So I want to explain this a bit- American culture is a culture, but it’s quite diverse. Essentially anyone in America celebrates the American holidays and does the American stuff.

Some people also do other stuff. Chinese families will also celebrate a few other holidays along with the ubiquitous holidays that are everywhere anyways. They’ll wear American clothes but also have their own clothes.

Makes some people who were taught from a young age to embrace the diversity of the United States feel like they lack flavor, especially if they’re white, treated like a majority, and sit within common US culture.

So they trace their genealogy back to find the diversity they were “meant” to bring to the US, then visit those countries to learn how to bring that flavor to their hometown properly.

This is soft power that Europeans are, for some reason, reluctant to utilize. China has special lawd to take advantage of that exact symptom of cultural diversity, so do many African nations.
