| Dec 12, 2018 at 15:12 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @LangLangC Another remark to sources: The facts (need for motivation to migrate, social norms, abundance of resources, Declaration of Independence) are obvious and undisputed; the conclusions are all mine and seem fairly obvious. The merit of my answer (if any) is to structure them and sum them up. | |

Far from a reliable fact. –– On the other hand, add these caveats and it becomes reasonable observation (in fact one often heard), instantly. ;) | |
| Dec 12, 2018 at 15:03 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | @LangLangCn Yes, sources would most certainly improve the answer. Anybody? // I made the observation of traits personally with American acquiantances; it's quite obvious but only anecdotal, so I edited the footnote to make that clear. | |

If you take these assertions to a structural perspective, it all disaapears. Small scale example: Go to a bad neighbourhood in N or S America, then compare that to quarters that are just starting gentrification anywhere in Europe. There are no essentialist differences in traits of people compared, but economic and cultural factors of quite some significance if you want to look at it at this macro-level. | |
