It reads as cringe to me as a Swede where we follow the Law of Jante, but why would Americans think this is cringe?

  Jantelagen is also deeply ingrained in American culture due to the large amount of cultural influence from German, Dutch and Scandinavian immigrants.

    Not so deep lol. I've talked to Americans.

      It's not ingrained in the Wst Coast people, but very much in the Midwest and a bit lesser on the East Coast. Basically proportional to the Nordic heritage of those regions.
