And guess what language they are all busy learning? Americans are too arrogant to learn Foreign Languages. Plus, they don't need to, with all the Foreigners learning theirs.

Not to mention the fact an American can go travel from the Arctic Circle to the Mexican border without ever needing to speak anything but English. Europeans who get snotty about Americans being barbarians for not knowing 5 languages and not having a passport are really just expressing their own ignorance. We have an entire Continent, larger than Europe, which requires no passport to travel and no language but English. Just because North America isn't the linguistic and political Babel that is Europe is no indication of lack of culture.
