I’m not often proud of myself or self satisfied in anyway, but one thing I am proud of is my fundamental American-ness.
When people are like you’re an arrogant American I’m like “yes. Yes I ...
I'm down with the positive aspects of what America stands for and symbolizes. As a brit living in Europe there's a lot to like about the forward looking, positive, competitive mindset that is generally intrinsic to your culture. I'm less down with some of the lack of self-awareness that can show up, and I'd say in general travelling to gain experience of other cultures is highly enlightening and not to be underestimated if you want to appreciate what's going on the world and how other people are both similar and different to oneself. Just my two pennies ;)
