I'm curious, which part is a myth? I only see facts and not all of them paint America as great.
These things exist elsewhere, besides. Just not always in "the West."
Americans size doesn't excuse their ignorance and a lot of other countries don't believe they are the only country the way americans do.
Which Americans are you talking to? We know there are other countries and cultures. We just aren't responsible for learning deeply about all of them. No one is.
You're using some strong, broad strokes that aren't reflective of my experience at all.
You should learn about experiences outside your own that you are not is not a good thing.
I am learning those things... hell, I'm studying a completely different language and learning the history.
I think I'm not who you think I am.
The above is one example.
You don't have a high ground, here.
