A British woman who moved to the United States nearly two years ago shared her biggest misconception about the country and explained why she would never choose to live anywhere else. Millie Hart, originally from England, believed that America was unsafe due to the portrayal of crime and violence in the news. However, after moving, she was pleasantly surprised by the scale and beauty of the country, the conveniences enjoyed by Americans, and the non-judgmental nature of its citizens. Hart also emphasized that while crime is an issue, it is unfair to blame all Americans for the actions of a few. She now considers herself American and feels that the news often focuses on the negative aspects rather than the positive.
