Because we all know the Eastern countries would NEVER adopt Western concepts, ergo the idea MUST be universal!
Case closed! Good job! You should treat yourself.
Meanwhile, OP (who is clearly, obviously wrong) must live in shame. Because there’s just NO WAY they might be correct, and have stated facts that are easily google-able and even has a whole Wikipedia page with all these details with cited sources in the opening paragraph, like this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaywalking
If a thing is adopted everywhere, then…yes, it would be a universal concept. Sure, it would remain an American invention but that’s not what was being said.
It’s like saying cars are a German concept, because they were invented there. And electronic TVs are American concepts. The rest of the world may have adopted them nowadays but “they are still uniquely German and American concepts.”
“Only the American mind would conceive of ‘TVs’, other cultures may adopt and ape it but it remains American.”
“Nothing but the German psyche could generate the concept of ‘cars’. Sure, other countries have adopted ‘cars’, and apply it by themselves, but it’s primarily a German concept.”
Yeah, sure, let’s see what the link says about Japan.
…
Oh. Japan doesn’t appear in the link.
But you clearly wouldn’t have posted a link without reading it first and checking whether it supports the “facts” you claim, wouldn’t you? It would be really embarrassing to do something like that, so clearly you wouldn’t do that, right? Right?
In fact, if you read through all the countries in your link, most countries only have laws against crossing red lights or crossing the road next to a pedestrian crossing.
In Japan, the only thing that’s illegal in the context of jaywalking is crossing the road at a red light, and even that is only very rarely fined.

Everything you just mentioned supports my assertion.
Did you get me mixed up with the other guy?
Ah, then I guess planes are American concepts.
I guess I’m starting to understand why eurotrash ends up so mad at America, your entire lives are simply full of Western concepts! Imagine that.
Life was so much better before the Western concept of flushable toilets.
The Wright Brothers were American so yeah, airplanes are in absolute fact American inventions.
And Flushable Toilets were a British invention. Look shit up before commenting and you won’t seem like such a moron.
Oh I didn’t realize Western and American were synonymous — you’ve really proven your point.
You should learn better reading comprehension. Unless you actually think Brittain is part of America? In which case you should learn geography.
Ah, yes, my reading comprehension is flawed.

You are fucking dumb, just so we’re clear.
LoL 😂
Every comment you make proves my point even more.
In case anyone else is watching — remember they commented about my reading comprehension first.
