I don't diminish the struggles of anyone in the third world
No no no, I wasn't actually trying to imply you did, I only pointed it out as the situation or a phenomenon that I'm used to with people around me as Nigeria itself could be considered a third world country as well. It's true, a lot of us have a different fictionised version of what American truly is and this can be really heightened by the media; mainstream and social.
I find it very enlightening that I could really read your expository and historical point of view
