Comment on Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about many Americans constantly calling people "black" and "white" and making such a big thing about it?

For me the interest in American society comes from the feeling that America is the center of the earth. Not only is 99% of the content that I consume as a gen-z from America but I also grew up being told America is the best and most powerful country in the world.

America feels like the core of our Western society but the fact that it’s still an entire ocean away I think is what makes many people curious cause it’s such a big thing but we can’t quite reach it (hope that makes somewhat sense).

Lol, when I was in China, I was told China was the best, then I immigrated to the US and was told the USA was the best. Seems like just nationalism.
