Well, I'm not so far from European myself. All four of my grandparents came from there. Three from Scotland and one from Germany. This June I will wed a European - an Italian goddess I'm too lucky to have found. Europe to me has always been my other home. Shortbread from my grandmothers (they competed btw), the love of hiking in the mountains from one grandfather and the enjoyment of woodworking from the other. All that and so much more. So it seems odd to me to hear of division between America and Europe. Although the US has people from many lands the world over we are largely a European derived country. One not getting along with the other seems like family breakdown to me.
