I'm English but I live in the States so I deal with these sort of cultural assumptions all the time and sometimes suspect they may be even worse because we (theoretically *g*) speak the same language so everything must be the same, right? Yeah...
Do you find that Americans tend to assume that France is monocultural? It's something I run across all the time here, the assumption that England is monocultural which is really hysterical.
