I suppose if all you know about the US is through TV & Hollywood movies, then sure.
I suppose if all you know about advertising is "TV & Hollywood", then sure. You speak about condescension; I'm not merely a passive observer of America. I have in fact been there, several times as well as knowing many Americans.
But that's NOT what it is. It's just a mere recognition of one's personal history & what influence it has had on your family & local culture.
Again, you're conflating two things. Recognising one's ancestry is one thing but explicitly aligning oneself with it is entirely another.
Identifying your heritage & noting a few small similarities between those of similar heritage is a far cry from what you're implying. I think you're the on blowing it out of proportion.
Only because you've inferred something different to what I had originally said.
Frankly, the tone of your posts imply that a strongly condescending attitude.
Pot, meet kettle.
It feels the same in reverse; the need to criticize cultural quirks of Americans seems to stem from some insecurity...
I'd be intrigued by an explication of your analysis.
