"If not this is so typical of the american way of thinking. Yes, we are so superior lets convert them all to our [insert culture, religion etc...]. "

Why is this the typical american way of thinking? Surely every culture believes theirs is superior, otherwise they wouldn't have adopted it.

It's very possible to exist in a culture without thinking that it's the best.

I didn't adopt my culture, it adopted me (I was born into it).
