I've come to realized the reason why Americans are just bad at it, is that it's mostly due to religion.

They're not really surrounded by masterpiece works at a young age. They're surrounded by shitty Disney artwork. If not, their religious life is hollow since being mostly prots that insist upon no icons, they're just surrounded by brick walls most of the time, with no artwork to meditate at.

Note, I say Americans specifically since once you move out into Europe and some Canadians, particularly countries with high Catholic/Orthodox art, e.g. France, they can practically draw on-par with Asians if they want to.

The advantage East Asians have is that they're writing system is pretty much drawing, so that's why they're good at it. If you actually remove an East Asian and strictly bring him or her up in a purely non-Asian American environment, they're going to be as bad as the rest.
