I've seen foreigners really shift on their view of America, and that's hard for me to take.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I always see America as really belonging to the Native Americans. Even though I'm American, I still feel like a visitor in my own country.
America has never taken me to its heart. I've always been an outsider.
I can't see America any other way than with a European's eyes. It fascinates me and terrifies me at the same time.
I don't feel alienated from American culture, but I understand people who do.
Like so many Americans, I am sick and tired of watching the rapid decline of our culture right in front of our eyes.
Living abroad has heightened my interest in how foreigners regard the strange places we encounter.
I've always felt that Americans are very in the moment. There's not so much melancholia and mystery as there is in France. Everything must be understood. Everything must be analyzed.
I have no idea how I'm perceived in America because I don't live the reality of America.
In Britain, you never get away from the fact that you're a foreigner. In the U.S., the view is it doesn't matter where you come from.
It's very, very hard to affect culture. And you can get surprised thinking you're farther down the path of change than you really are because, frankly, most of us like the way things are.
