On a related note...a few years ago, Courtney Love was in Australia, touring with Hole. She was apparently expecting Australians to be more like the English, and was surprised to see that we were relaxed and permissive people. She decides to let the crowd know how she feels by getting on the mic and saying:
"I thought you guys would be like the English, but you're cool, you're like Americans!"
Stony silence from the crowd.
The moral of the story is that people of any nation are influenced by many cultures, but what we really want is our own culture.
