Reply to comment by ShEsHy in TIL in the 1980s Monty Python got much of its exposure to the US through PBS, because of CBS censoring parts of "The Holy Grail" in a 1977 broadcast. This upset the comedy troupe, prompting them to withdraw the broadcast rights. by AnthillOmbudsman

That's just not even remotely true. Some places have a strong English culture, some places of strong French culture, some with Spanish, some with Native American, some with Chinese etc etc. America is a giant melting pot of all the world's cultures. Even history is BS. The states that were the original 13 colonies have a very different history than that of California, Alaska, or Hawaii. We don't even all share the same language man. America has no national language. There are millions of people living here who don't speak english. Basically everything you've said is completely ignorant.

And? The same thing happens with literally every country that changed its borders but didn't relocate/wipe out the people in the last couple of centuries. Hell, even in my tiny country of Slovenia, with a population of only 2 million, the North-eastern part is so heavily Hungarian-influenced that their language is incomprehensible to the rest of our country, the coastal part of it is Italian-influenced, and the Northern part Austrian, but those people are still Slovene.
