Or maybe Americans want to see things that aren’t America.
Because I’ve traveled quite a bit in both the U.S. and other countries and there is a huge difference between pretty much anywhere in Europe and pretty much anywhere in the U.S.
There’s not really much in the U.S. even all that similar to Mexico, although there are certainly places which present an idealized version of Mexico (I’m looking at you, downtown L.A. Pueblo). I’ve never been to China, but I am guessing it’s very different from any U.S. city’s Chinatown. I know that actual Italy is absolutely nothing like New York’s Little Italy or even Clinton, Indiana’s Little Italy, which was much more recently settled by Italians. There’s a bunch of old Italian guys at their Little Italy festival.
