| This video explains a lot of America's social values and the difference between America and Europe. It also explains the term "American Exceptionalism", which is the idea that America's social values are exceptional. Know what makes US different. link |

This notion that most Americans are bigots have been propagated by the media and it is completely false. This is of course not to say that there is isn't intolerance and bigotry in America, that is obvious. |

America has been known as a melting pot country, everyone is supposed to assimilate to the American culture. America has diversity, yes. Do they celebrate it? They didn't begin with it, but now? You guys tell me. |
