Probably due to the American fixation on race and cultural identities.
The modern reality is that the arrival of dozens of semi-homeless people with no visible means of employment, sanitation and waste disposal is generally unwelcome (and certainly isn't romantic).
- perching_aix 2y agoMy guess is that there are just far fewer of them in North America, both in absolute and relative terms, so they're mostly discussed only on a very high level. I do also maintain the chance that they just managed to integrate better by luck, so it's mostly their historical tropes that remain. No clue. There is definitely a prevalent romanticization of other cultures in NA that I feel is a lot less significant elsewhere, so I do see you point too though.
