depends on what you mean by “very bright skin”? It also depends very much on where in America you’re talking about.

Remember, geographically, the US is more on par with the whole of the EU than any single country in the EU; and similarly with population size as well. You’re going to have a different experience going to CA than NY, or texas or Iowa. Or even Austin, Texas and some rural small town full of nothing but inbred rednecks in Texas. (same also for some parts of CA, if we’re being honest. There are some very republican strongholds in CA.)
