    “American” is hardly an ethnicity (except maybe if you are referring to native Americans of course), so this has nothing to do with racism. Secondly I assume the author of the comment is refering to the simple fact that the terms “liberal” and “conservative” have drastically different connotations in Europe and the US.

        I think it’s a higher bar of actually reading one. Only around 20% of Americans read a book, any book, within the ages 18-29.
