Three American mysteries

[webcowgirl]

Living over here, I find there are a few elements of American culture that just haven't translated very well in England and are a bit of a mystery - high school, "the prom," and our race obsession being three of them.

Read about all of them in this article in the New York Times.

Class? In America, we're generally not concerned about it. Race is still our big problem.

Americans don't see it. And, compared to the UK, I don't see it in America, either. People don't identify with their class like they do here.
