Baloney. No one is being maliciously ignored. As has been seen many times
before, *everyone* tends to define examples in terms of their own locale,
environment, and local audience. This is common, this is *global*.  That
page alone does not even explain the context, intended audience, etc., to
form a basis for opinion.

But, of course, everyone also interprets others according to their own
biases. That's deeply worrying as well. It's also very common and very
global.
