Honest question. Do Americans really think “taking care of your family” is just an American thing?

Similarly honest question: why are we so insistent on bad faith in positive comments? Mentally reassembling “Y is an X thing” into “no-one else but X does Y good thing”.

The defensive posture only sets up others to think “hmm, Y is a good thing, seems universal. Maybe its not”
