    You ever come across the excuse where, in response to a criticism regarding something about America, the defenders say something to the extent of “it depends on the area” or “you cannot just generalize something like that”? This is silly because accepting their viewpoint means that you cannot point out any patterns of systematic failure or oppression that exist on a nationwide basis.

      The US has always seemed incredibly homogenous to me, in various aspects(in terms of cultural,economic and general sameyness), and that is definetly systemic.

        Americans are a deeply provincial society. They think there is a big difference between Duluth, New Orleans and San Fransisco because they are completely ignorant of the whole world outside usa. If the only type of fruit you’d ever experienced were mandarins and navel oranges you’d probably think they were radically different.
