Sure. I'm just pointing out that different cultures have very different expectations / priorities. :)

There is a big culture difference.

I would argue that their culture is significantly different to that of the USA.

What cultural difference causes this?

Maybe you mean they have more cultural inclination?

I can't answer your question but be aware that you are looking through a very western lens, and probably US-centric lens particularly, and other cultures can see things in very different way, starting with assumptions (or simply unthought practices) that you have nothing to compare with.

It's obviously a cultural difference issue that might create the impression of narrowmindedness.

Can you expand on how the culture is different?

You are assuming all cultures/societies to be the same.
