>Exactly, Americans seem to have this weird view that no-one's culture should mix. Unless you replace "Americans" with "a small group of obnoxious loudmouths from the US on social media" in your statement, you don't reflect reality. I heartily encourage you (once it's safe to do so) to come and visit New York City. Have some pizza at a place run by Greeks. Have a delicious bagel (I recommend an everything bagel with brie and tomatoes, yum!) at a bagelry[0] owned and run by a Thai family. Have some ropa vieja with shrimp fried rice at one of many Chinese/Latin restaurants. And a place near me has wonderful Callaloo and delicious curry goat. And there are at least half a dozen places near me where I can get a tasty mofongo[1]. Or one of many Caribbean, Malaysian, Korean, Japanese, Brazilian, African and European restaurants, bars, music venues, festivals and all manner of other culture from six continents. I was really sad when the French bakery near me closed. The croissant were nearly as good as the ones I had in Paris. And that's just the food. Cultures, languages and customs mix freely here. While there certainly are distinct cultures, they are welcomed and often incorporated into the broader culture. I think that you'd find that to be true in most urban areas (and many suburban ones). That said, there are many places in the US which are not culturally or ethnically diverse at all. Which isn't surprising. The US is big. It has ~75% of the population of the EU in an area more than twice the size of the EU. Consider how homogeneous some areas of the EU are. Why is that? Is it because they're all bigots and 'limeys' don't want 'frogs' around, etc?
