I'm just saying it as I've experienced it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's hard to describe but there's definetly a palpable sense of otherness that I haven't noticed anywhere in the US.
There is absolutely culture war issues everywhere (especially here in the US), but assimilating into being "American" is easy compared to what my relatives back in Europe faced and my own experiences there for work and vacation. And it's a big reason a number of them either emigrated to the US/Canada or back to Asia.
