i agree with everything you've said. however, as you may not have considered, the tweet more so conveyed that americans are like europeans only in terms of ethnicity/ nationality. however, what is fun (bad) about america is that you can become an american even if you are not an ethnicity that is european, simply by adopting our shitty culture, which is, as you say, quite distinct from any european culture, and is so to our detriment.
