The USA is such a huge country, that there thousands of "cultures" here. Nothing on television reflects real American culture. Even the so called "reality" shows are manipulated and staged.


If you listen to the radio program called "This American Life" you will hear about slices of different American cultures.

From the wiki description of "This American Life": "Content varies widely by episode, and stories are often told as first-person narratives. The mood of the show ranges from gloomy to ironic, from thought-provoking to humorous. The show often addresses current events, such as Hurricane Katrina in "After the Flood." Listeners may be introduced to novel subjects and issues as well, since the program covers fringe groups within the USA as well as international matters."
