Are today's American youth more globally informed and interested in other cultures?

I may be completely wrong, but I personally can't help wonder if the American youth (high school college) are becoming more of world citizens, rather than just isolating themselves in American culture. First of all, today, from what I've read, the percentage of Americans with passports is something like 20% higher than 20 years ago. I've also read that more college students are studying abroad. Plus the there's a lot of kids in my high school who are very interested in other cultures and learning other languages, especially those of Asian countries, particularly Japan. This makes sense when you consider that today, the internet and social media have made it very easy to cross cultural boundaries and learn about another country. Plus people in my school seem to be aware of the negative stereotypes that foreigners make about "Muricans". I could be wrong, but I can't help wondering if today's American youth are more globally informed.
Oh and please explain why you think so if you say yes or no
