A question for anybody who doesn't live in America
    #15191075 - 10/07/11 10:42 AM (12 years, 5 months ago)

...I'm American, so I want to know... What do you guys think of America?
What comes to your mind when you think of it?

to me it seems like a huge place with lots of walmarts and huge department stores. every time I hear an American speak IRL I think it sounds like they are on TV because i've associated that accent with television so strongly :dancer:

NYC is different than rural Wyoming is different than Seattle is different than Miami is different than Utah is different than Texas.

But, if we're generalizing, I see America as the pennacle of individualism - despite this being a fabricated identity.

Indeed, it often seems to me that of all the good things in the world, the only ones humanity can claim for itself are stories and music; the rest, mercy, beauty, sleep, clean water and hot food (as the Ascian would have said) are all the work of the Increate. Thus, stories are small things indeed in the scheme of the universe, but it is hard not to love best what is our own—hard for me, at least."

Yeah that's my point you have to make an exctinction... It'd be quite retarded if i'd started calling black people in belgium afro-Belgians.

Mhm. They say segregation ended several decades ago but I don't see other countries with terms like African-Italians or Asian-British...
