It's not that they think "Ohh, now that's America"
It's that most Europeans have a ridiculous view that all southerners are racist, Texans are fat rednecks, etc. like, imagine all your stereotypes about which states are the Inbreds, or Rednecks, Racists etc. Add that stereotype to ever adjoining state and times it by 20, that's generally the view foreigners have on Americans.
Whereas all people think when they hear California is the glamor that it gets in the Media, in films or TV, as well as the fact every tourist loves it since all they see is Yosemite, San Francisco and all the great places like that.
I don't know if any of you know anything about the UK, but in comparison it's like the difference between Croyden and St Albans in most peoples eyes.

Dunno, I've only been once, but most people think that going to Florida is like a copout because people go to Disney land and shit, which isn't America?
I don't really get the reasoning behind it, I'm just the messenger 😛

California is nice if you want to go broke living in some nice areas because the expenses there are outrageous. California is also nice if you are desperately clinging to the hope that you're a progressive, enlightened, unique snowflake.Texas is nice if you want to make the most money while having the highest standard of living possible.
