Ok, read that question...well, its hard for me to ask it like that, because I know that New Yorkers are no Americans in fact .. u know what I mean... well, thats my questions: As you maybe know, a lot of other countries, mostly in Europe, describe Americans as shallow human beings! -> That they (I am useing the term "they" on purpose, because this is a neutral question) are not able to have deep relationships/friendships due to their lack of deepness and caring about people. Americans are very open and directly, make you feel they really like you, make you feel special, but the next day, everything is forgotten.
Another thing of shallowness about Americans would be, your lack of global news (which is true though, but why..?) , actually only CNN shows, makes Americans to the rest of the world shallow and egoistic.
Just for the record, This is not MY personal impression of Americans! "Unfortunately" I only know New Yorkers so far, so I would like to know what you think about that Prejudice and how big the difference between New Yorkers and the rest of the US is.
The main reason I am asking is, that my experiences are totally different. I had a few very good American "New Yorker" friends, one of them was even my best friend for years, so I actually dont really understand the problem of everyone, but I hear it from here and there. So I am really interested about your own opinions... please, free your mind. Thanks for answering.
