I know exactly what you mean. I don't feel like I'm any "better" than anyone else because of where I live. I often wonder how I ended up being American (sounds weird I know), but how did Fate decide I belonged here but not in, let's say, the Sudan? Life could be worse, but it could be better. America is just a place, not Heaven. I feel very bad for those who shun other cultures. I mean, there are people who won't even eat at an Indian restaurant because they don't recognize the cuisine...We are so limited here in what we are willing to try. Americans are very much about comfort.
