>>282 This is true. I'll add, though, that even we Americans like to stereotype our own country. People in Virginia think Californians are all liberal pot-smoking surfers. People in New York think Georgians are all bucktoothed hicks who make moonshine. People in Georgia think everyone in New York is an Italian gangster. etc. The US really is diverse. All Europe has on the US in that sense is way more languages and a lot more history and old rivalries.
