Roy Gardiner said:Americans not Europeans are, in my experience, the most insular people anywhere.
For instance. I was in the US when the Lewinsky dress stain saga broke. I watched the news for an hour, there was no other story bar 10secs on the 25% devaluation of the rouble the previous day. That's an extreme example, but there routinely is next to no international coverage of anything in the US media.
Europeans in general have a far wider world view than the average American, are indeed justifiably contemptuous of American smugness and ignorance, are jealous of very little that's American bar sheer wealth, and are a great deal less ignorant of the US that the US citizen is of anywhere else.
Hahaha... Yeah, okay.
