As a Latin American, who studied with Sesame Street, ate McDonalds, used Facebook/Instagram, watched Hollywood movies & US cartoons, and celebrated Christmas buying fake snow so Santa can wear a winter coat in Summer… I find the US freak out about “foreign influence” on teens using TikTok hilarious
