      The Easter Bunny has been around since the 1500s but if it helps you to think that all of the evils in the world are American you’re free to do that.

        Well where I live most of the exposure to the rabbit is american. If the origin is not american it does not mean it’s not being proliferated by them. Same as santa claus. 20-30 years ago almost nobody here got gifts from Santa. It was either saint Nicholas on 6. December or father frost whenever he decided to come (no set date). But now with just how prevalent american made media is it’s annoying how many of their customs are coming here and displacing local ones.

      The bunny is primarily a German tradition. It became prevalent in the US because of the high volume German immigrants. However, the bunny was already spreading throughout the Hapsburg Monarchy prior to America exporting its version. Decorating eggs is also a Slovenian tradition that came to prominence when what would be become the US was still just colonies. Not a lot of pop culture getting shipped back to Europe back then.
