There are memes like "when you have to prove that you're jewish" or crass jokes about people standing out due to their lack of foreskin, but i remember hearing that a huge swathes of American men are circumcised - it's like 49%. Jesus.

If literally half of every men are circumcised, why is it even a remarkable topic to Americans? How did it become such a meme?

The sensitivity loss thing is mostly an internet myth, most studies on it show no difference with some studies reporting increased sensitivity instead

It's worth pointing out as a myth, it vastly predates the internet. The reason it's common in the USA, is because the puritans believed it would make it easier to stop kids from masturbating.
