Thank you very much. We Americans came from Europe and elsewhere because we didn't fit in. We weren't the right religion or the right social class. Europe didn't want us. We were outcasts looking for a place where your pedigree didn't matter and where people could worship without being arrested. We created that place on a continent thousands of miles from our ancestral homeland. Because we know what it's like to be outcasts, we tend to be far more tolerant of people than any other country.
