Often when Americans think of Japan, they have a distorted image. They can only imagine the Japan they've seen in movies - that is to say, Tokyo, samurai, and karaoke.
Over the past few years, I've come to see that Japan is much more diverse and interesting than my previous misconception.
In the same way, I think the average Japanese person has a distorted image of American culture.
Perhaps when you think of America, you think of two major cities - New York and Los Angeles.
That's very natural, they dominate American movies so it's often the only America you can see.
But today I'd like to take some time and talk about America's diverse culture and its many regions.
America is a wonderful, interesting country with many diverse cultures.
While I'm talking, please keep in mind that geographically, most of these areas I'm showing are larger than Japan.
It is easy to forget that America is such a large country.
When we talk about American culture, we must talk about immigration.
America is a nation of immigrants.
America has been famously called a "melting pot," but the anology does not always hold true.
It's racial and ethnic groups do not always mix - instead creating something more like a "salad bowl" where each group is unique but makes up one part of a whole.
While it's sad, America's native cultures have been almost wiped out. Immigrants from around the world have replaced them.
So today, we're going to focus on the dominant cultures in modern America.
Today, there are over 300,000,000 Americans which makes up about 4.5% of the world's total population.
Of these Americans, 31,000,000 live in New York or Los Angeles. So roughly 1 in 10 Americans live in one of these two cities - which is why we see them so much in movies.
But we're not going to talk about them.
We're going to talk about the other 90% of Americans who are spread throughout the fourth largest country in the world.
Now lets talk about race, ethnicity, and ancestry. America as a whole has a very diverse ancestral makeup. Lets take a look.
Out of 100 Americans,
15 people are of German ancestry.
10 people are of Irish ancestry.
9 people are of African American ancestry.
9 people are of English ancestry.
7 people are of Mexican ancestry.
5 people are of Italian ancestry.
3 people are of French ancestry.
2 people are of Native American ancestry.
1 person is of Japanese ancestry.
These make up about 60% of Americans. The remaining 40% are from a scattering of countries around the world.
Another important factor in shaping our culture is religion.
Different religions bring with them a different set of morals, food, music, literature, and ways of life.
America has long been a destination for religious immigrants.
These immigrant communities have made large impacts on the cultures of regions.
