Insufficient explanation. Culture across American states ranges from Mayo to Milk. Incoming cultures are not embraced; they are whitewashed and blanched out. And this is half the reason why people are so willing to move from New York to Florida, because there’s virtually no cultural difference between the two that would interrupt their enjoyment of the geographical/climate changes. (Imagine the real cultural differences between moving from London to Rome, or Seoul to Bangkok?)

The reason Americans are so ignorant of the rest of the world is because they’re geographically isolated and because they’re fed lies of American exceptionalism that convinces them that anything outside the country would be worse than anything inside the country.
