I guess we will never get rid of our colonial mentality. 😞

In no way am I pointing at colonialism. It’s just that you live where you live and it’s easy to think that’s the world.

That’s why I think sticking with old set definitions is so unhelpful.

Actually getting into this debate here will lead nowhere but to insults.
