The world owes the United States a great debt. From security and trade to technology and culture, the world has so much to thank America for. But one American export we don’t all appreciate are your culture wars.

I was born in Britain, and as I write, my own country keeps getting roiled by culture wars imported from yours.

Three years ago, when the United States had its #MeToo moment, it flooded straight across to Britain. It took down, among others, a UK defense minister who 15 years earlier had put his hand on a female journalist’s knee. It was a very British sex scandal, for it involved no sex. But it had all the fury and certainty of America’s sexual counterrevolution.

This week, when a Democratic senator started pretending that the term “sexual preference” is a homophobic slur, the legacy gay press in Britain ran with the same crock claim. Within hours, a term everyone in Britain — including gay people — politely used until yesterday had become a “hate term.”

And, of course, thanks to Black Lives Matter, a very American race-debate has been transplanted wholesale into the UK.

Four years ago, I watched the first major BLM protest in Britain.
