Many on this list call for a sensitivity to race, sex, gender issues - not only
the class conflict. I am in sympathy with this. But I think it is then fair
to ask for recognition of another problem: That North Americans (f.inst. the
majority on this list) have a tendency to forget that that there are
- outside the U.S. - other countries, other cultures, other histories, other
outlooks, other experiences and other languages than English.
Regardless of how progressive and multicultural etc. you U.S. Internetters
are, you always have this tendency to hold discussions as if everyone
participating or listening in, lives in the U.S. And many of you doesn't show
the faintest interest in what is going on elsewhere.
