US doesn't really have a unified culture. Compared to countries that have a strong cultural weight on the world, the US is pretty puritan.

I disagree. Yes it's multicultural; but there are unified attitudes and cultural behaviors that purvey the country. Foreigners who come from abroad to live here maintain their own cultural identity while adopting American culture.

What do you mean by strong cultural weight? You mean like Japan or China?

Japan definitely has a strong cultural weight, but in animated content in English speaking countries.

China has no cultural weight on English speaking countries.

Not in popular culture like television or media. Media seems like an important part of culture but it is by far one of the smallest aspects of culture. Product and business infrastructure of the entire world is tightly integrated with China and that is definitely culture.

This thread is a goldmine of the most politically correct ways to say "the middle east doesn't count"

I'm literally Iranian. Our cultural machine does not exist outside of the country.

This isn't the same as Turkey, but their cultural weight does not impact English speaking countries.
