Now imagine some retards tried to claim New York State was an independent country that had nothing to do with America.
That New York was never REALLY part of America.
That New Yorkers don't speak English, or even "American English" or "American", but "New Yorker".
That there's a Hollywood film industry, and a New York film industry.
That there's an American cuisine with different regional varieties like New England food with seafood and chowder, southern food with chicken and biscuits, Texan food with brisket and BBQ, and Midwestern food with casserole and hotdish... along with a New York food that has nothing to do with the aforementioned regional traditions, because of its bagels, chopped cheese, and special Jewish and Arab cultural influences the rest of America might not be getting enough of.
That they have bodegas and Broadway as part of their separate culture, even though it's all obviously derived from American culture, and you can find a lot of the same stuff elsewhere in America.
Sadly, a ton of people around the world believe this shit, even though the actual facts couldn't be more obvious.
