Interesting. Do US colleges and US TV/movies provide sufficient cultural understanding of US to other countries' governments, without them needing US immigrants as staffers?
- ianburrell 2y agoAlso, other countries send lots of students to the US. Some become immigrants but lots go back home.
- alephnerd 2y agoAlso, US-Europe immigration is largely moribund, so familial and social ties to European states are much weaker now than 50 years ago. Most immigration to the US now comes from Asian and LatAm states, so a lot of us Americans prioritize those problems and needs above Europe.
- alephnerd 2y ago> Do US colleges and US TV/movies provide sufficient cultural understanding of US to other countries' governments Do French/German/Italian/<insert country here>? They don't, and whatever global media Americans do consume tends to be Asian (overwhelmingly Japanese and Korean) or Latin American. This isn't the 20th century anymore when a lot of 1st and 2nd gen immigrants had European ties. American in the 21st century is now Asia and Latin America facing.
