The same culturally uniform cosmoploitain Americans that complain about Paris becoming Americanized have disdain for lower class Americans who enjoy the different and diverse ways to be American.

There no such thing as culturally uniform cosmopolitan Americans and there is a difference between Americanization and Corporatization and the rest is just fox news BS.

not lower class americans. more ignorant, more superstitious, more nativistic, more jingoistic, racist, blame shifting, presumption-of-superiority-through-circumstances-of-birth Americans.
we have no disdain except for those Americans characterized by contemptible personality traits. which seem to gravitate towards trump, republican party abs evangelical christianity.

Yup the kind of people who legitimately convince the rest of the world (incorrectly) that Americans are a bunch of uncultured bigoted rubes

I strongly suspect that our new friend just means white when he says west. It's not about culture or eastern and western civilization, as he's a white multiculturalist without any regard for the cardinal directions on a map or where some territory might lie, where some culture originates.

because non-western countries, except japan, are not facing demographic death?
and japan, in an blaze of selflessness decided it should act as an warning to other of what happens when a developed society rejects multiculturalism, has put itself on track to losing half of its popukation by the end of this century, and making sure it’s dwindling number of young working age japanese will be supporting three post retirement geezers, so any vestige of economic vitality japan still has in the year 2100 will drain away as the few young productive worker it has left decided cultural contribution not withstanding, china and india offer more economic opportunities with less overhead?
seriously, all major western countries are facing demographic death, except france, thanks to immigration from north africa, and the US, thanks to immigration from the rest of the world, but primarily latin america.
rather than “cultural contribution”, nativists of your ilk is really accelerating the progress of the western world towards irrelevancy through demographic death, and the progress of western culture towards the status of an interesting, maybe even lemented, historic curiosity.
Japan is going all in on robotics so they don't have to import Korean labor. Risky, and they could have the Koreans right now.

The irony being that it's robots, and not nigerians, taking nativists jobs.
