  There's also probably a bunch of people from rural areas in your downtown office who think you're crazy. The foreigners probably think the same thing.
I have found this to be true. Two disparate groups reject the narratives that dominate North American media: Male foreigners from arab and poorer countries, and whites from rural North America. The whites don't voice their opinions, because they get viciously attacked; the Arabs and immigrants from poorer areas just laugh at us.

And as you drill down and enumerate more and more distinct narratives you have enough stuff that basically everyone disagrees with something but nobody says anything because the penalty for disagreeing is too high.
