US is incredibly culturally diverse, it's a nation of immigrants from all over the world. It's just not delineated by state. There are geographic pockets of one culture or another, but frequently a single geographical area has many different cultures in it, so it isn't as easy to draw a line around your culture and make laws to protect it. A culture lives and dies on its own efforts and merits.
- noobermin 8y agoIt is not as diverse for major film. Most of the film in the US comes from Hollywood.

Local food, local culture? 99% of US films have little to do with international perspectives, much less with local cultures. A black man eating a Big Mac is a person eating a Big Mac, no matter how black he is.
- phyller 8y agoI disagree. This entire line of thought is just ridiculous prejudice. If you think the US film industry is entirely represented by the 20 or so big blockbusters that come out each year, and that somehow the hundreds of smaller and independent movies don't count, that's your problem. Just because you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they don't exist.
