The Misconception of Universal American Enthusiasm
I've noticed a recurring theme in conversations and media where there's an assumption that everyone around the world aspires to be American or embraces American culture wholeheartedly. While I appreciate the contributions of the U.S. in various fields, this presumption comes off as a bit arrogant.
From the other end of this stick as an American immigrant in England, whenever people tell me they dream of moving to America I'm at a loss for how to respond politely.
