You're missing so many points, including the fact that no one is saying the world works like "it does in my country" but: "hey, there is more in the world than America and in some/my country things are like this".

But of course, expecting Americans on FS to admit the world is diverse, that their experiences aren't the only ones that matter and that talking about that doesn't dismiss their own, is like asking the earth to stop being a planet or something like that.

Thank you. It's annoying as hell.

You are the one making up your own conversation here that no one has participated in. You're basically saying that a white lady saving dark skinned people is not racist because... because... america? Because only America has racism? Only Americans had non-white slaves? seriously? Dark-skinned people are only disadvantaged in America?

I mean, what the hell are you trying to argue? No one has even said they are American.

AYRT
You probably think I'm an specific anon, which I'm not?

And also, mentioning different slavery practices through the history (and other stuff related to racisms, etc.) is not worse than defending an ethnocentric argument based on American standards.

You forgot the: "You disagree, so you must be as white as I am. Because if you are POC then why aren't you praising me for defending you, you stinky foreigner shit????"

I should have spent so much more time adding disclaimers that Americancentrism really is annoying and (yes, the dreaded) problematic. I just think that too many people replace it with other arguments that are equally irrelevant. This isn't about how things work in America or Spain or Morocco.
