Where abouts are you from country wise?
that one English samurai
If its England the reason for the difference is that you come from a country with a history dating back hundreds of years. The USA by comparison isn't even 300 years old. There are countless buildings in England older than that, and not just historic museums or castles, but some places people still live. A lot of Americans are desperate for some kind of family history because their nation is so young relative to others many have no lasting history or idea of their cultural roots. That ends up being even worse the further forward any particular individuals family will have arrived, which blacks are of particular note.
