This is why it is always an American version of otherness that is encountered in the United States. You will not necessarily learn anything about the culture and history of Vietnam by working alongside a Vietnamese doctor in the teaching hospital at Stanford. You can sit next to an Indian in the same dot.com company in Los Angeles for years without learning much about the manners and customs of India. And going to a French restaurant in Atlanta is no guarantee that you will be served French cuisine. That writer was doing a comparison and a US putdown, until he wrote that. He should have added, you won't find a Vietnamese Dr working in a German hospital. You won't find an Indian working in a German company except perhaps as janitor. You will have to search long and hard to find a French restaurant in Germany.
