Last I checked, about 50% of HN readers were in the US, and of course many of those come from other countries originally.


It seems to me that a website in English that has 50% users coming from the U.S. qualifies for the 'if' part of my statement. I think it's understandable for there to be a U.S. centric viewpoint on this site. Not that this is a good thing but it is understandable. It would be good in general for Americans to have a less U.S. centric view. (I grew up in an American colony overseas.)


Sure, I don't think that part of your statement was a problem. You're kind of dipping a toe into nationalistic flamebait though, which is probably why the GP got downvoted.
