Describe American culture...

For the generalized American to write about the American culture, that person would need to have knowledge of all of the cultures that live in the United States and that would just be too difficult. However, for example an Asian or European to write about the American culture, they would more than likely say our stereotypes like: Americans are fat and love anything fast-food, they are wasteful, they are selfish, they are primed to be offended... etc. A very large majority of Americans fit into these descriptions and the culture is just that. Americans are all so different from each other and get offended by anything and everything because most are extremely unaware of how many people in other countries suffer in the hands of unfit and poor leaders and that's because of how incredibly selfish most of these people in America really are. Americans have it so good and many take it for granted. That is its culture.

I lived in the hills of Tennessee my whole life until I moved to Northern Virginia. I saw fewer Hispanics, African-Americans, Indians, Europeans, etc, in the south than up north. Why is that? I can have an educated guess from a different perspective that it's because southerners are all racist and white trash, right? In fact, you'd probably be right. I was raised in an area where the white girls were told by their daddy's to never bring home a black boy, and it was like these fathers have never had a legitimate conversation with an African-American. They were extremely close-minded to the fact that there are other cultures and they aren't as bad as they think it is. I remember when I was only in middle school and two new black students were introduced in front of the all their classes. Everyone assumed they'd try out for the basketball team and out-shine all the mediocre white kids that already made the team cause their daddies were coaching. I also remember thinking, okay so what if there was a white kid in an all black school were to start attending as a new student. What would they think of him/her? I didn't know, obviously, because I had an adolescent brain and only knew what my culture was at the time. That is American culture as an example. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone.
