You misunderstood what I said.

I think you are well intentioned, but your choice of descriptive language, superlatives and broad characterizations echo the language used by less well intentioned people of the colonial era, which is why it comes across the way you yourself described it.

If you read colonial ethnographies, you will find descriptions written in the same tone.

It's entirely unclear what you mean by American here. Big diverse country after all.
