The roots of this idea in social status positioning and in Scott Alexander's idea of universal culture
I can understand this position a lot more for Americans because of their history. It's the "European" Brits that amuse me, they rarely if ever speak another European language, let alone live and work there.
Even for Americans though I think it's delusional. Like the idea that their conception of Irish or Italians is a culture but general American is not.
