Nice bait and switch...but I'm not playing. It was you who posted a review that said we only have cultural backgrounds with Europeans and Canadians.
It was YOU who pointed out the difference. I was asking you to clarify. Can you?
Not really. I posted an excerpt from an article regarding Bush's "New America" speech. Did you read the whole article? If not maybe you should - there is a link provided.
The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on.
Nowhere does it say we "only have cultural backgrounds with Europeans and Canadians". It is you that are defensive to the point of seeing something that isn't there.
Also, do you deny the commonality of "culture, language and literature" that we have with Britain and Canada almost to the exclusion of others? What do we have in common with spain and France re: language and literature?
