Speaking as a Brit, that sentence could so easily apply to any non-American's perspective on people in that state (I've only really spent time in NY and CA, BTW, so I acknowledge that my perception of life in the US is just as skewed as the author's pereception of life in Japan, but in a sense that's exactly my point).
