  • Of those who’ve actually left, an overwhelming majority have only gone as far afield as Canada or Mexico.

    I mean, yeah, Canada and Mexico are zero kilometers away from the U.S., and there are a few island countries, but for the most part, to get to another country, people from the U.S. would have to travel to a whole other continent.

    If you want to be consistent, you’d need to compare what percentage of people from each other contintent have travelled to another continent, and you’d need to consider what percentage of people on other continents live close to another continent.

    I am not saying that most people in the U.S. have experience with international travel, just that to illustrate your point, I think you’ve gone too far and included some information which doesn’t actually distinguish the U.S. quite as much as you think.
