Don't understand why you're being downvoted, here.




Because the second sentence is inflammatory.

The side comment is right, it's about low versus high trust societies. Even if GP made a mistake on which names are relevant, they're not being racist about it.


That's one opinion. Here's another - they were waiting with their commentary locked and loaded, and failed to even read the source material in any detail before unloading it.

They're making broad assertions about specific societies, when those assertions are in this instance in no way related to TFA.


Yes, on looking more closely it’s possible that they made an honest mistake.
