The cultural naivety of Americans is a very personal
opinion that I do not share given all the
multi-cultural winds that have blown through this
country for centuries many of which have stuck.

Similarly, the insularity of Americans is a gross
misrepresentation as a generality given the robust
local and international discourse and debates
constantly going on, America's assertive influence in
world affairs and international businesses and the
prevalence of American popular culture in almost every
corner of the world.
