It's been interesting to observe the monoculture as an American living in Germany. For instance, during the George Floyd protests in the states, there were mass demonstrations against police brutality in the US being held in Berlin.

I think that police brutality and racial discrimination are important issues, but I could not help wondering what those (mostly) teens and young adults hoped to accomplish by protesting what's happening in a completely different society thousands of kilometers away. Especially when there's plenty of discrimination to get upset about right here in Germany.
