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.
I really try to avoid this because I know it’s easy for me to slip in to. Recently I thought I read enough context from the post. Still totally wrong, so it’s a work in progress. But I’m trying!
