    When asked where I’m from I say my state, I don’t say I’m American.

      Yeah I don’t know any Americans that don’t do this. Like I get it, I don’t like us either, but going from Colorado to Texas is more jarring to me than going from France to Germany.

        Yes, going from “foreign place where I don’t speak the language” to “foreign place where I don’t speak the language” isn’t jarring because it’s all very foreign. But, the differences between France and Germany are objectively huge compared to the differences between Colorado and Texas.

          …I do speak the language in one of the two, but thanks for the shitty assumption. That it’s more jarring for me between two states is my own subjective opinion. It’s almost like there’s more to culture than language.

            Do you think every region in European countries is the same? There is more of a difference between Bavaria and the rest of Germany than most US states.

        This is ridiculous. This is why Europeans think we’re so stupid and insular, and they’re right.
