Quote by Irwin Edman, The Uses of Philoso
The standardized American is largely a myth created not least by Americans themselves.
Summary
This quote suggests that the idea of a standardized American identity is largely fictional, and is primarily perpetuated by Americans themselves. It implies that there is significant diversity within the American population, both in terms of cultural backgrounds and individual characteristics, and that this diversity goes against the notion of a singular "American" identity. The quote challenges the idea of a homogenous American identity and calls for a recognition of the multicultural and individualistic nature of the nation.
