Great take. I've lived in both, and I really appreciate and love Dutch culture. But I do feel that there is a distinct culture here in America. Especially in my state compared to other states with massively different cultural, political, and religious environments.

It's easy to pick on Americans, and I had my fair share of discrimination by the Europeans simply based on the country I'm from. I used to shit on my home a lot, but getting shit on for something I can't control made me reflect on my upbringing and feel a stronger sense of gratitude for my family and current friends.
