I can't count the number of time Americans (from all over the States) have explained to me how diverse America actually is. Ironically it's only Americans who've done this.
- scottLobster 5y agoWell it's usually when someone from outside America says "Americans do it this way" based on their vacations or even single trips to a single point in America, having stayed in an AirBNB or hotel or something. To actual American citizens you might as well be characterizing France from your experience in Germany just because they're both in the EU.
- zorked 5y agoGermany and France are pretty similar TBH. Though, like Americans, Europeans also get mad when you point out they are not as diverse as they imagine. It's really hard to talk about things when you can't generalize a bit. "100 million American homes have things set up this way" - oh no, let's divert the discussion to worry about the one guy who has a fully custom setup!
