I think the problem is more that many Americans are very focused on their own culture to the exclusion of every other culture

Of course, this position directly contradicts the other dominant criticism in this thread, that Americans don't have any culture of their own and just take from others.

Americans are a remix culture, and take in influences from elsewhere (especially through 200+ years of immigration) and make it our own.

I am not talking about taking culture and integrating it into your own, I am talking about appreciating it without taking it.
