@Willnever:
I think what he is saying is that Europeans as a people are more easy going. That is true, relatively speaking, in America you have to "fit in", even Fraggle is happy that second generation Latinos listen to English radio programs. I believe I read somewhere that you had the same emotions and were thankful that you lived in the Anglophonic NE of the US.
Arabs, like Asians adapt to other languages. They watch our Hindi movies in Hindi. They learn Japanese and Chinese, French and German, speak many languages.
Americans are blandly monocultural in outlook and resist any diversification.
Just imagine, for an Arab, an American is the equivalent of a person from a very rich, very developed country, who doesn't know the difference between Toronto and Mexico and refuses to learn any but his own language [which he also speaks differently with different spellings than others] and still believes he knows more than other people when he knows nothing outside his own borders.
