They may have more differences because culture would be expressed more here. Its why many americans refer to themselves as Irish, or Mexican, or Italian, or whatever. Its because they have different cultural mores than the guy across the street who has no differences from him other than possibly ancestry.

America doesn't have a standardized version for much of anything. Its entierly possible that some Americans will have more in common with people from other countries than they would with their fellow comuntryman.

We have a woman at work who's originally from utah, and you'd think she was from god damn mars. In fact, I know I have more in common with Tore than I have with her. I don't know if its as explainable as we'd like it to be, but America (I won't speak for other nations) always wants a national identity because our history has cautioned us against one.

I'm telling you man, nothing gives a nation a personality complex like an oppressive monarch.
