I've lived in both NA and EU.
I must say; The Europeans tend to be more educated about other societies, but usually act like snobs, not realizing their own society's pettiness.
The Americans tend to be less educated/care less about foreign nations, simply because they believe themselves to be the prime of the world.
In other words, the Euros look down on everyone else, despite themselves.
And the Americans ignore everyone else, because of themselves.
But of course, there's the good fellows among both sides who are reasonable.
A prime example of that EU attitude would be the very common nationalism of the Balkan states, Herzegovina, Bosnia, Serbia, Monteblack in spanish, Croatia, Albania...
A prime example of the American ignorance is their frequent inability to name said Balkan states.
In other words, this is all silly. I'm trying to dispel a bit of the silliness. How about you have your attitude towards people, regardless of their place of origin.
