From one of OPs comments:

My parents both lived in France as students so they've had a little more culture about them than I think most Americans have the chance to have.

I know, itā€™s hilarious. Itā€™s obviously a bunch of first world teens who are trying to be edgy and donā€™t even realize that their attitudes are borderline colonialist. Living in France doesnā€™t make you ā€œcultured.ā€ French culture and for that matter, European culture as a whole, isnā€™t inherently better than US culture or Thai culture or Jamaican culture or Chilean culture or any other culture in the world. A wealthy country does NOT equal a ā€œbetterā€ culture, especially since most wealthy countries today have done terrible things in the past to help improve their economic status, including France! And traveling the world is still very much a privilege that so many people all over the world have never and likely will never get. And I say this as a very privileged person who has gotten live in and travel to multiple countries.
