A dear friend of mine immigrated from the UK and was disappointed to find the actual state of America 10 years ago didn’t match what they see on TV sets; that crime and homelessness and grimy dirty streets is a thing.
This is a smart, capable adult with a fine education - streets and books - and the ability to reason quickly and sharply. And still he fell for it.
America exports an image packaged better than any Ghirardelli box. There will still be many people experiencing the ‘paris’ effect for years to come.
